    DCS Knee Board Builder

    http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=129341

    Just spotted this on the ED forums. After giving it a go I can say it's certainly rather useful indeed. Just drag and drop pdf files and it will convert each page to .png for the knee board and store in folders etc. Then you use the app istelf to configure which pages to want on your knee board. With the group function it'd be easy enough to setup some kneeboard presets for each DS mission (or training missions etc.).

    Did you manage to delete one or more pages out of the vanilla DCS kneeboard? I only found a way to add custom pages, not remove stock ones..

    I've tried deleting the "stock" images from multiple locations and they still appear.

    I just deleted them from the DCS Word folder that the app will open for you when you select the menu option and they've all gone.

    Anyone had any luck getting the kneeboard builder to resize and move the kneeboard in 2.0? I've tried a handful of times and it just won't move or get bigger (and I'm old, it's hard to read )

    Never got that to work for me either. I think Dojo and Gunny have used it in the past so maybe they have some tricks. Besides...

    I use it but never changed the default location. I'll play with it tomorrow and see what the results are.

    Oh its really helpful in VR, I have a lot of checklists in it for the VR purpose. Much easier to reference than flipping the rift up.
