uboats Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 (edited) From several latest MiG-21BIS review videos, we can see that mig21bis supplies many specific kneeboard pages concerning startup, NDB stations, etc. Here I have a question that once mig-21bis has been installed, will we see mig-21bis specific kneeboard pages when we fly other aircrafts? If not, how can we make our own aircraft-specific kneeboard pages? (Otherwise, the total pages of kneeboard will increasing rapidly if more PFM/ASM standalone modules are installed) * did not find any thread talking about this. * Edited August 28, 2014 by uboats [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] My DCS Mods, Skins, Utilities and Scripts | Windows 10 | i7-4790K | GTX 980Ti Hybrid | 32GB RAM | 3TB SSD | | TM Warthog Stick | CH Pro Throttle + Pro Pedal | TIR5 Pro | TM MFD Cougar | Gun Camera: PrtScn | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericoh Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 This would be awesome, no more switching 150 pages to find stuff. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milli Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I suppose one could make a folder for each aircraft, containing only the pages you want for each aircraft and use JSGME to swap them in before you choose which aircraft you're going to fly. You'd have to make a backup of the original kneeboard folder so you can get back to the default if need be. I haven't looked into this, its just a guess.

NeilWillis Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Having a facility to place pages separately for each module would be a good move. I would definitely make good use of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uboats Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share Posted August 28, 2014 This would be awesome, no more switching 150 pages to find stuff. :D Yeah, especially after the release of mig-21bis which shares all its (tons of ) kneeboard pages to every AC :D I suppose one could make a folder for each aircraft, containing only the pages you want for each aircraft and use JSGME to swap them in before you choose which aircraft you're going to fly. You'd have to make a backup of the original kneeboard folder so you can get back to the default if need be. I haven't looked into this, its just a guess. Regards, Milli it can work, but seems you have to quit the game before change to another aircraft. Having a facility to place pages separately for each module would be a good move. I would definitely make good use of it. don't whether we can modify the lua scripts for kneeboard pages such that it can find certain subfolders according to the under-controlled aircraft. This thread might help. that thread only talks about howto add customized pages.

txmtb Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 don't whether we can modify the lua scripts for kneeboard pages such that it can find certain subfolders according to the under-controlled aircraft. Pretty sure it can be done. PeterP's kneeboard mod allows individual directories for specific aircraft. Would just have to dig through it and find the code that directs it and edit the default files. I still use that mod with all the aircraft except the FC ones because they jump around. 1 Win 10 64 Pro, MSI Z390 I7-9700K @5ghz Kraken Z63, 32Gb Corsair Dominator, MSI RTX-2070, 1TB NVME 2TB SSD's, TM Warthog, Pro Rudders, OpenTrack w/ IR Clip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ED Team Alex Okean Posted August 28, 2014 ED Team Share Posted August 28, 2014 Kneeboard already have functionality for per unit separation see part of Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD\indicator\init.lua local terrain_path = get_terrain_related_data("KNEEBOARD") local common_path = LockOn_Options.common_script_path.."KNEEBOARD/indicator/CUSTOM" local user_path = lfs.writedir().."KNEEBOARD" local unit_name = get_aircraft_type() if unit_name ~= nil then scan_path(terrain_path..'/'..unit_name) scan_path(common_path ..'/'..unit_name) scan_path(user_path ..'/'..unit_name) end it means that itry to find images for unit in three folders : inside active terrain folder Bazar\Terrain\Kneeboard for example for P-51D it will try to scan Bazar\Terrain\Kneeboard\P-51D folder inside self kneeboard folder Scripts\Aircrafts\_Common\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD\indicator\CUSTOM\P-51D and inside user dir C:\Users\<USER>\Saved Games\DCS\KNEEBOARD\P-51D also it try to find pages inside mission with same pattern <MIZ_FILE_ROOT>/KNEEBOARD/<UNIT_NAME>/IMAGES/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
