[RESOLVED] Open kneeboard in SimDirector

Post by Raynald1 »

I am trying to open the kneeboard at the end of a flight in a mission created in SimDirector.
The student's flight results show up on the kneeboard in the Mission Tab when I press Shift + F10.
Is there a way in SimDirector to open the kneeboard using a SimDirector catalog item?
I tried script action, PanelWindow, UIPanelObject,UIPanelWindow without success.
I tried searches for kneeboard and kb_ without success.

Hi Ray,

There is a KNEEBOARD_VIEW key event that can be used to toggle the kneeboard. You should be able to trigger this event in a Script Action or a Set Property Action.

Thanks for the quick reply!
I could not find KNEEBOARD_VIEW in SetPropertyAction.
How would you write it in ScriptAction?

Thanks

Hi Ray,

The Script Action can accept both RPN and lua based scripting. Here is an example using RPN:

Code: Select all

(>K:KNEEBOARD_VIEW)
The Learning Center has a "Scenario Scripting" article that should provide more details regarding both scripting languages.
