Lobo LXII Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 Just a little something I put together from Wags last mini-update. I got the idea from using VAAF Gizmo's kneeboards found in Mods downloads section. Just drop the .dds into your DCS WorldXXX/Bazar/temptexture folder and your set! Hope you can use it :joystick: :)AGM-65F.zip [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Alphamale Posted December 5, 2018 Posted December 5, 2018 It'd be nice having something like that for Mission Comms Frequencies and so forth instead of the pop-up page that takes up nearly a third of the screen

Lobo LXII Posted December 5, 2018 Author Posted December 5, 2018 Not Hard to do...or I couldn't have :P From the read me, "How to install: Place in DCS WorldXXX/Bazar/temptexture You can make your own : - It must be square 512 X 512 or 1024 X1024 or 2048 X 2048 etc. - It must be saved as .DDS - It must be named : pilot_f18_fp_kneeboard" I just used my notepad. I picked a font I liked,then just typed it out. I then used the windows snipping tool and saved it as a .png. Next I opened that in photo shop and saved it as a .dds. that's all there is to it!

Lobo LXII Posted December 7, 2018 Author Posted December 7, 2018 Cool ! I was going to suggest looking into GIMP. It's free. I still have it loaded,so I checked and it works with .dds as well. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
