EZBoards - Generate kneeboards (flights, comms, stpts, weather) from briefings
-
Running the latest versions. I get an error message “The required library hostfxr.dll could not be found”
Ideas?
According to the error window, this file should be in the ezboards bin folder. It is not.
Running Windows 11. -
@MnMailman `Strange as nothing changed with regard to that. Did it work with previous versions of EZBoards or is this your first time you use it on that PC?
Might be related to missing .NET runtime.
As the Readme says:
EZBoards requires .NET Core Runtime 3.1
You can download and install it from here: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/3.1 .
Tell me if it helped, otherwise might be particular to Win11 which I can’t test. -
@Logic Yes, it worked before on this pc with 11. I’ll try the runtime link anyway though; sometimes windows “updates” screw things up so you never know.
-
@Logic Re-installing both the x64 and x86 .net versions did the trick. Who knows; Windows strikes again.
Thanks for the help and great BMS addition. -
Good morning
Thx for this program, Logic
Unfortunately V10 doesn´t work for me.
Target is always to Korea, in Balcans and Israel theaters.
Only download file and extract in Tools folder.
Regards.

@Skorp
Don’t have experience with these theaters.
But the general rule of thumb should always be the same now:
Go to BMS base folder.
Search for the file “7982.dds”.
You will get multiple results. Pick the path adequate for your theater and edit EZBoards “Theaters.txt” accordingly.
Then tell the community if it worked! -
I´m sure I´m an idiot but I´ve had two tests:
“KOREA KTO”,S:\Falcon BMS 4.36\Data\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj
“Korea TvT”,S:\Falcon BMS 4.36\Data\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj
“Balkans”,S:\Falcon BMS 4.36\Data\Add-On Balkans\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObjand
S:\Falcon BMS 4.36\Data\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj
S:\Falcon BMS 4.36\Data\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObj
S:\Falcon BMS 4.36\Data\Add-On Balkans\TerrData\Objects\KoreaObjFail, always copy to Korea theater

@Skorp You must check what EZBoards says on the line
THEATER=
(Near to the top in console output). This is the string that must be matched.
(Edit: forget what i set about falcon lounge, i confounded with Baltic) -
No, there seems to be a bug somehwere indeed. Need to look into it.
Edit: Got it. Expect fix this evening.
-
Version 10.1 released (DL link in top post), that fixes the theater bug seen by @Skorp .
-
@Logic okay, thank you.
As far as I’m not an english man sometimes is difficult to understand your instructions
Regards
-
@Skorp I’m neither, so there is good reasons to believe Englishmen wouldn’t understand my instructions any better!

@Logic
Tested on Falcon Online a few minutes ago and … it works .
Thanks again. -
Works perfect!
Thank you very much, Logic!!
-
Nice feature, I will try ASAP.
Thanks for the effort and the sharing.
Cheers,

Added link to new updated package v11 for BMS 4.37 in top post.
Only difference to v10.1 is the hardcoded 4.37 registry key string.
Most of you will have found out themselves and fixed it, but I see some new users trying it, so preferred to put up a new package to spare them any hassles. -
@Logic thanks Logic! Any chance of making ezwatch a bit less CPU hungry?

Wasn’t really aware that it is, honestly.
I’m using an of-the-shelf .NET System.IO.FileSystemWatcher with nothing much to configure other than the file being watched.
So unless I reimplement that on my own, nothing much I can do.
Maybe someone has a pointer to a better implementation I could use? -
@Logic it sits and burns a constant 25% cpu on my box.

Yeah, i confirm. 13% here, but still.
I’m working on something …
