Interactive kneeboard for aircraft settings


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

There's a discussion about weapon settings, rocket interval etc. in another thread on the forums and it seems IFE have encountered some difficulties figuring out how DCS works in specific fields, but it's just a whishlist topic, so no need to panic, just a wish.

It would be great if one day MB-339 got an "interactive" kneeboard page (the type of page that is driven by a Lua file) for setting up weapon parameters and maybe also equipment. You're on the ground, engine off, press LAlt-LShift-Something and you change rocket interval and such. So far it's been possible through Mission Editor only, haven't tried it yet, but saw it in ME and the manual.
Quite a few modules in DCS have such interactive kneeboards - Viggen, Harrier, some other planes, and it's a very cool feature.

It would be nice if this included an aircraft weight/approach speed calculator. Granted, it is a simple aircraft, but keeping track of weights of gun pods full/empty, rocket pods full/empty, converting MK-8x to kilograms, weapons without weights in their names like; Belouga etc., ends up being a lot. Do you need to do any of that to fly DCS, Nope. But if it were in the kneeboard I'd reference it.
