Darkdiz Posted November 2, 2021 Posted November 2, 2021 Not sure if its a bug or not, but EXACTLY what folder does one put a custom kneeboard into? I have been flying the A10a quite a bit, and have found some custom boards for it, but can't seem to get the folder right so I can access them in-cockpit. Same goes for the other aircraft in FC3. C:\Users\NAME\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\kneeboard\Flaming Cliffs\A-10A doesn't seem to work, nor does any combination of \A10a, Flaming Cliffs\A10a etc. Any help would be appreciated! I am aware of the Syria kneeboard bug also, but have not yet been able to get custom kneeboards for PG or Marianas to work (some folks have been successful with these maps, but not I) Talent hits a target no one else can hit, genius hits a target no one else can detect AMD Ryzen 9 3900x CPU@4.5Ghz, ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero Motherboard, 64GB Corsair Venegence DDR 3200 RAM, MSI Rtx 3060 12GB GPU, MSI Rtx 4060 8GB GPU, 40" and 37" 1920x1080 Samsung Monitor, 40" 1920x1080 Sony Monitor, 1TB Seagate Firecuda M2 PCIe 4 OS SSD, 2TB Western Digital Blue M2 PCIe 3 storage SSD, 8TB Samsung 870QVO storage SSD, Western Digital Blue 1TB storage SATA, 2x Thrustmaster T16000 (LH and RH), Warthog Joy/Throttle/TPRS, 6 x Cougar MFDs (4 with Generic VGA 800x600 displays), Track IR 5 with IR Trackstar V3, Logitech G915 Tactile Keyboard, Logitech G502 Lightspeed Mouse, Logitech G935 Headset, Next Level Racing HF8 Haptic Gaming Pad, Windows 10 Pro 64-bit Soul: None (sold long ago to the MGOMU, also known as Princess)
Mike_Romeo Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 Put them into C:\Users\NAME\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\kneeboard\A-10A The "\Flaming Cliffs" folder is not needed. This is from the DCS world manual page 109: 1 My skins
Darkdiz Posted November 3, 2021 Author Posted November 3, 2021 Hmmm, clearly an issue with the folder structure somewhere. I followed the above EXACTLY, but putting the png files into the A-10A folder without the Flaming Cliffs did not work, neither did the folder structure matching the ones in the core install (C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft). There IS a Flaming Cliffs folder there, but whether I used it or not still didn't make the custom kneeboard appear. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with FC3, as there is separate folder called Flaming Cliffs in the above folder. Clearly no standard here, this is getting frustrating Talent hits a target no one else can hit, genius hits a target no one else can detect AMD Ryzen 9 3900x CPU@4.5Ghz, ASUS ROG Crosshair VIII Dark Hero Motherboard, 64GB Corsair Venegence DDR 3200 RAM, MSI Rtx 3060 12GB GPU, MSI Rtx 4060 8GB GPU, 40" and 37" 1920x1080 Samsung Monitor, 40" 1920x1080 Sony Monitor, 1TB Seagate Firecuda M2 PCIe 4 OS SSD, 2TB Western Digital Blue M2 PCIe 3 storage SSD, 8TB Samsung 870QVO storage SSD, Western Digital Blue 1TB storage SATA, 2x Thrustmaster T16000 (LH and RH), Warthog Joy/Throttle/TPRS, 6 x Cougar MFDs (4 with Generic VGA 800x600 displays), Track IR 5 with IR Trackstar V3, Logitech G915 Tactile Keyboard, Logitech G502 Lightspeed Mouse, Logitech G935 Headset, Next Level Racing HF8 Haptic Gaming Pad, Windows 10 Pro 64-bit Soul: None (sold long ago to the MGOMU, also known as Princess)
Solution Darkdiz Posted November 3, 2021 Author Solution Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) Well, how 'bout that. Seems that the game does NOT like .PNG files for kneeboards, but is ok with .png files. Go figure. At least I can see the A-10A kneeboard now. I'll have to check on the rest of the FC3 planes though.
