Kneeboard with field details and magnetic declination

[Viciam1]

Hi guys

How can I get all the air base detailed info in the kneeboard for persian gulf, marianas, syria. All the tower info, runway info and magnetic declination info please? 

I've seen people with this on their kneeboard so just wondering how I can do this to. Thanks

I use those often. They dont have the airfield charts with taxiways etc, but they‘re compact, have runway info + frequencies of tower and more

Thanks. How would i input the waypoints in an f16 with these written here. They seem to be in different format. Am i missing something?

you'd use the last 3 digits (the ones after the "/" instead of the ones in front of it.

Anapa would be N45 00.269 and E 037 20.869

Oh thats just great. Thanks. 

And how do I install these to ensure that the one for caucases show up only when flying in the caucauses map and the syria only in the syria map and so on and so on. Iv never installed kneeboards before.

You could add them to your own created mission and obviously only add the ones related to the map.

or you can install them per plane in the savegames folder (i‘d have to check at my pc for the correct path) and then they‘d be in the planes kneeboard no matter where you fly.

personally i use the latter method, BUT it will ignore the map connection. (Sadly there’s no such feature yet) It‘s simply all of them and i‘ll have to switch through the pages to find the correct one for the map i fly on. Plus side of this is, that it also works on any mp server and instant action mission and missions that other people have created.

the first method only works on missions you created or someone had created and included the same kneeboards into the mission file

Since scrolling through all the kneeboards first to get to your desired one is (depending on amount) tedious, i use the bookmark feature, bookmark the correct ones on startup and use the next bookmark / previous bookmark keybinds to quickly get the relevant kneeboards.

also note that the naming of the kneeboard affects their order. So lets say you wanna get to checklists first before you get to maps, you could prefix checklists with „01“ in the file name and the kneeboards with charts with „02“ and that‘ll put them in order.

if the prefix is identical, the next letter will be chosen. So 02_caucasus will always come before 02_nevada as example. If you‘d want nevada first, you could name caucasus as „03_caucasus“.

EDIT:
Kneeboard path:
C:\Users\%YOURUSERNAME%\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard\F-16C_50

If the Kneeboard folder doesnt exist, it has to be created, same with the folder per plane. I am not sure, but i think if you put the PNG files directly in the "kneeboard" folder instead of a plane specific sub-folder, it might apply to all planes. but i have not tested it and dont use it that way, so dont quote me on that
