Hornet kneeboard position help please

[markturner1960]

Hi, I use the cubesim MFD’s and have had to change the .lua file because of issues with where DCS was projecting. My main monitor is 3840 wide and the screens 600, so my resolution in DCS is 4440 wide. In windows, the displays are arranged to the right hand side of my main monitor. 
Everything works great for the screens, except my kneeboard is displayed half off the main monitor.

Where can I edit the position it display to please?

Sorry I don't know. But until somebody comes with a solution, just drag/resize it to your needs in the meantime.

HaHa, yes, I did try this, but seem unable to drag the thing? I can extend the edge or the top I can see but am unable to click and drag the bugger..... not sure why....

You can drag KB by click&hold on the top "bar" of the KB. It's an invisible bar like 10-15 top pixels of the KB.

Bingo, thanks, was obviously clicking everywhere but that strip.....

You can edit the following file to set the initial position of the kneeboard to your liking:

 

Scripts/Aircrafts/_Common/Cockpit/ViewportHandling.lua

 

Look for the following line and modify accordingly:

 

local x0 = 0

 

From experimenting, the value in the variable represents the offset in pixels from the right edge of your monitor(s).  For example, my second monitor has a resolution of 1920x1080 so I changed this value to:

 

local x0 = 1920

 

That pushes the kneeboard 1920 pixels to the left and puts it on the left edge of my first monitor.

Hi Together,

I had a similar issue with the kneeboard not showing due to my high resolution monitor with 3840 x 2160. Now I change line 12 and 13 as attached. However, the kneeboard shows up too low on my screen, so I can see only the upper part. I may drag it up with the mouse but I kindly ask whether anybody has some advice of how to position the kneeboard right?

Thanks for your support

Try messing with:

dedicated_viewport                   = {3910,2437,600,700} 

It's at line 33.  By default it has a "default" variable in there.  Mine sets the kneeboard down and to the right on my external MFD, so you'll need to see what numbers you need to get it where you want.

Hi Rob,

This worked well for me. I left width and length as you mentioned and found suitable values for x and y axis. May I assume that I need to change back to default before having a multi-player session to ensure compatibility?

Kind regards

Yep, if it's a server that wants PURE SCRIPTS (IC on) you will have to change it back.
