Have you hold your 1.2.3 input files ?, I think you need to renews your input

mine...

Is it available in the A-10C as well? Or can it be made available? :music_whistling:

Harke · May 1, 2013

I have see a mod for that... *searching....* here ! http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1670965#post1670965

but it was for 1.2.3, don't know if it will work with 1.2.4

pepin1234 · May 1, 2013

I just find the Kneeboard in the F-15 with the official 1.2.4. Why I have not Kneeboard in Su-27 and all the russian planes?

after removing saved games/dcs/config/input i get the kneeboard settings - but then my axes, keys etc. are gone ...

is it possible to merge 1.2.3 and 1.2.4 settings without reassigning everything?

Yes, it is possible. You would just have to take the default lua files from 1.2.4 and copy the missing functions into your saved lua files.

Use Notepad++, not Windows Notepad.

Thanks! here's the code to add:

--Kneeboard
{combos = {{key = ']'}}                           ,             down = 3001        , cockpit_device_id  = 1, value_down = 1.0, name = 'Kneeboard Next Page'  , category = 'Kneeboard'},
{combos = {{key = '['}}                           ,             down = 3002        , cockpit_device_id  = 1, value_down = 1.0, name = 'Kneeboard Previous Page', category = 'Kneeboard'},
{combos = {{key = 'K', reformers = {'RShift'}}},             down = iCommandPlaneShowKneeboard    , name = 'Kneeboard ON/OFF', category = 'Kneeboard'},
{combos = {{key = 'K'}}                           ,             down = iCommandPlaneShowKneeboard    , up = iCommandPlaneShowKneeboard ,value_down = 1.0,value_up = -1.0, name = 'Kneeboard glance view'  , category = 'Kneeboard'},
{combos = {{key = 'K', reformers = {'RCtrl'}}} ,             down = 3003        , cockpit_device_id  = 1,value_down = 1.0, name = 'Kneeboard current position mark point'  , category = 'Kneeboard'},

How can I get the Knee Board in the Huey?:music_whistling:

I want it! I want it now!:cry::prop:

IvanK · May 1, 2013

Can someone confirm the Kneeboard is only visible whilst the keys are held pressed down, in other words you cant have it just sitting there ?

IASGATG · May 1, 2013

Strange, I do not have the "Kneeboard" category.

Never even noticed that new colum ...... thanks :)

To get the Kneeboard up I had to delete my "Keyboard.LUA" in... Users/yourname/Saved games/DCS/Config/Input/Aircraft type/Keyboard.

Then re enter the game and the Keyboard.LUA is automatically regenerated with the extra options.

If you have a lot of customised or changed keybindings from default you will need to re code them. If you have not changed the default key bindings you are good to go.

After doing this the Kneeboard works well using a momentary glance or Sticky mode.

are you sure that does not break something in my control config?

Its a pretty straight forward process to add new buttons to existing profiles.

Rename your keyboard.lua file to something else.

Start the sim, and go to the options for that aircraft. A new keyboard file will be generated.

Use notepad++ to compare the files. Copy and paste any new entries into your customized keyboard.lua.

Delete the default keyboard.lua and rename your customized one back to keyboard.lua.

I dont think so , it didn't in mine as the control stuff (TrkIr, F16MFD, Joysticks etc) are all separate categories.

I think Grimes way is better ... wished I had thought of that :)

I have a problem with the Kneeboard. I use two screens and the Kneeboard appears between the two screens.

There is any file to modify to force the Kneeboard to stay in the main UI screen?

Thank Grimes, but I will not do that. I wait for an official update to fix that. I have a lot of custom setting in my control config and I dont understand why I have this problem and only happen with the russian planes.

tried this but it didn't generate new files, even after removing them completely, Editing the file in N++ to add the kneeboard controls suggested earlier also didn't work. :(
