Kneeboard Builder (windows app)

Recommended Posts

I'm getting this image for my dynamic kneeboard pages and have no idea why. :helpsmilie:

I've updated to the newest version 1.6.5.0

 

Can you upload or PM me your dcs.log file found at \Saved Games\DCS\Logs\dcs.log right after you try flying a mission.

 

Thanks.

Sometimes I get that too. The mission extracted info are missing and that image appear on all pages that should have been with that info.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can I ask for a "feature"?

 

Could you make a button/menu option to remove automatically the airport charts? I don't use them and after each update I need to go and manually delete them.

 

I am talking about the ones from here:

Outstanding support sir!

Fixed my issue with the Dynamic, after some back and forth. Hope this got him a fix that will work for everyone. I'll let him post the fix or it may be a patch issue.

 

Great Mod again Sir.

Sometimes files will get mixed around or changed after updates so here are some steps to try if the Dynamic Kneeboards aren't working:

 

1) Delete the folder 'KneeboardData' at \Saved Games\DCS\Data\KneeboardData

 

2) Look in 'Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Scripts\net' and see if you have an 'events-original.lua'. If you do, delete 'events.lua' and rename the 'events-original.lua' to 'events.lua'.

 

3) Open Kneeboard Builder and close it once it fully loads (this should rebuild all of the files you deleted)

 

4) Fly one of the quickstart missions and see if the dynamic kneeboards work.

 

5) If the kneeboards work in a quickstart mission, try them in a multiplayer mission.

no, it appears because I can click indefinitely the "clear custom kneeboard for DCS World" button and never it actually clears so I can add it again.

zaelu,

I am still trying to figure out what might be causing that issue for you.

Streggles,

 

Right after you trying running Kneeboard Builder, could you look at your windows application event logs and post any error events that might be appearing for Kneeboard Builder.

 

To view the event logs:

Type 'event viewer' in your windows search -> expand 'windows logs' -> click on 'application'

 

Is a way can I use my IPad as Kneeboard? Will be great have a app with the same DCS design. Something with tools for the navigation. Something that let me make marks. Will be awesome someone make an app for our tablets.

 

I have been looking at some ideas...

The app crashed at startup until I ran it as administrator. Then it started working and I didn't have to run it as administrator any more.

One of the files may have become corrupted during the update process. It seems to happen sometimes.

 

The app crashed at startup until I ran it as administrator. Then it started working and I didn't have to run it as administrator any more.

 

 

That one is strange... It seems to have had trouble loading the user interface the first time you ran it. Let me know if you have any other issues with it.

Mine crashes on startup every time unless it is run as administrator (Win10). Not a big deal at all for me personally.

 

Also, easily the best program I have downloaded that compliments DCS World. Incredibly simple yet powerful software that I would now not fly without.

 

So thanks AlaskanGrizzly! :thumbup:

I have a issue when using dynamic kneeboard in DCS when in missions I created the mission data that is being generated for the kneeboard is from the Campaign not the current mission I am about to fly. Is there a fix for this? Also I added the list of missions I created to the dynamic kneeboard and still the same issue.

Thanks,

If you having issues with a prior mission appearing in the dynamic kneeboard try deleting this folder:

 

C:\Users\{Your User Profile Name}\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS

Thank you I hope I will not have to do that every time, because it would be quiet annoying if one did.

Keeps showing the same mission

 

Hey! Great app!

 

I recently had to reinstall DCS. I deleted everything from Kneeboard and reinstalled.

 

The waypoints are showing up just fine....but for some reason the mission and radio data keep showing a mission from "Ramp start Black Sea" mission.

 

Please help! I became so dependent on this app I almost don't want to play without it!
