johnv2pt0 Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 As a multi-monitor user, the interface for the kneeboard is very annoying because of multiple drag/resize actions every time starting up an aircraft. It would be very nice to either change the default position to the entire screen origin (x=0,y=0) or better yet implementing a UI element in the options to allow the user to specify a different location. Thanks for your consideration. 5
Slippa Posted June 8, 2023 Posted June 8, 2023 Good shout. Wonder if it would an idea to let us adjust the opacity too? 1
goldleader Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 Currently in the Saved Games\Config folder there is a LUA file to set the position of BDA, Chat, Voice Chat and if used SRS, would be great if ED could utilise a similar file in saved games for kneeboard size and position, although it probably is not that simple due to legacy code and such. 2 AMD 9800X3D CPU @ 5.1GHz, Win11 Pro 64bit, Gigabyte X870E AORUS MASTER Mobo, G.Skill Trident Z5 Neo RGB 64GB 600Mhz Ram, 1 x Samsung 990EVO 2Tb .m2 (DCS), 1 x ADATA SX8200 Pro 1Tb Drive (OS), 1 x RTX 2080Ti AORUS Waterforce 11Gb, 3 x 27" ACER Predator 2560x1440px, 27" LG 2560x1440px, HP Reverb G2, TrackIR5, HOTAS Warthog Throttle and Stick, Thrustmaster TPR, 3 x HOTAS Cougar MFCDs, Elgato Streamdeck, Streamdeck XL & Streamdeck+

To the contrary I believe it should be simple. After all they changed the code so you could drag and resize it, and I think it was supposed to remember the last position. Wish we also could drag the controls indicator and cargo indicator around, or at least manipulate the positions without breaking IC. Cheers!

Yes, that would be optimal, but also having it save the position separately for each airframe/cockpit would be good. but a good start would be a file where we can change the values simply and would probably not need too much coding, basically you would need the kneeboard position, size and opacity within the current file system to reference the new kneeboardconfig.lua file and place said file in config folder of saved games.
