Kneeboard

[II.JG1_Vonrd]

For all modules, I have a png of my HOTAS keybinds which I place in the kneeboard of each plane. With so many modules in my game, I really need this quick reference especially for new modules and ones not flown regularly.

How can I make this cheatsheet the first page in the kneeboard for the F-4E? I placed the graphic in a Saved Games folder for the F-4E with a name of !!! 001 Virpil_Winwing F-4E Phantom II. I thought that the exclamation marks would place it at the front but it is buried about 20 pages in. 

Also, can I get rid of all of these pages that are seemingly default and I don't find helpful and actually annoying?

Not a perfect solution but….

Make it the absolute last page. 999_name.png or something. That way you only have to go left 1 page from the start page and it’s there.

Hi,

I opted to move all *.jpg from c:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F-4E\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD\pages" to "C:\Users\"your name"\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard\F-4E-45MC" so my checklists would be before the originals.
 

You may delete the ones you don’t want.

@Sydy - curious, I wonder if the kneeboard images in ...\Mods\aircraft\F-4E\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD\pages will be re-inserted with every new DCS update (or if you did a repair)?  Since we haven't had an update since the F-4E was released, I don't think we've been able to test this yet.

Hi @609_Relentov, I am 100% sure they will, at least when the F-4E has an update, but that’s how I could solve it so far.

Take care,

@Sydy thanks!

I backed up and then deleted everything in the "pages" folder (including the two .lua files) in c:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F-4E\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD\pages

Now the kneeboard is only showing my HOTAS cheetsheet, the mission maps and the relative airport charts. I'll see what happens at the next update.

To make your HOTAS keybinds cheatsheet appear as the first page in the kneeboard for the F-4E, you can try renaming the file with a prefix that would sort it alphabetically before any other files.

The kneeboards will probably populate again, because I assume we will get an update for the F-4E. With need an official feature/app like Kneeboard Builder, were you could opt to remove the default kneeboards.
