Wayc00lio Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how I can open the manual in the kneeboard?

Rudel_chw Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 (edited) I do it in two stages: a) The PDF manuals of DCS have page borders much too wide, so I print new PDFs with the margins cropped ... this is so the kneeboard images end up with larger text size. b) Second, I use this utility to generate the custom kneeboard for each plane: http://www.dcskneeboardbuilder.com/ This is how it looks like on the cabin: Cheers Edited December 10, 2016 by Rudel_chw For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tdyrsmid Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I've downloaded the kneeboard builder, but every time I try to launch the app, it immediately crashes. I'm running Win 10 fully up to date. Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firmek Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Just use any of the free online pdf to png conventers. PNG is better as JPEG is less suitable for text. Next copy selected images to the "C:\Users\@YourUserName\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard\@ModuleName" for 1.5.x or "DCS.openalhpa" for 2.0.

You can make this change permanent in the application icon's properties.

firmek Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 On second thought - I have to admit that the Kneeboard builder is great. I've just got it installed. Most of the things that it does could be done manually but the application really saves time and provides an easy to use, single panel to manage all of the kneebords. I've downloaded the kneeboard builder, but every time I try to launch the app, it immediately crashes. I'm running Win 10 fully up to date. Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated1 I would not run any app as Administrator as it really should not be required. Check if you have MS .Net 4.5 installed as the application requires it.
