Extension “DKS”

Digital Kneeboard Simulator is a great community solution that started as a tool to create kneeboards but has a ton more features today. You can also view live telemetry data from your DCS servers with it. DCSServerBot adds support for this awesome tool by hooking into the tacview extension and by giving it access to the REST-API.

[!NOTE] DKS needs Tacview being enabled on your instance to work.

Configuration

The DKS extension does not need any configuration, but you need to enable the Tacview extension for it to work. Please refer to the Tacview configuration on how to do so and how to enable real-time telemetry.

After that, you can enable it by enabling the extenion with /extension enable or manually adding it to your nodes.yaml like so:

# config/nodes.yaml
MyNode:
  # ...
  instances:
    DCS.dcs_serverrelease:
      extensions:
        Tacview:
          # ... Tacview needs to be configured before DKS
        DKS:
          enabled: true
          autoupdate: true  # enable autoupdate (default: false)
