Wish for upcoming DTC feature: A kneeboard manager

[twistking]

Hopefully the promised DTC/Mission planner will arrive in two weeks.

I propose a feature that is rarely mentioned when it comes to mission planning: A proper kneeboard manager with the following features:

• View and organize custom pages (from user folder), select which pages (stock and custom) to take for the mission
  • Avoid having to skip through endless pages that you don't need for that sortie
  • Allow to mark custom pages as favorite
• Ability to auto-populate pages with mission data (frequencies, navigation info, briefing overview etc.)
  • Would be huge for mission designers who can concentrate on more important things than copy/pasting frequencies
  • Would create much more usable kneeboards and would allow to fly without F10 map even on missions without custom hand-made kneeboard pages
• Auto-generate airport charts of selected airports
• Select which parts of the map to include in which scale
• Option to transfer map markers from the briefing to the kneeboard maps or even include custom doodles/notes

Thanks!

The kneeboard is overly difficult to use and needs an overhaul for sure. Taking radio info and populating it as it does waypoints on the map would be great. A page for the briefing should also appear. ED still kept the pause they added to the brief page that breaks immersion after so long.

You know about Taz1004's "No Pause Briefing mod"?

I was not aware but good to know that the ability to fix the briefing exists and I will be looking into this. Still unfortunate that ED hasn't addressed this after so much time though. It was a change they made intentionally and people have complained about it for years.

@twistking Excellent ideas!
