Ah great that it's on the to do list as it's such an awesome mod. Being a VR flyer I make my own custom kneeboards covering various procedures and stupidly I went ahead and made the kneeboards without 1st checking that it was working in the plane or not. (I just assumed it was). These are actual size and I make them as 550x800 jpegs but if you'd still like them I could always upload them to my dropbox.

This truly is a great mod,. Could you please help me out with a problem regards to Kneeboards. I've created my own kneeboards as well as having downloaded others and unlike other modules, they are not showing up ingame. (curiously enough the only kneeboard page showing up ingame is page 102 of the manual, no other pages). I've put the png files into my Saved Games/DCS/Kneeboard folder and in there I've created a folder called MB-339PAN and dropped the png files (550x800 like my others) in there as per instructions. Other kneeboards show fine but not the MB339. I've also tried jpeg variations and put them directly into the Saved Games/DCS/Kneeboard folder (not in a specific aircraft folder to see if the kneeboards show up in all other modules which they do). I've also tried dropping them into Saved Games/DCS/Mods/aircraft/MB-339PAN/Cockpit/KNEEBOARD/pages but again they don't show. Any help would be wonderful. I'll send an example of one of my kneeboard pages. Thank you in advance. Baz

Hi thanks for your reply. I've been playing both DCS & IL-2 for years and do realise that they are both different in approach. I don't wish to add video in a mission ... just images. I would find it staggering to know that this couldn't be done, given that you have access to a kneeboard etc. All I wish to be able to do is create a personal interactive training video using the plates I've created & it was my idea to share my work to help other VR users in a realtime scenario. I get that the cockpit is clickable. I'm not trying to force any approach to anywhere as my interactive training missions for Il-2 wasn't really an 'IL-2' way. Re your suggestion of loading up a training mission, thank you I will certainly try that but really wanted something so much more and thought that images in the mission environment were achievable but thank you for your info and time in replying

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l10QsKHE7cE&feature=youtu.be A short video example. Ideally created to help the VR user & with the detailed start up sequences in DCs, these interactive realtime training scenarios would come in very handy indeed imo. Any help would be greatly welcomed.

Here's a couple of examples. example01.jpg is a plate taken from my DCS Harrier startup project. example02.jpg is a screenshot from one of my interactive training missions from the IL-2 mission editor. I'll try and upload an example video to better explain what I mean.

Hi. As the title asks. How do I go about incorporating user jpegs into a mission via mission editor? With the IL-2 Great Battles user missions I created some VR interactive training missions that involved many custom jpeg & mp3s at given times & triggers etc. Is this going to be achievable with the DCS mission editor. It's my goal to create an interactive engine start training flight etc which would need jpegs (1200x720)at given times & accompanied with simple mp3's. Any help, advice or reference material would be greatly appreciated. :thumbup:
