Knobster airplug not working and showing up in sim toolbar?

#1 Post by theskyisthelimit99 »

Anyone else using knobster… i updated to 4.1 and the airplugin folder is put in community however it doesnt show up in the toolbar in sim. (MSFS, knobfs)

I went back to 4.0 same issue.

i checked the log file in programdata and i only see the following:

17-10-2023 23:22:16.281 INFO Main: Starting plugin (4.1.0 )...
17-10-2023 23:22:16.281 INFO Main: Done initializing!
17-10-2023 23:22:16.281 INFO Main: Serving forever...


Any thoughts

However if you install KnobFS with the link above, it installs an airplugin folder in addition to the knobfs folder in your community folder.
And this airplugin folder seems to be needed as knobster refused to work for me after deleting it.

No one mentioned to delete this folder, additionally, this is not the same thing than the FS Plugin itself

Just mentioned it as Ralph above said "Knobster Air Plugin? The Knobster does not use this plugin, I'm not really sure what you mean..."
I once deleted it as I thought it was another addon I installed before and didn't use anymore.

The Knobster is a direct plugin install into the MSFS folders, and is not using the Sim Innovations FS Plugin which is a dedicated plugin which allow communication from Air Manager and Air Player

The Knobster is this and sufficient by itself after install : https://siminnovations.com/wiki/index.p ... S#Download

The Sim Innovations FS Plugin used by Air Manager and Air Player to communicate with the sim is this : https://siminnovations.com/wiki/index.p ... stallation

There's no complication to find here and don't try to mix them up in mind ;-)
