Dugulus Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I have searched and couldn’t find anything in this topic, so my question: When having the pilot body on in the F18, the knee board that shows on the left knee is great. But can I add more information like AAR refueling TACAN frequencies, JTAC, or other airport information relevant to the flight? It would be nice to be able to have more information than just the carrier info. And perhaps be able to have multiple pages as well on the knee board. Including checklists. I have tried the knee board that can be brought up on screen and edited that one, however, in VR, the one on the pilot’s knee is more engaging and “realistic.” Thanks!

Bunny Clark Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 The buttons to change kneeboards work for both the pop-up kneeboards and the leg-mounted kneeboards (it should be "[" and "]" by default, I think).

Dugulus Posted July 16, 2022 Author Share Posted July 16, 2022 I never tried pressing the [ or ] with the pilot body knee board. In VR it’s not really something I think most people would want to do. Would be nice if the VR pointer would be able to change the pages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vstolmech513 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 I use a modifier on my flight stick to allow me to effectively double the number of buttons. I use the paddle switch and DMS FWD to bring up the kneeboard and then paddle switch and DMS left and right to cycle the kneeboard pages forward and backwards. I also use the paddle switch and TMS FWD and AFT for my zoom in and out slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stivi Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Hello. I have a problem, the kneeboard on my knee doesn't show. I changed files, repaired, etc. and it still doesn't show up in any painting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob10 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Not sure when your picture is from (guessing it was from pre-new pilot model), but as Foka said it got broken when ED did a pilot model update and they are still working on making it show again (at least I don't recall seeing anything in patch notes about it being fixed).

If you´re using a cockpit liverie, or, using the CJS mod add this line to the description.lua (in the case of CJS mod add the line to the .lua file of the mod): {"Pilot_F18_FP_Map", 0, "mfd3", true}; 1 - "Don't be John Wayne in the Break if you´re going to be Jerry Lewis on the Ball".

Solution Foka Posted February 28 Solution Share Posted February 28 I don't use mods, and I'm using default cockpit. But I'll check the line, thanks. Thanks for the clue. My "default" cockpit livery wasn't really default. That was the problem. I had a mess in cockpit liveries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some cockpit liveries too and i just added the line i mentioned earlier to the description.lua of the liveries and then the kneeboard shows fine.

skins45 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Don't want to hijack the thread but it seems there's a resolution already here and don't want to add yet another F18 Kneeboard thread... Does the pilot model kneeboard pull from your Saved Games/KNEEBOARD documents as well? Or, do I need to put them in the actual DCS directory?

The line "{"Pilot_F18_FP_Map", 0, "mfd3", true};" should be added to the description.lua of the liveries you´re using.
