Hi, I've not been able to get this to work – would really appreciate some help (I'm a non-coder).

  • I installed latest DL msix. At first on running, no sign of the app running (in task manager).
  • Removed and installed a few times and now it appears in task manager but not in VR.
  • I have two DCS openbeta installs. I assume I will need to direct Open Kneeboard to these folders (or at least one of them to begin with).
  • I've read all the help info but can't find any of the settings they describe – for example 'GameSettings'?
  • How can I tell Open Kneeboard DCS locations, configure bindings etc if I can't access the app?
  • I cannot see any Open Kneeboard hooks in scripts folder (seen this mentioned) presumably because Open kneeboard was unable to install stuff properly because it doesn't have the DCS folders?
  • I have discovered the 'Windows Apps' folder and given myself access to that, but it looks mostly code I can't change?

Would really appreciate some help thank you!

Can someone help? If I can get a chucks guide to display in vr I think my life will be complete! I can get it to appear in vr but no content shown. I am not the most technical but can normally get things working. Thanks in advance

Sorry, I'm not often on these forums; it looks like you've both found either Discord or GitHub Discussions though 🙂

For others:
- if the app opens, click on "Help" in the bottom left
- if not, check out https://github.com/OpenKneeboard/OpenKneeboard#getting-help

Not a desktop icon but I typed in Openknee in the Windows search (bottom left task bar) then right clicked on the App in the list and pinned to Taskbar, which was all I wanted.

Modern "windows apps" are annoyingly restricted 😞 There should be a launcher in `C:\ProgramData\OpenKneeboard` that you can create a shortcut to.

The next version will be an old-fashioned MSI going into Program Files instead of the MSIX windowsapp thing, as:

  • Microsoft keep locking down MSIX/Windows Apps more and more; stuff doesn't work as well as it used to because of this
  • Some Microsoft tools that OpenKneeboard uses used to *require* MSIX - but don't any more

Great program.  I have it up and running okay.  Using an Huion 420X

 

One issue - When I hover the stylus over the tablet I can see the small cursor in the kneeboard window.  However, as I move this cursor to navigate in the kneeboard window it also moves the DCS cursor.  Subsequently, when i push on the tablet to select a menu item on the upper menu bar of the kneeboard I get inadvertent clicks of cockpit switches because of the DCS cursors location not being in line with the cursor in the kneeboard.  Any fix for this?

That said, https://github.com/OpenKneeboard/OpenKneeboard/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting/huion-tablet.md probably addresses your issue 🙂

That did the trick.  The last sentence in the guide fixed my issue. "In the Huion app, set the work area to "All Displays" (especially for WMR headsets)"

I've been using the MT version of DCS for a week with SRS and XRNecksafer with no issues.  Yesterday I decided to launch OpenKneeboard to use with MT.  My client crashes after 1-5 minutes in the sim.  Did this six straight times.  I shutdown OpenKneeboard and haven't had an issue since.  So if you're crashing in DCS MT - it may be Openkneeboard.  Would need feedback from others to confirm.

Updating the link from my previous post: https://openkneeboard.com/getting-help.html is the best place to get help

So if you're crashing in DCS MT - it may be Openkneeboard.  Would need feedback from others to confirm.

Could you use the link above, and include:
- which headset you're using (if any)
- DCS crash logs and dmp files (or the zip that includes them)

If you're using Oculus or non-VR, work through  https://openkneeboard.com/troubleshooting/oculus-or-non-vr.html#game-crashes first

So far I'm not aware of any issues involving MT and OpenKneeboard.

Just to recap: I am not regularly active on these forums. Use the information on the OpenKneeboard website (https://openkneeboard.com) for help or issues with openkneeboard.

I'll test it tonight and see if it does it again with OpKb and grab the log/dmp for you.  I'm using a Reverb G2

Ok, so I downloaded Open Kneeboard and followed all the instructions but I can only write on the kneeboard in VR when Open Kneeboard is the primary window. I can't write on the one in VR. I have the Huion640P tablet. I selected invasive mode and added plugin. I'm so close to making it work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I feel like its an overlay thing, idk.

Kneebord window should be placed at the same place as DCS window on the screen

Has anyone been able to get open kneeboard to show up in the dcs mirror for vr to record via obs? I cannot get it and If love to use it in my videos but it doesnt show up

Posted

Hi there,

 

Does anyone else have an issue in VR where you are constantly having to reposition the kneeboard every time you load up the headset? Is this normal?

Its quite hard to do this and make sure its exactly where you want it with a headset on and trying to move a slider on the monitor at the same time.

 

Thanks.

Hi all!!
Tell me, can I interact with the tablet in the VR DC, using an ordinary mouse to press and switch pages, as well as switch to the desired page from the content inside Openkneboard ???
Or is this interaction only using a stylus from a graphic tablet (for example, Wacom Intuos S) ???

I would like to purchase a tablet with pen for interacting with kneeboard in VR.

I read that the best option would be wacom intous s...does the bluetooth version works as well?

Would you (guys here) advice it or, a wired cheaper solution like the Huion 640p works better?

Thanks

I got the Wacom Intuos S for exactly this reason, and it works exactly how I hoped it would.  I don't recall how much it was, it was cheap - I even when and picked it up at Staples.   I recommend.
