KnobFS BETA build

#1 Post by Corjan »

Hi,


A BETA version of KnobFS is now available:
https://www.siminnovations.com/api4/dow ... &beta=true

KnobFS is basically the same thing as KnobXP, only now for Microsoft flight simulator, allowing you to use the Knobster while flighing in VR.
Only works with the retail version of the Knobster.

After installation, you can show the KnobFS window by clicking the knobster icon in the top icon bar from within the flight simulator.

Just received my Reverb G2 HMD yesterday so I'm looking forward to giving KnobFS a try. Definitely looking forward to being able to use my Knobster in VR.

I would be interested in an unbiased review of the RG2 if you get time. Be as critical as you can be - good and bad.

And nice work on the Knobster functionality Corjan.

Hello and thank you for this app,

The link seems to be broken. I get the error "Could not find application" when trying to download the app. I can get the file when I remove the beta parameter.

Regards

Thanks again @Corjan, currently in flight with the C172 and eventually able to try to enhance my piloting skill (v0.5 Beta)

Got KnobFS installed and did a quick test (just in 2D mode) this morning. Will take it for an extended flight in VR after work today.

I went through the settings and activated the various controls that I anticipate using regularly. I was also hoping to find a way to map KnobFS to a keystroke or a controller button to open and close the popup. Since long pressing the knobster button is used to allow changing of the controlled instrument, perhaps a double-click of the button could open/close the KnobFS window (or at least expand/collapse it)?
