Mule Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Thanks for the heads up. Cheers! Fighter Pilot Podcast.
fitness88 Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 (edited) Can font size be changed using the Config/ScratchpadConfig.lua`? Edit: shift-ctrl x will turn it on/off...Also can the scratchpad be turned on/off ingame? Edited January 8, 2019 by fitness88
Strikeeagle345 Posted January 8, 2019 Posted January 8, 2019 Away atm. How does it work? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Small transparent window you can move around the screen. You can click into it and type anything (while in F10 you can type coordinates) you can copy paste from the mission briefing into this pad hot key to show and hide it on the fly.

Blech Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 Hi, :thumbup: Thanks to Ruska Saw a link for this mod today morning in the German-Forum Test : Text remains after Quit / Start of DCS Working in MP Scrolling Would be fantastic with an option to "LOAD" text-files, e.g. Checklists -

I don't think It is possible to select and copy the radio text in dcs R7-5800X3D 64GB RTX-4090 LG-38GN950 N/A Realsimulator FFSB MKII Ultra, VKB Stecs Max, Winwing F-16EX Throttle, Winwing Orion (Skywalker) Pedals, Razer Tartarus V2 SpeedMaster Flight Seat, JetSeat
fargo007 Posted January 9, 2019 Posted January 9, 2019 This is an excellent mod and one I've been subconsciously wishing for. SOOOO much easier than trying to come out of VR and write stuff down. I am also inquiring about changing font size. I'd like to go bigger if possible. Have fun. Don't suck. Kill bad guys. https://discord.gg/blacksharkden/
