But it's hard to read an Ipad when wearing a VR headset....

 

I think the number of ipad users vastly outnumbers the number of oculus rift users. For screenshot-heavy presentations, a kneeboard-like format is highly impractical. Kneeboards are better used for checklists. You are free to do your own. Reformatting 1000+ pages is very time-consuming... Unless there is a huge demand for it (and I don't think there is to be quite honest), I would rather let the community create their own kneeboards.

You might try Kneeboard Builder (windows app) I believe it allows you to choose the geometry of your kneeboard, which would allow you to make a kneeboard in landscape format.

Way not to use my Kneeboard Checklist mod :)

"Chuck", a marvellous guide! Where were you in 2012 when I started my spitfire sim planning? :P

 

Seriously though, it's concise, comprehensive, and factual - ED should give you the job of producing their official tutorials.

I was really struggling landing the Spit - this guide was a huge help for me in setting up my landings properly, and now am able to get the plane down without tearing it all up.

 

Many thanks for the excellent guide Chuck!

Chuck's guides for dcs

 

Chuck. love your videos. I am a longtime flight sim fan and agree with you the manual are huge. I have attempted to find you study guides for DCS modules but to no avail. Can you help me.

I appreciate your work.

The link to the Spitfire guide is here in the first post: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-uSpZROuEd3Y1dhWFhKSVpPbms

 

Just click on it, click on download, and you'll be able to save the pdf file wherever you want on your computer to see it directly or print it.

 

The other guides I do are located here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=135765

First off, please don't go spreading around my email address. This is from a mistake I made when creating this account, and apparently it can't be fixed, so I don't post very often for this reason.

 

Charly_Owl, even though I got the hang of the Spitfire near completely on my own, I did (of coarse) have some flaws, and this guide helped me a lot, so thank you.

BUT, I noticed on the LAST page of the guide there was a screenshot of the DCS menu with the Spitfire wallpaper. What comes next made me cough on my expresso: what took me by surprise was an aircraft icon on the bottom of the menu. I look, and I see a P-40F! :shocking:

 

What's the story here? How do you have an aircraft that hasn't even gotten close to being released yet?? Do you have the any other aircraft as well, such as the P-40, F/A-18, etc? I have GOTTA know!

P-51 Mustang greatness!

I have bundled my "Chuck's library" and made it available. Link over here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3146444&postcount=263

 

I'll probably be collecting Chuck's guides which others have made available this weekend, because it would be such a shame if his fantastic and valuable guides somehow disappeared.
