airdoc Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) Hi, I 'd like to see an intuitive and easy-to-use kneeboard builder for DCS, that would be aircraft-specific. The idea is : 1. Have it as an option for each aircraft separately 2. Option for Kneeboard customisation appears in a tab relative to the aircraft (like take-off assist, etc) 3. Kneeboard is fed by the key bindings that everyone has assigned on their PC 4. Kneeboard can be customised so that each user can create lists or check lists suiting his way of flying for each aircraft (i.e. engine start checklist on one page, pretakeoff on another, touchdown and stall speeds etc) and also allows for comments, highlights or import of images. 5. Kneeboard can be saved and downloaded for others to use (assignments are automatically changed when imported according to the new user's settings, but kneeboard structure, lists and images remain the same) 6. Its purpose serves only the aircraft and not maps, mission tasks, etc, so there should be a different key for it (different than existing kneeboard key) Although this maybe difficult to make, i think that it would be very helpful, especially when people change aircraft types and have to remember a ton of key-bindings or procedures. If the ability to share is provided, the community would quickly come up with excellent custom kneeboard pages for each aircraft that could serve as quick references and tutorials. thanks Edited May 8, 2015 by airdoc The three best things in life are a good landing, a good orgasm, and a good bowel movement.

Roadrunner Posted May 8, 2015 Posted May 8, 2015 hm, you do know, that you can just drop your charts in jpg, png and some other formats in i.e.: "C:\Users\*username*\Saved Games\DCS\Kneeboard\*aircraftname*" folder? if not there, create the needed folders yourself and have a go ;) those will be usable through "k" key for normal kneeboard.

airdoc Posted May 8, 2015 Author Posted May 8, 2015 thanks Roadrunner, I 'm aware of it and have also used the existing mod. But i find that it is very cumbersome to do so, and if you make any changes in the key assignments you have to go back to it and create a new image.
