The EFB 3.0 for the BMS version 4.36 is released.
You can find the download link in the first post.With the extensive changes for the airfields in South Korea and Japan, errors are more likely. So if you find something, please post it here.
You guys are AWESOME!

hello, how can the flight info section be more self-compiled based on the mission you are carrying out?
-

Use a pen and write the missing information in the appropriate place.
The EFB was designed to be used in a (replica) pit like a kneeboard. I use it on a Surface GO, with a pen, and then make all the notes in the EFB that I need for a flight. I take those few minutes.
It was never meant to be linked to other programs etc. Besides, I don’t have the programming skills to build something like this.
It is simply a collection and linking of information, nothing more!

I use it in conjunction with WDP which does exactly what you describe.
So in the end I have the kneeboard pages created by WDP and the EFB from @EuKeule on my tablet. That works just fine. -
Hello folks,
it took a while, but now the EFB for BALKAN is released.
For download see first post. -
@EuKeule Thank you very much. Great work !
-
nice work for me
-
Thank You!
-
Great! Thank you!
-
Thank you

@EuKeule, Do you have a plan to release a new version of EFB for 4.37?
-
at the moment I don’t really have an idea what to put in there. Fact is, the checklists will fly out.
The new pdf is so extensive that I will not transfer it to the EFB. -
@EuKeule Oh…No… ;-(
-
@EuKeule would you be willing to put the source files on GitHub so others could expand on your work that was done already? As you already aware of how a community comes together to further code, projects, etc … when someone else doesn’t have the time people out there are just amazing and willing to help out.
-
These are wonderful. Thank you!
-
@Todd1215 I think this is a tremendous idea. No one is trying to take credit for their great work, and this can take a lot of the load off. This is such a great tool.
-
Would it be possible to get a way to easily import info from WDP for the briefing page?
-
@SmeagleGoneWild The Simplest method is to use it on a tablet that has pen capability and write the info in your self or print out that page and use pen and paper. In VR you could use OpenKneeboard along with a supported writing tablet and write directly on the PDF itself. This is also true in nonVR as this method also works. Having some automated push button approach isn’t simple or easy and WDP already does a great job at that.
-
@SmeagleGoneWild I’ve already figured out that this PDF source is a MS Powerpoint file that was converted to PDF. It’s a great idea and I have already converted the PDF back to PPT format but with some gotchas. Some of the tables like in the original briefing are not correct. I currently am using this for my own needs and do not plan on distributing it as another version. If/when the author(s) state its ok to open source it at that point I may do so if they do not provide the source. As you stated, its a great tool and should not be lost.
