Rudel_chw Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 (edited) But if there's a bug or something not working with a new model, I would be hard pressed to say anything encouraging about the prospects of getting a resolution. This software was provided for free by its author six years ago, it is understandable if he no longer has time to dedicate to it. At least he still keeps his webpage up and the software has been updated a lot of times, to the point that it still works on the current DCS ... and it recognized my A-10C II with no problem at all: :thumbup: Edited October 3, 2020 by Rudel_chw For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to post Share on other sites
Home Fries Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 In 1.8.0.4, when I try to select a new Kneeboard location using profile selection, I get the dialog box saying Value cannot be null. Parameter name: path. I have run as administrator, I've tried replacing the files, and I can't clear the error regardless of which profile I select. Any ideas for a workaround?

EDIT: Win 10 with DCS 2.5.6.55960 I have the same problem so I emailed the developer. He got back with me and said the following: It appears that the problem may be having flaming cliffs installed together with the standalone flaming cliffs planes; creating a duplicate loop in Kneeboard Builder that makes it unresponsive. I’m working on figuring out a fix for it. I only have Su-33 installed, so I tried uninstalling that but it didn't help. Hoping for an update to fix this but I understand the software is old and the developer probably doesn't have time to dedicate any longer.

DisguisedGerbil Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I have used Kneeboard Builder to reposition and resize kneeboards successfully so far, but I’m having problems with F16 Viper. If I start up Kneeboard Builder, and then jump in to the cockpit, I miss most of my cockpit textures. Running a repair fixes that. I’ve seen some posts others having the same issue, but not really a fix for that. Any pointers how to resolve? Link to post Share on other sites

I have FC3 and got the Su-33 standalone with the Supercarrier, but I have never installed the Su-33 standalone. I think there may be something else at work as well. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to post Share on other sites

nick_thain Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 Same error here, same crash/hang. Shame, as the main reason I'm using this is to reposition the kneeboard due to my multimonitor setup (by default it appears inside one of my external DDIs). KBB is also not detecting my 3rd party mod aircraft, such as A-4E. Link to post Share on other sites

Many thanks for any help or tips Phil The RIO kneeboard is the same as the pilot kneeboard, and I don't have trouble with either station. Do you use custom bindings to bring up your kneeboard? If so, make sure you map them for both pilot and RIO. -Home Fries My DCS Files and Skins My DCS TARGET Profile for Cougar or Warthog and MFDs F-14B LANTIRN Guide Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe this update is the cause of my problem: "Upgrade cockpit kneeboard. Mouse drag and resize. Added clickable buttons for navigation and making bookmarks. Each new bookmark - new color. Route UI buttons callbacks to track." Yes is it looks like they made some major upgrades to the in-game kneeboard which will likely render a portion of Kneeboard Builder obsolete. I'll have to put out a new update to Kneeboard Builder to compensate for the changes. I haven't had a chance to look at what has changed yet so I don't have a time frame on when you can expect a Kneeboard Builder update. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Jalava Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Currently kneeboard builder doesn't seem to be able to move all elements of kneeboard to correct position. My main use for kneeboard builder is mainly to reposition the kneeboard builder as it with extra screen for MFDs, kneeboard will render out of view. Link to post Share on other sites
