Brief, debrief and NOTEBOOK

[VMFA117_Poko]

With 1.0.0.8 patch for DCS Warthog we will get brief and debrief window and ability to open it in flight. That's great news. I don't know how it will work but it gave me an idea of implementing another usefull window like private notebook - something like chat but with info written only for me and by me. It could be some coords given via radio, some frequencies wich are not posted in brief but copied from CDU DIVERT page or any else data. It would be great to have that window moveable (like in FSX). Is it possible?

How 'bout the good ol' pen and paper? :)

[VMFA117_Poko]

I can't write. My hands are shaking :D

 

No really, I use ol' pen and paper right now and it's not too comfortable - that's my point. I got no room to use it. If some data shows up after trigger i start quickly to look for:

1. Notebook

2. Pen

3. And then make a place on a desk where I can write the info down to notebook - this is usually tight area where I'm moving wired mouse. So just after writing it down I have to move my notebook again somewhere else. I know - I'm lazy but time is important in mp mission where you can not pause. Please don't mention about kneepad notebook - I already look like a dork with my headphones and track clip pro on my head... All in almost complete dark (I got lite-up g15 keyboard only). How easy would it be with simple shortcut opening the window to note like in chat? It could also autocopy trigger info with a timeline. I think mainly of such purpose. You got my point? :) Hope there are people with similar problem, hehe.

I'd love to see a kneeboard like a few other sims have that the mission designer, pilot or simulation can fill with relevant information such as charts, pictures, mission objectives, frequencies, landing airstrip and ALA details, important comms, 9-lines, etc, etc. This would facilitate the collection and organisation of important mission information without requiring the pilot to go do so by hand, thus reducing the amount of pilot load and allowing the pilot to get into the mission faster. The option to disable this could be made available to pilots preferring the manual method.

Waiting for my Ipad to be delivered now...I have big plans for that puppy, checklists, maps, notes, AARs and with Ghost Unit's Ipadpit I can use it for as a MFD input device. Thus creating the uber-kneepad
