AlaskanGrizzly Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 The profile is selected, and the viewporthandling.lua seems to be edited with the numbers I put into the kneeboard builder. The kneeboard still isn't relocated or resized though. I use 4 screens. Three on top and one below. The three on top are "as one" with nvidia surround, but part of the kneeboard end up outside of the view below my surround screen. It sounds like you need to constrain the DCS World resolution to your surround screen resolution using the "DCS Resolution Offset" in the modify position window: DCS Resolution Offset The Height Offset and Width Offset controls in the DCS Resolution box will be useful to constrain the kneeboard position to your main screen. The values entered into the Height Offset and Width Offset boxes will be added your DCS resolution. For example, if your DCS resolution is 2500 x 1080 and your main screen resolution is 1920 x 1080, entering -580 in the Height Offset box will constrain the kneeboard position to your 1920 x 1080 screen.

Challenger444 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Mig-21 Kneeboard Display Hello Applies to version Open Beta. I have still the problem that the Mig-21 Kneeboard display is transparent (as picture1) in the upper left corner in the corner? For all other modules the display is correctly placed in the lower right corner, as I have set it in the Kneeboardbuilder (see picture 2)! Yes, I start the Kneeboarbuilder as an admin, yes the "size settings" in the lua checked and all the same / correct, but the display of the picture1 seems to be the "old" DCS Kneeboard and not the Grizzly.:noexpression: Have the Kneeboardbuilder re-installed again, but the problem remains! I know that the display of the Mig-21 in previous versions worked perfectly. Ask for help. Challenger444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Challenger444 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 Thanks Alaskan Grizzly for the message, do you know how I can change the size of the standard Mig-21 Kneeboard builder, that the same size as in the other modules, see picture 2?:smilewink: Challenger444 The Mig-21 kneeboard in your picture is displaying correctly.

SageOT Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 So this is a question from a VR user.... Is there a way to set the kneeboard to be actually on my virtual knee? Guess that would involve rotating it on the horizontal axis...? If there is can someone tell me how? If there's not... is it a future possibility? Thanks, Sage PS: Didn't scroll back through all the pages so I can't remember if I've said it before, so just in case. THANK YOU! AG, amazing program. Thanks so much for releasing this to the community! VFA-25 Fist of the Fleet[sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Virtual Carrier Strike Group One | Discord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dallas48 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 I right clicked on the file itself, and on the exe. but niether give me the option to run as administrator. Is there another way to do it? Thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWillis Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 The best way to get the program to run in administrator mode is to right click the icon, select properties, go to the compatibility tab, and check the "run this program as an administrator" box. It is wise to do that for DCS World, Teamspeak and The Kneeboard Builder app. Once you have followed those steps, they'll always run in administrator mode.

dallas48 Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Hi NeilWillis, All I have is the rar. It wont install, so there isnt an icon to right click. I tried to right click the rar itself, and the kneeboard builder exe. in the rar, but there are no options you mentioned. Ive downloaded it 3 times , same problem so not a bad download. I turned off my anti-virus too, still cant get it to install. I have win 7 pro Is there any other way to install it? Thank you both for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilWillis Posted October 13, 2016 Share Posted October 13, 2016 Ah I see where the problem is... What you'll need to do is extract the files from the RAR file - which is a compressed version, used to minimise download file size. Just right click the icon, and select "Extract to Kneeboard Builder". Once that completes, you will find the exe file in the resulting folder. I hope that helps.

ron533 Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 Hi, I was messing with the kneeboard size and position manually and it worked fine, until IC was introduced and now I get Integrity Check false... Then I saw Kneebaord Builder... does the Kneeboard Builder handles another file which passes the IC checks?? where is it if so?? I change this file: DCS folder, Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\ViewportHandling.lua the line I edit is this (line 33) dedicated_viewport = {default_x,default_y,default_width,default_height} to this dedicated_viewport = {5000,2,950,1150} Many Thanks!

wmar67 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) Hi Thank you very much for giving this great utility to the community. However, does it work with DCS 2? If that's in this thread, then sorry, but a search on DCS 2 didn't return a valid post that I could see. I ask because although it loads, I select the manual (in this case Su-25T pdf) and the Select Aircraft drop down only has General DCS World Kneeboard and Default Kneeboard Thank you again Edit NM - Setting the DCS folder was the fix - should've watched the tutorial videos Edited October 30, 2016 by wmar67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tic-Tac Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Can anyone comment on why for me kneeboard settings is greyed out? Also I seem to be able to follow the process of creating a custom kneeboard, can see the files in the kneeboard folder of the aircraft, but when I fly I can only see the default kneeboard pages...
