Malek Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 (edited) Hello everyone, Since the last patch on the 10.02. I can no longer use my kneeboard on the Viggen effectively. I can show and hide it, but all other functions as "switching pages" or "marking my position" are not usable. When I try to rebind the keys ingame nothing changes, but when I try it from the main menu the keybinding of "kneeboard - next page" is coloured red and when I change it my game freezes. Next, I tried it with and without the controller emulator from my HOTAS Warthog but still no sign of a change. My kneeboard is still working with all other aircraft. I'm using no modifications. DCS Version 1.5.6.1938.247. Repairing with the updater does not help. I hope there's a solution for the problem and I was able to deliver most of the necessary information, if not, feel free to ask. Kind regards Malek Edit: The problem with the freezing game seems to be a general problem with dcs and is not related to the kneeboard problem. But I'm still curious why the keybinding was coloured red. Edited February 16, 2017 by Malek New information added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doodenkoff Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 If an action bind displays as red, it indicates you have the button already bound to another action. Win 10 | i7 4770 @ 3.5GHz | 32GB DDR3 | 6 GB GTX1060 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malek Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 From what I can gather, there is nobody who has the same problem. So reinstalled all the modules and afterwards whole dcs, but still no change, I can't use the kneeboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 rename your "dcs" folder in your saved games directory and then try again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malek Posted February 17, 2017 Author Share Posted February 17, 2017 Already tried that, but again it does not help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 do you have any mods? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malek Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 As I wrote, I use at the moment no mods. Usually I fly with Bartheks GTM 6.5, but for solving this problem I deactivated it. (I'm using JSGME) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panzerfan Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 I have the same problem, without the crashing though. But managed to be able to switch the kneeboard pages forward, but not backward. The Viggen is the only affected module Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malek Posted February 18, 2017 Author Share Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Okey, I found the problem! You can fix the bug with the kneeboard when you go to your Keyboard.diff file. The file can be found usually at Users\ "Your user" \Saved Games\DCS\Config\Input\AJS37\keyboard. There you must open the file with a suitable editor (I would recommend Notepad ++) and search for the entries with the names "Kneeboard - next page" and "Kneeboard - previous page" (May be called differently). Under those is a command which says ["removed"]. Change this to ["added"]. Now your kneeboard should switch pages again! This is just a very rudimentary explanation, I'll post soon another one with pictures. Finally I can fly again the viggen! :pilotfly: Edited February 18, 2017 by Malek My english is bad...

Panzerfan Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 It does, work but it kkeps reverting back to "removed" and it also deletes a couple of other controls like the numpad I mapped to the bord computer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

609_Relentov Posted March 8, 2017 Share Posted March 8, 2017 I'm having this problem too. I did as well, and in controls the [, ], and ctrl-k mappings were highlighted red, even though I hadn't done any remapping. I simply clicked on each of those key mappings and clicked Clear, then saved. When I went back into controls I remapped them back as the same key mappings (default) and saved and they worked fine again. One note, I was in cockpit when I made the changes as that's obviously when I noticed I couldn't move to the next kneeboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
