However it looks like your gone now, you get the KnobXP window and can now start using it, just ensure Air Manager is not running at the same time.
  • Outer knob : change the value for the current active mode
  • Long Press on the center button of the Knobster : activate the browsing of the available modes, turning the mode in green, then use either outer or inner knob. Quick press return to value change, turning back to blue
  • Quick press when in value change : perform additional action in the sim like STBY to ACTIVE transfer
I've been using it all afternoon. Works great now that I know how to remove and add controls. Except I just cannot get that settings window to appear.

It could be that there's a potential syntax error in one file, so try to exit X-plane, then move the existing KnobXP folder outside the plugins folders and install again from the v1.2 zip source

I've been through that exercise 3 times, but each time I used the same 1.2 file I downloaded 2 years ago....at first I thought it was last year I downloaded it...but I misread the year.
So here is a thought. I think I will download a new file from the siminnovations web site and try that. Maybe some corruption on the 2 year old .zip file I used.

Addendum: That's all it was. Used the new downloaded file and all is right with the world. Probably some errant byte somewhere.
Thanks for all the help.
