Kneeboard working but....

Hello!

Glad to see the kneeboard kind of working now, but has anyone tried it before releasing for the patch?

Fonts are way too small and the data is missaligned, see screenshots.

same here

same, but i can't even change the sides of the kneeboard, anyone the same problem? any tipps

Try the attached .zip file. Extract everything to the '...\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AJS37\Cockpit\scripts\KNEEBOARD\pages' folder and replace all the .lua files.

All I did was modify the font size modifier from .06 to .95 in each file.

You can continue to tweak the font size to your liking by changing the red numbers in line 89 (sometimes 90) in each of the .lua files. Try small increments (.01 or .05) until it looks good for you. You will have to reload the mission to see your changes (Shift - R).

txt.stringdefs	= {default_char_height*[b][color="Red"]0.95[/color][/b], default_char_width*[b][color="red"]0.95[/color][/b],0,0}

Thank you very much! It is not perfekt fitting now but at least I can now read the QFE :thumbup:

Nice not to have to wait again for the next update just for this.

In addition to this issue, the pages are not displayed in the proper order for me. I opened a mission with two pages of waypoints. A tan options page was displayed between the two waypoint pages.

Also, the kneeboard is on the right instead of left. Can it be moved? I don't believe KneeboardBuilder can be used in this case, unless the structure of the kneeboard code has changed.

Thanks,

Paul

I am working on an update for Kneeboard Builder that will bring back support for positioning the Viggen kneeboard and maybe the Mig-21 kneeboard.

You can rename the 11.lua file which is the groundcrew settings to 91.lua.

Then it will be sorted after 9.lua. The sorting of the pages are by string and not number which make 1 and 11 after each other.

Path to the files as mentioned above: DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AJS37\Cockpit\scripts\KNEEBOARD\pages

And for me I set these numbers to get them in the right position of the form. A little more height then width.

default_char_height*1.05, default_char_width*1,0

Great news, AlaskanGrizzly!

Thank you, illern. I will make these changes.

We are remaking the background templates and will also revamp the text generated (and their positions).

Thank you, Nicholas. In the meantime, is there a way to move the kneeboard? In my setup, a far right position is fairly awkward.

Thanks again,

If you are using Kneeboard Builder I just put out an update that will allow you to move the Viggen kneeboard.

Excellent! Thank you. I do use Kneeboard Builder and it's a great program. I didn't know you were this close to an update.
