Solemn-laugh Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 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!
raptorman0 Posted October 31, 2022 Posted October 31, 2022 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

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 2 My projects: OpenKneeboard - VR and non-VR kneeboard with optional support for drawing tablets; get help HTCC - Quest hand tracking for DCS; get help If you need help with these projects, please use their 'get help' links above; I'm not able to track support requests on these forums.
Indyplumber Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 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?

Indyplumber Posted March 18, 2023 Posted March 18, 2023 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.

Talon444 Posted April 24, 2023 Posted April 24, 2023 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.

McCloud Posted May 2, 2023 Posted May 2, 2023 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.

Mazit Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 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) ???

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.
