Just wanted to check in and let you guys know that FSKneeboard has been updated to v1.2.0 recently.
The latest release contains a major feature update and includes:
an all new autosave feature to recover and continue your flights from system instabilities and Flight Simulator crashes (*)
dynamic resolution scaling and stretching for users with high-resolution monitors (which is very important for a good VR experience, see below-linked video 4:14)
a helicopter icon for you chopper pilots out there
automatic update checker
and much more…
If that sounds interesting to you, please consider yourselves invited to check out the feature showcase video on my YouTube account:
P.S.: Thanks to all of you guys who are already supporting my work! Your feedback has been incredible; be it suggestions for improvement or simply encouraging and kind words! You guys rock!!!
It’s a very good tool, but I find that it can’t be used with multiple toolbars, such as bushtalk, simbrief panel, ebag, fsmp, etc. can I find a way to fix the compatibility problem, so that I don’t have to trade around
Just make sure to remove all previous versions of FSKneeboard. The server AND (in this case even more important) the ingame panel from your community folder. Then install the new version. I tried it with bushtalk and it works like a charm
added a configurable hotkey to toggle the ingame panel’s visibility from your keyboard and HOTAS (requires mapping of keyboard macros to your HOTAS buttons)
MAJOR CHANGES:
added access Flight Simulator’s ingame flightplan from FSKneeboard and load it onto your kneeboard’s map (*)
added autoremoval for waypoints (except the last one) when getting within an 0.5 NM range (*)
added a wind direction and velocity indicator
MINOR CHANGES:
improved overview, performance and stability of the waypoints feature by disabling visibility of info-flags of individual waypoints (except the last one) by default. Individual info-flags can be toggled by clicking on the particular waypoint.
added option --quietshutdown to prevent FSKneeboard from showing a Press ENTER to continue... prompt after disconnecting from MSFS
Thanks for your support, @tempestornado23 ! Glad to hear that you enjoy the mod Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, preferably via email or, better yet, by joining our community discord! Looking forward to hearing from you Cheers, chris
Hi @BenjVV7863 ! Good question. Yes, that is possible! What you want to do is load or crate a flightplan on the world-map menu of MSFS and then start the flight. Once in the cockpit, open the FSKneeboard panel and hit the load-flightplan-icon in the bottom left corner of the panel (the little cloud-icon). That will load the active flightplan into MSFS and your all set
Thanks, it’s working, so great
i’d like to be able to write (like the notepad) but ON the chart, to complete the navlog during VFR flight like for example IRL
it should be nice to have a map scale on the map. 1:250.000 1:500.000 etc just to have a reference even if it s not a true scale.
Hi, being a bit of a PC noob, thought I’d give this a try but I can’t find it anywhere in my menu when about to start a flight…how do you set it up ? I’ve put the zipped files in my community folder ( is that correct ) ? Running something called exe. in the background but to no avail…this is my first ever PC so not sure what to do actually
Thank you for the awesome addition! However, I cannot seem to move the panel in vr mode? I can resize it, but it always has the same plane and vector in relation to the camera and I cannot move it in the same way as the other panels?
