Training Manual on kneeboard
-
I use ezboads to put my briefing etc on the actual knee boards, then open knee boards to put pdfs and checklists/maps etc, including the training manual.
-
@Raiden-0 Thanks. I am looking the WDP up right now I see it is simple to use.
-
@rubbra Great. I would really love to have a readable format of the training manual on the kneeboard. I can see the right hand kneeboard has a number of empty/blank pages in the cockpit
-
I’m using open kneeboard with opentrack and have a tab with the training manual (and one with the new checklist) - works great.
-
@CriticalMass it works with opentrack (so not VR) too? Is there anything special to look out for or does it just work out of the box ?
Thx JayB

Yes, I don’t have VR.
It’s been a bit of trial and error, but I have it set up with:
- Games Tab:
- Point to Falcon BMS.exe
- Rendering API = Direct 3D (Non-VR)
- Input settings:
- I have a Wacom so I set Wintab to Standard
- I map a key to open and close the kneeboard (this might be a minimum, i.e. it might be hidden by default). I also map keys to move between tabs and pages
- I map some buttons on my hotas to also move between tabs and pages
I think that’s it.
- Games Tab:

@CriticalMass Is a physical tab mandatory?
I would like to only have the kneeboards in VR and i don’t have a physical writer -
@Virus I don’t believe so. It just allows you to make notes on the kneeboards while in 3D.
-
@Virus Training Manual looks fine in VR openkneeboard,
I just increased zoom a bit to make it more readable in flight -
@shishkin Would you be kind enouhg to share how you are able to get the training inside the knee board?
Or link to video tutorials on the steps involved.
I cannot seems to get it done with open knee board or ezboards.I fly exclusively vr and want to re-orient myself again after a while not flying bms.

@Ernestwinslow go here https://forum.falcon-bms.com/topic/24380/openkneeboard-tutorial-and-tips
That thread should have all you need to get up and running.

@Ernestwinslow agree with @rubbra, tips have already written there, nothing fancy to set it up. But if you stuck with something write here or ping me
