Kneeboard Position Saving

[MadKreator]

It would be great if we could save the kneeboard position and size, similar to using R-Alt+Numpad 0 for the default view.
 

Yes it can be resized with the mouse, but for us multi-display users it be comes quite the chore mission after mission, flight after flight to move and resize the gigantic kneeboard that its 3/4 off of the mainscreen
A Hotkey to save the coordinates and size in a lua file seems like it would be a fairly simple fix. ( I don’t code, just venturing a guess since the camera view uses a similar idea).

Won't pass IC check, but you can change it here:

\DCS World OpenBeta\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\ViewportHandling.lua

dedicated_viewport  = {3910,2437,600,700}       --  <<  AT LINE 33

 

It is set as "default", you'll need to figure out what co-ordinates you need to use.

Or even if there was a line for it in options.lua, like the chat window position has. Something… anything!

I would expand this request by possiblity to save the kneepad bookmarks per module, as some of them can consist of dozens of pages.

+1 from me. I've been editing that viewport handling file after every update for what seems like the dawn of time. I had hoped that by recreating the Scripts folder in my savedgames/dcs folder that it would read from there much the way liveries and custom kneeboards do. I can go months with out using the kneeboard so I could cope with it. Now though I've found that the f4 bombing table and manual open over on the other screen too!

Would love to have a saved or settable kneeboard position because, yes with multiscreen its always on the wrong spot and size initially.

This would be awesome. Ever since getting the Winwing MIPs the kneeboard has been off the screen for me and on the little MIP but way larger than that screen. No one I ask, DCS or winwing, has been helpful in fixing it.

For anyone using VoiceAttack, you can use it to drag and resize it anywhere without breaking IC.
