Dethmagnetic Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) DCS TacBoard DCS TacBoard is a kneeboard application for iOS devices. It includes checklists, airport information, reference data (including performance charts, weapon information, etc.), and a notepad for in-flight notes and diagrams. It is free with no ads, and is completely open source: https://github.com/xchrishawk/TacBoard Beta Release I (finally) have a beta version ready to go on Apple’s TestFlight platform. If you’re interested in testing it out, I would really appreciate any feedback, comments, or suggestions. Here’s the link to join the beta: https://testflight.apple.com/join/J1qprUnI You will need to install the TestFlight app from Apple on your iOS device, and then tap on the link above to join the beta. It will download the app to your device, then you can use it just like a normal app. The beta build will expire after 90 days, but I’m hoping to have a released version on the App Store well before then anyway (hopefully within the next 3-4 weeks). I want to emphasize that this is a *beta* and isn’t complete. The main issue for now is that I only really have content for the A-10C, Caucasus, and Nevada modules. Those are the ones I’m most familiar with and I wanted to focus on those while proving out the app. Here’s what’s working: Checklists are fully functional. There are complete/comprehensive checklists available for the A-10C. Hoping to have more aircraft soon. All airport information is complete for the Caucasus and Nevada regions. There are links to airport charts produced by Virtual JaBoG32 (https://www.virtual-jabog32.de/) for the Caucasus region and 476th VFG (http://www.476vfightergroup.com/) for Nevada. Notepad is completely functional. Reference documents are functional, and have a ton of content for the A-10C. App supports dark/night mode to save your retinas when flying at night. Here’s what’s not yet complete: User-created checklists. This is my next goal. “Advanced mode” for checklists. This will condense checklists for experienced pilots. Checklists for non-Warthog aircraft. My next target is F/A-18C. More reference information, especially “general” military aviation topics like missile threat types. I am hoping to have regular updated builds over the next few weeks to fix bugs and add new features. I will post updates to this thread when each new build is available. Hope you enjoy!

Ghostraider Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Other sugestions: Threat Database can be implement "behind" the threats in the RWR section Cution Panel can make clickable and the explain (emegence checklist, or how to handle it) when click on the false [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]www.49th.de Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj3 Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Is this still in development? My iPad decided to test gravity onto a tile floor, so I’ve been reinstalling to a new device. Beta invite has been closed through TestFlight, and I don’t see it in the App Store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
