sobe Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 Can the kneeboard that comes with the Mig 21 be placed on a second screen and if so, how?

Reksi-Erkki Posted February 5, 2015 Posted February 5, 2015 I'm using the Kneeboard Builder app to resize & move the kneeboard around, works great! http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=129341 Dear Shilka. I hate you so very very much. Love, Rex
sobe Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 Just to be clear, are you using the kneeboard app developed by AlaskanGrizzly and not the one that came with the game? If so, did you copy and paste some of the docs in the kneeboard that came with the game into the kneeboard mod by AlaskanGrizzly?

Einherjer Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 With this tool you can edit the INGAME kneepad
drhyed Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 With this tool you can edit the INGAME kneepad I think what sobe is hoping to do is have the kneeboard exported to a 2nd display, say like an ipad or a smaller usb monitor.
Aginor Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 I'm not sure, I thought he meant he has two screens attached to his PC and wants to display the kneeboard on the second one. You don't even need a tool for that. Just punch in the screen coordinates in the lua file. Unfortunately I am not at home right now, so I can't tell you which one. Could be view.lua or something.

Aginor Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 Here it is. Probably not the best way, but the way I did it: In "scripts/aircrafts/common/cockpit" there is a file called "ViewportHandling.lua" In line 20 there is something like this: dedicated_viewport = {default_x,default_y,default_width,default_height} which I changed to: dedicated_viewport = {1930,200,562,750} So now the kneeboard is right to my main screen (which is 1920*1080), 200 pixels from the top, and the rest is the size of the kneeboard.

PiedDroit Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Here is the proper way to do it: In file \Mods\aircraft\MiG-21BIS\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD\indicator\init.lua, add the following text before the last line: try_find_assigned_viewport("KNEEBOARD_MiG21","KNEEBOARD") Your file will look like this at the end of file: is_left = true is_top = true zoom_value = 0.5 default_width = 0.25 * LockOn_Options.screen.height update_screenspace_diplacement(2/3,is_left,zoom_value) try_find_assigned_viewport("KNEEBOARD_MiG21","KNEEBOARD") dedicated_viewport_arcade = dedicated_viewport In your monitor.lua file, create a new viewport named KNEEBOARD_MiG21 (if this does not exist the script will take the viewport named KNEEBOARD instead): KNEEBOARD_MiG21= { x = 1930; y = 200; width = 562; height = 750; } And you're done ;)
sobe Posted February 7, 2015 Author Posted February 7, 2015 Two good responses, but it seems that using AlaskanGrizzly's mod is the best and simplest solution. Thanks to both of you for responding.
