Lobo LXII Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 Just a little something I put together from Wags last mini-update. I got the idea from using VAAF Gizmo's kneeboards found in Mods downloads section. Just drop the .dds into your DCS WorldXXX/Bazar/temptexture folder and your set! Hope you can use it :joystick: :)AGM-65F.zip [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphamale Posted December 5, 2018 Share Posted December 5, 2018 It'd be nice having something like that for Mission Comms Frequencies and so forth instead of the pop-up page that takes up nearly a third of the screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobo LXII Posted December 5, 2018 Author Share Posted December 5, 2018 Not Hard to do...or I couldn't have :P From the read me, "How to install: Place in DCS WorldXXX/Bazar/temptexture You can make your own : - It must be square 512 X 512 or 1024 X1024 or 2048 X 2048 etc. - It must be saved as .DDS - It must be named : pilot_f18_fp_kneeboard" I just used my notepad. I picked a font I liked,then just typed it out. I then used the windows snipping tool and saved it as a .png. Next I opened that in photo shop and saved it as a .dds. that's all there is to it!

Lobo LXII Posted December 7, 2018 Author Share Posted December 7, 2018 Cool ! I was going to suggest looking into GIMP. It's free. I still have it loaded,so I checked and it works with .dds as well. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
