Set and save kneeboard shortcuts?

[Hippo]

So it's possible to set up shortcuts (bookmarks) in the kneeboard after you enter a mission, but is there any way to set the shortcuts up so that they are permanent and always appear for any mission? Either for the default kneeboard (in \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard\FA-18C_hornet) or for mission-specific kneeboards?

 

Thx.

I don't think the DCS kneeboard can do that I've tried to find the .lua file for it but what about the KneeboardBuilder mod?

[Hippo]

Well, I use the kneeboard builder utility, and if it provides this functionality, I've missed it.

Also I'm not sure if the kneeboard builder mod will pass IC in multi-player.

I'm not sure if it's of any use or not but Bailey incorporated a simple add on I made for the Hornet in Voice Attack (he may also have improved it I haven't checked)

 

Anyway with that you can page around then instruct the kneeboard to go to presets. You can set them yourself in VA it's pretty easy.

 

Be happy to help anybody who want's just the kneeboard commands or wants a little guidance PM me (I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination)

 

I never used the kneeboard until I made the script up (it was inspired by Bailey and used some of his code too) now I use it all the time to get airfield info

 

Bailey's mod is here

The mod can be easily hacked to adjust for different aircraft where different pages are in the kneeboard or if the kneeboard is left the same then the mod would work across different models.

 

Just a thought

Hi,

I am just learning and need help with the Kneeboard. I looked in the following \Saved Games\DCS.openbeta but do not have the kneeboard folder (\Kneeboard\FA-18C_hornet).

 

Any Ideas?

You have to create it yourself, using the Windows File Explorer. Mine is like this:

I see. So how do you access this data in the game (F18 cockpit)?
