[All Modules] Move/Edit Kneeboard position

Dear Pilots,

I was wondering how to move and edit the size of the Kneeboard, as I am using two 8" MFD monitors in addition of the main 27", my kneeboard is always looking weird while I'm flying the A-10C or KA-50 with my 3 monitors.

I know Peter P did a great tablet mod while ago, but I only want to edit the kneeboard emplacement.

Many thanks in advance ! :smilewink:

You can try this windows application that I made that allows you to easily modify the size and position of the kneeboard.

The feature can be found under Options -> Kneeboard Settings -> Size and Position.

If you want to do it manually, place the attached modified 'ViewportHandling.lua' file in the 'Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit' directory. (make a copy of the original file first)

Open the 'ViewportHandling.lua' file in a text editor like Notepad++ and change the kneeY, kneeX, kneePosY and kneePosY values to meet your needs.

local kneeY = 597 (kneeboard vertical position)

local kneeX = 519 (kneeboard horizontal position)

local kneePosY = 42 (kneeboard height)

local kneePosX = 435 (kneeboard width)

ViewportHandling.lua

Awesome !!

Many thanks my friend ! That was exactly what I was looking for ! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:

I think it is :

local kneeY = 597 (kneeboard height)

local kneeX = 519 ( kneeboard width)

local kneePosY = 42 (kneeboard vertical position)

local kneePosX = 435 (kneeboard horizontal position)

That's right, I wrote it out too quick :)

Does someone tried to change the position of the kneeboard in DCS 1.5 / 2.0 ?

The tweak above does not seem to work anymore :(

Thanks !

Hi my friend.

I only change the position of KB to the most left of screen, and that always works for me.

In any case I'd like to share how to do;

Open init.lua at "...Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD\indicator\"

Go to line #123 and change the parameter to true.

So, the code block must be seen as below:

if is_left == nil then
  is_left =  true
end

With this modify, you'll see the KB at left!

See you. :)

Is there a way, to make the kneeboard visebeil while using Oculus ?

I have heard that if you position the kneeboard in the center of the screen you should be able to use it with Oculus.

Hi guys, thanks for your feedback,

everything is running fine in 1.2, but I'm not able to edit the position of the kneeboard in 1.5 nor 2.0.

Find attached my modified lua for my multi monitor system (extracted MFD's)

Thanks again for your help ;)

ViewportHandling.lua

Likiki,

There is an error in line 33:

Line 33

dedicated_viewport 		  = {default_x,default_y,default_width,default_height}

Change to:

dedicated_viewport = {kneePosX,kneePosY,kneeX,kneeY}

I made the necessary changes in the attached file.

Will this work in Oculus ?

Will this work in 2.0 and 1.5 ?
