mx22 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Just to add to my post above. I've added 'Kneeboard\FA-18C_hornet' folders to my old DCS folder and now kneeboard shows custom images. Go figure... Still missing any kind of kneeboard images on pilot's body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mx22 Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) Not it's not. Did you update your DCS from a different branch to OpenBeta using the updater? This won't change the name of the folder. In that case you probably need to use the same name than your DCS installation uses. Note that a clean install of OpenBeta will install to "DCS World OpenBeta" and as such "DCS.openbeta" is the correct folder for "Saved Games". Also note that the images should be in a format recognized by DCS. I'm not sure of the restrictions. I am using 768x1024 PNG files without transparency, works like a charm. Hmmm. So when 2.5 was coming out, I chose the upgrade path - ie upgrade 1.5 to 2.5 (ED was saying it will save on a large download). After that, at some point (and I do not remember now why), I've 'upgraded' to open beta using DCS installer... I wonder if this mix up of folders will be causing a problem for me down the road. How does kneeboard looks like on pilot body for you? Here is mine showing missing textures. Edited June 3, 2018 by mx22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zabuzard Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 (edited) Where are these files available? Thanks One of the first hits when googling "DCS F-18 checklist": https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3300643/ I edited them a bit though: F-18 checklist.zip Still a lot to do. In particular the order of some items and the numbers for the carrier pattern. And I need to further narrow down whats really necessary from a cold start (red brackets). But it's a nice base to start with. Edited June 3, 2018 by Zabuza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mule Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Definitely I do not work, I tried all the options already mentioned in the post and I can not see the image on the pilot's leg It doesn't display on the pilots leg. The information is displayed when you bind a key to "kneeboard" in the controls. Very handy tool. If you need more info I will be more than happy to help. Fighter Pilot Podcast.

Sydy Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 custom kneeboard images? https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3300643/ Hi, thank you for the reference. The first vs I did I was overseas in Tanzania and did it just by reading the NATOPS and EA Manual. Of course, it is a never ending work to update and improve it. I am sure it will get better with time. All the best, Sydy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydy Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 Some help please? I can not make it work Adrian_gc, Check the update 1.1 of the Quickchecklist. The instructions were improved and it is easier to set it up. Count on me to help you. All the best, Sydy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greyman Posted June 3, 2018 Share Posted June 3, 2018 so it is possible to put the checklist onto the pilot's leg?

All the best, Sydy Hi Sydy, thanks for the Help...i followed the instructions and in principle I do not see that they work in the pilot's body. it only works on the kneeboard by pressing RShift + K. Do you see the Check list of the F-18 in the Kneeboard in the body pilot? Instructions: Extract this inside of "C:\Users"your name"\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta"...........OK Check if the files are in the "C:\Users"your name"\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard\FA-18C_hornet" folder.............OK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Growling Sidewinder Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) i would also like to know how one gets custom images on the pilots actual leg, and if its not an option and this picture is some sort of Photoshop wizardry, it would be nice if EA added such an option for us.

mx22 Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 In all honestly, I don't think this particular page will work very well in VR. Given the resolution and size of kneepad, I don't think it will be readable at a glance. And if I have to zoom on it, I might as well bring the keyboard up...

elchacal Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 (edited) So I'm scratching my head... I've created the following folder: C:\Users\USER_NAME\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard\FA-18C_hornet But still do not see custom kneeboard pages with Shift+k; only default maps. It also looks like pilot body kneeboard is not working at all. Same here! I've created the same folder structure to put the files in, but it hasn't worked.
