Kneeboard Viewer 10 (KV10) allows the user to open from one to ten ‘on-top-windows’ to view programs of choice, such as a web page like SkyVector, or pdf reader, or LittleNavmap, etc., in ‘kneeboard windows’ on top of MSFS (or FSX/P3D) while flying. The KV10 windows can be resized and moved (including to another monitor) and will stay visible on top of MSFS (or most any other application) or may be toggled on and off (shown or hidden) by user selectable keys (or key combinations). A multi-window option also allows any combination of multiple windows to be controlled by a single key. So you can, for example, have all windows hide or show together, or have some windows hide when others show and vice versa, with a single key stroke. KV10 works in window or full screen mode. Download includes a KV10 Manual.
To install KV10 simply unzip the KV10 zip file and put KV10.exe and the KV10Settings.ini file in the SAME directory. You can then pin KV10.exe to the task bar or send a shortcut to the desktop for easy start up access.

KV10 does everything its supposed to do, except, save the changes made for each selection.
I can assign a webpage to each button, they all work properly while running FSX.
However, when I exit; there is nothing assigned to the button when next I open KV10.
Any suggestions?
Other than the save issue, it is a wonderful addition to FSX flying, I mostly open SkyVectors for one stop with charts, freqs. and approach plates.

I understand your point and have looked into doing that, but have not come up with how to make it happen.
When a window is created it is assigned a unique 'handle' (name) by the operating system. Then when you assign a control key to hide and show that window, that window's handle is assigned to that key, and the key controls the window through its handle or name. The problem is, each time the window is initially created, it gets a new handle from the operating system, so just saving the handle of a window between sim sessions doesn't work.
Thanks for you kind comments, appreciated!

Any chance of making a version for VR?

No, I have no plans for VR because I don't have any VR equipment, so no way to run tests, etc. Sorry.

Hi I must be a bit dumb, after reading through install instructions on how to assign web pages, apps ets to hot key I see nothing regarding this. Actually from a 1st time user perspective I am utterly confused

Suppose you want to pop up and hide your web browser using KV10. The steps would be:
1. Run the sim
2. Open the web browser window on top of the sim to the desired page and resize it to some convenient size.
3. Start KV10, you should see the large Window Selection box like on the top of Page 3 in the documentation with all the window selection buttons (I can't seem to paste it here).
4. Click on the SelectWin1 button (the window selection box will temporarily close), and then after making sure the web browser window has ‘focus’ (is active, by clicking on it) push the KV10 WindowSelectKey (the Shift+Spacebar key combination assuming you are using the default Kv10Settings.ini file provided with KV10). You will then see a small window assigned message box like on the bottom of page 3 in the documentation. You can click OK or just wait and the box will close and the large Window Selection box should reopen. If you are done selecting windows click on the " – " to minimize the Window Selection Box to the Win10 Taskbar.
5. You should now be able to hide and popup the web browser using the Ctrl+1 key combination, again assuming you are using the default KV10 Settings.ini file.
6. To assign additional windows you repeat the above process. Note you always use the same key combination (Ctrl+Spacebar in the default case) to make a KV10 assignment, but the key or key combination which will then control that window depends on the key assignments in the KV10Settings.ini file. If using the default KV10Settings.ini file, Ctrl+1 controls popup selection 1, Ctrl+2 controls popup selection 2, etc. See the documentation.
Hope this has helped you. Let me know how it goes.
