VRK - a virtual reality enabled kneeboard with touch and ink support

Is there any chance for a 'Title Bar' type of area that would remain visible regardless of tab selection for items such as Callsign, Freqs, NAV Info etc? Perhaps selectable per kneepad (L/R) and/or visibilty. Thanks for a game changing app. -
reported Color/Balance change from neutral to cold (blue)
Griffon345 replied to dggoofy's topic in General Bugs
Very jarring at night. Turned the city lights orange from yellow. Might be why I've not noticed it before. Only started night flights recently. I very odd glitch. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk -

Saw this as well. In NTTR at night, from cool to neutral back to cool again. Thought it was Lead's taxi light. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk -
reported earlier ASE/NIRD Arc Too Thin?

Can you point me towards this report? Been searching but cannot find it. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk -

Griffon345 replied to Griffon345's topic in Bugs and Problems
Many thanks. Searched but not enough I guess. -
Compare the images attached. I find the ASE target range arc very thin. It would appear it needs to be larger according to image 1 although the authenticity of this image is debatable. Bottom line is I finds it hard to make out even in 2D.

F/A-18C MOD for Left DDI "ADV-" line Blanking out the whole row

Many thanks fella. Realistic or not, it makes no sense to display if no advisories are active. Mandatory mod for me. -
Skins not showing mapping and shading of fasteners and panels GIMP
Griffon345 replied to Griffon345's topic in SA342
Apologies for the long turn around as I've been wrestling with the project since. Thanks for the steer. I tried this and it worked to an extent but still wasn't to my liking as some of the layers upon other layers hid detail (fasteners and relief shading). I've installed a set of scripts that replicates the 'filters' in Krita (and I guess in photoshop) as this seems to be the disconnect between the different apps. It's easier (a bit). I'll wrestle further as I've gotten no answers from Polychop on request for the rest of the files or for an updated set. Also did you get the SA342_Camou_ADT_8 file to open? Mine is corrupt. Next will be picking apart the single layer files not included in the package! Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk -
My bad ED: Deactivate all mods. Clean, repair, update. It works. It appears it was the shader mod I had in place. Deactivate this and it works, activate and it breaks. Just glad it's sorted. Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk

That, good sir is the gold I'm looking for. I'll try this and get back. Thanks! Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk -
Problem mentioned before but my issue is opening the .psd files in GIMP, not older Photoshop: Fig 1: GIMP left/Krita right. Note the lack of pseudo 3d shading in the GIMP example. These are virgin untouched .psd files from ED forums. The layers are present as shown isolated in GIMP in Fig 2 but the way GIMP handles these vs Krita/PhotoShop must be different as they do not show for GIMP (I'm by no means a boffin with any of these software packages). The end result once exported to DCS is shown, in game for comparison in Fig 3. I'm slowly muddling my way through finding filters that work in GIMP for a similar effect but the going is slow due to my grave lack of expertise. And very painful. I someone would share their converted .XCF files it would be much appreciated.

Nice skin. I'd love to get hold of these as well but it looks like he didn't build these for the package. I'm trying to find SA342_Camou_ADT_8.psd as this appears to be corrupt in the package as well. As far as the rest are concerned, looks like we're stuck with hacking the .dds files.

Skins not showing mapping and shading of fasteners and panels GIMP

It's all about the diffuse layer/s: comparative example shown Below:- Fig 1: GIMP left/Krita right. Note the lack of pseudo 3d shading in the GIMP example. These are virgin untouched .psd files from ED forums. The layers are present as shown isolated in GIMP in Fig 2 but the way GIMP handles these vs Krita/PhotoShop must be different as they do not show for GIMP (I'm by no means a boffin with any of these software packages). The end result once exported to DCS is shown, in game for comparison in Fig 3. I'm slowly muddling my way through finding filters that work in GIMP for a similar effect but the going is slow due to my grave lack of expertise. And very painful. Any help with this would be appreciated. I'm guessing you use PS for your skinning? -

Looks like no one skins this helo any longer? Or am I asking the wrong questions in the wrong place? Sent from my SM-G975F using Tapatalk -
Really enjoying this little helo and am trying my hand at skinning it for a South African and UK bush scheme. I use GIMP and when importing the skin psd files the bump mapping and shading of panels and fasteners etc are missing. If anyone has the time and are willing I'd appreciate a quick (if there is such a thing) steer on how to show these from the template in the user files. Failing this, if it's that's a huge mission would anyone be willing to share copies of the virgin files in xcf format as many have obviously managed to have the above shown correctly. Including the SA342_Camou_ADT_8.
