Nooch Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Recently found this very useful tool (especially in VR) allowing us to make a notepad pop up in the cockpit and write anything down. All I wish it had is the ability to draw using the mouse. When having a VR headset on, it's hard to see what we are typing on the keyboard so I wish we could use the mouse instead.

sgilewicz Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 Ok, It's installed and comes and I'm able to type in the window but unable to transfer the text to the parameter of interest. For example: I type in 5000 into the mod scratchpad widow. I then open the DSMS page, open the GBU-12 profile and click on the Min Alt OSB. Nothing happens. Am I missing something? Would love to use this mod since getting data into the various Nav and Weapons pages can get cumbersome especially in flight. I am not using VR just everyday 2D. Thanks for any help! Radial Madness

It's not supposed to do that. Consider it a note book. You can go to F10 map, jot down coordinates in scratchpad go back to the cockpit and enter them. But you have to enter them manually like a reallife pilot does.
sgilewicz Posted September 14, 2019 Posted September 14, 2019 OK claw. Thanks for the explanation. I was looking for an easy way to type in the UFC scratchpad but I'll live! Thanks again. Radial Madness
euthyphro Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 (edited) Copied both files (lua and dlg), installed both into saved game folders. It worked until I changed the font size in the LUA file. Since I did that it wont work AT ALL... I have since deleted the files, copied and pasted fresh ones literally a dozen times now, tried it on DCS Beta, used notepad ++, repaired DCS, reinstalled DCS, and it still does not work... I find it strange how it was working just fine until I opened the one file (deleted and replaced by original file multiple times now) just to change the font size setting. I suspect that Windows is somehow to blame for this, probably not reading the extensions properly since opening them or something. However, I even made sure that lua and dlg files are opened from notepad by default. I am very confused on what is going on here, have been racking my brain for hours now. Is there something wrong with the registry or something??? Do I need a clean install of windows!!!! Edited July 3, 2020 by euthyphro

ollk22 Posted November 12, 2022 Posted November 12, 2022 Hey folks, scratchpad has stopped working for me in 2.7. It still loads up, but in the map I tick the box then press the button and nothing is saved. Tried re-installing the files. Anyone else had this issue?
Chump Posted November 13, 2022 Posted November 13, 2022 @ollk22 I just tested it and it is working for me in 2.8. It should work in 2.7 also. Make sure that you have the latest version @ https://github.com/rkusa/dcs-scratchpad/releases/tag/0.6.1
Rongor Posted November 20, 2022 Posted November 20, 2022 0.61 changelog shows update for M-2000 to match precision but actually it cuts off precision. Scratchpad coords taken in the M-2000 are now DD°MM.M yet we need DD°MM.MMM The display of the M-2000 nav sys shows DD°MM.M yet it indeed is fed with DD°MM.MMM Any idea how to switch off Scratchpad's attempts to match coords with the module we fly that moment?
Chump Posted November 20, 2022 Posted November 20, 2022 Change the following line in scratchpad-hook.lua elseif ac == "M-2000C" then return {DDM = {precision = 1, lonDegreesWidth = 3}} to elseif ac == "M-2000C" then return {DDM = {lonDegreesWidth = 3}} This will default back to DD°MM.MMM (three places of precision)

Jackdesert Posted November 27, 2022 Posted November 27, 2022 Did that fix work for you? I also have the same issue.
Chump Posted November 27, 2022 Posted November 27, 2022 Please attach your dcs.log if it isn't working and we can see if any errors stand out.

Chump Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 The first line is in DMS. The second line is in DDM. The third is in MGRS. The F-18 has all three options: if ac == "FA-18C_hornet" then return {DMS = true, DDM = {precision = 4}, MGRS = true} @Harlikwin Do you not see all of the different formats on your side?
