StrongHarm Posted October 13, 2010 Author Posted October 13, 2010 tanks for the tip! I printed out the pages between 80-560. I dont like reading pdf-files. In Acrobat, try view settings 'Fit Width' and page display 'Two Up'. Then go into reading mode "ctrl + H". It looks just like a book. There's a text to speech function as well. I like to set it to 300wpm and let it read through for me. That way I can glance at diagrams and continue with the reading. It becomes natural to read along with it and still get the most of the diagrams. You can pause the voice with CTRL +SHIFT+C at any time. I think it helps me to retain everything better. Sounds funky but it really works for me. 1 It's a good thing that this is Early Access and we've all volunteered to help test and enhance this work in progress... despite the frustrations inherent in the task with even the simplest of software... otherwise people might not understand that this incredibly complex unfinished module is unfinished. /light-hearted sarcasm
Sabre-TLA Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Thanks StrongHarm. I used A5 index card size 8"x5" and used print to fit and it fits my Flyboy's Kneeboard perfectly! 1 MapleFlagMissions - Read Our Blog for Updates
CrashEd Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Good info for others, thanks StrongArm. I did the same for Shu's airport plates. I'm trying to standardise everything to A5 size (kneeboard). It's a much handier size to have in the 'pit :)

automag928 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Awesome! I've always struggled trying to get PDFs to print correctly, this was perfect!!
automag928 Posted February 21, 2011 Posted February 21, 2011 Can anyone point me in the right direction of the airports? Also is the manual on DCS' website now the "official" manual since A-10C is official?

nerves Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Just a quick not for those with automatic duplexing; just set the print area for 2to1 pages on letter size and you are done. Fold and staple as needed.
