Open Kneeboard

[BaronVonVaderham]

Hey guys,

I'm using open kneeboard and I'm trying to add pages. OK is not too clear about it (I thought it was, but it isn't). It says put it in the kneeboard/aircraft folder 

I"m assuming I should use the specific folder for the aircraft I want it in (which is interesting, because I'm not sure what name to call the folder for e.g. the viper, as apparently those folder names can differ...)

 

I saw that you can add tabs as well, but where do I store content for such tabs?

For most aircraft, its the same as that used for its liveries folder ... these are the ones I have used:

For some reason it refused to show my kneeboards.

This is what I got.

DCS can't present a PDF file on your kneeboard, only graphics files, like PNG and JPG:

Go into the settings and create a new tab, then you can specify a file or folder. It's the only way I was able to add my own stuff in, like adding Chuck's guides.

I think you are referring to the DCS as build in kneeboard. I’m referring to the mod “open kneeboard”. Tough in fairness, maybe the same applies to open kneeboard. But then again, the one png on my fodder doesn’t show up either.

Thanks. I will try that. I thought that open kneeboard automatically takes the content of the aircraft kneeboard as well. Currently the kneeboard folder in my saved games area is completely empty.

Made a template file for it if you want to use and make it look more realistic and like a tablet
