Blanks KnobFS screen - missing mode listing?

#1 Post by dhhume »

Hello;
I've used KnobFS for a few weeks but didn't dive into it much. Over the last 10 days I've encountered a problem. KnobFS opens, MSFS seems to recognize it and displays it within the top-of-page menu in VR. When I click KnobFS the panel opens but is empty, missing both the mode listings and the settings icon on the left to allow adding or modifying modes. I've tried reinstalling the software, but during installation I get an exception message shown here.

In addition here's a screen capture of the community folder in msfs. It looks like the software is installed but perhaps a file(or several) is missing.

Anyone else encountering anything similar? And...how to proceed, if a reinstall generates this exception. I'd appreciate any help - hope it's a simple fix.

Thanks,
Dave

In any case, ensure AM is not launched before MSFS

I understand. In VR I don't use Air Manager, but thanks.

Solved, and, as usual, operator error.

I found two KnobFS installs, in different directories, with conflicting procedure call cancelling out. Memory lapse(absence), for sure. One more thing to worry about! :)

same error for me.
It worked yesterday, but everything is blank today.
I don't see how I could have an extra installation since yesterday, but I could check.
Where would I look?
