Kneeboard

[WinOrLose]

I'm having trouble with the kneeboard, I have created a folder called AJS37 in my saved games folder (where I have a couple for other planes) but the items I have put in there are not appearing in game.

 

Any suggestions as to what I could be doing wrong?

 

Thanks.

the path is /saved games/dcs/Kneeboard/AJS37/ and the files should be JPG or PNG, not PDF.

I find they work best in .png format.

I tend to create the KBs using PowerPoint in portrait mode, the use Sniptool to take a “snip” of the area that I want, before saving in PNG, and then manually editing the file format to lowercase .png

Cheers guys - I’ll try those. 
 

thanks.

That did the trick - it didn’t like PDF.

You can also use this Utility to manage your kneeboards and convert from PDF to JPG:
