Custom Kneeboards aren't found in kneeboard\Mig-21Bis (+fix)

Hello LN guys,

I was trying add a custom page to the kneeboard earlier and couldn't figure out why the Mig21 wouldn't accept custom kneeboard pages via the aircraft sub folder like all the other mods, ie under this folder structure:

[username]\SavedGames\DCS\Kneeboard\Mig-21Bis\

Turns out the init.lua is missing the correct lookup, and only ever looks in \Kneeboard and not any of the subfolders.

To fix:

Edit init.lua located at:

...\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\MiG-21BIS\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD\indicator\init.lua

and add the following at line 75:

local unit_name = get_aircraft_type()
if unit_name ~= nil then
   scan_path(lfs.writedir().."KNEEBOARD/"..unit_name) --look in subfolder of SavedGames/DCS/Kneeboard/
end

(Nb, code was modifed from the original ED file in DCS World\Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD\indicator\init.lua

I would have prefered an inline condition, but I'm not sure you can do those with lua)

Nice and easy fix that one :)

Hello Buzzles,

Nice Fix...

Leatherneck Simulations Devs, you can take the fix?

Thanks Buzzles!

Your fix works perfect!

LN should add it so we won't need a mod for such thing.:thumbup:

@LN chaps.

I hate to nag, but as DCS is going to see some patches soon for all the new modules, could we expect things like this and other bug fixes/tweaks to be included?

Going to bump this as it's still broken in the 1.5 Open Beta.

Obviously a minor thing, but it would be nice to be consistant with every other module.

Just spotted this fix has been officially included in the DCS 1.5 open beta hotfix 2.

Thanks for listening LN, it's small but appreciated :)
