works like a charm grizz. Thanks.

Now ... to test it in the cockpit.

p.s Ok first test shows the positioning of the Kneeboard on the screen is not working. I moved it from the default left to the right side - the result in cockpit showed the kneeboard in the centre left of the screen. So it did move, just not the right position. The screen size was reported correctly in the program me. If I may ask, which file is modified to change position? I can then use the program me and go and check what changes are actually being made.

Thanks for catching that. It was a math conversion typo in the program. It is fixed and will be released with the next update soon.

FYI it modifies the 'ViewportHandling.lua' located here:

"....\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\ViewportHandling.lua"

Also, are you still unable to drag and drop with the most recent update?

Version 1.4.2.0 is now available.

Version 1.4.2.0 Changelog:
-fixed issue of custom kneeboard position not being set correctly when viewed in DCS
-modified default size and position of kneeboard preview to match the DCS defaults

Thank you kindly sir.
I cannot wait to try this out to include a Checklist for Ka-50 Startup (because I don't have any Ink for my Printer to create Hard Copies).

Thanks to AlaskanGrizzly for turning me on to this.

I also don't have any ink ... because the bankers stole all the factors of production by printing money.

Be that as it may ... updating (and patching to version 1.4.2.0 breaks the program me successfully. Reverting to 1.4.1.0 still appears to work if I manually import pdf's.

Thanks again Grizzly.

Something I noticed at the weekend is when I accidently toggled cockpit off in the A10c the right MFCD is displayed exactly where I have my kneeboard when I activate kneeboard it pops up infront of the MFCD, just curious as to how on earth that happened does the right MFCD share something with the kneeboard.

Disregard the suggestions I gave you earlier.

Apparently there is a bug where the program settings sometimes become corrupted after the program is updated. I am working on a fix.

For now, if the program does not want to start right after an update, delete the 'settings.xml' and 'KneeboardBuilder.exe.config' files and try starting it again. You will then need to verify your directory settings in Options -> Preferences.

Sorry for steering you down the wrong path earlier.

I suppose the right MFCD could possible use the same viewport settings. I don't know of a way to prevent that from happening . . .

Thanks again Grizzly.

You may have a corrupt system .dll that is not working correctly.
