OpenKneeboard Tutorial and Tips

@Skorp I believe that would be a tablet he’s using. The video states a Huion H640P tablet - which are dirt cheap.
-
@CriticalMass ahhh ok, then he push in the physical tablet .
What a pity, if we can use the mouse (or a blind key) It would be perfect
Thankyou
-
@Skorp You can use a joystick button, keyboard key , etc … to cycle through pages, even switch documents. It just takes a little configuration.
-
@Wheelchock I supposse you said beetween folders and documents inside this folders
Yes, I have configured these, but in this case, if I’m not wrong is to make the same inside a PDF file. That is my question, to navigate inside checklist PDF file, as in the video.
But It seems Openkneeboard doesn’t support that

-
@Skorp yes you are correct, openkneeboard doesn’t support navigation inside the PDF files. I thought you were just referring to the documents themselves.

@Wheelchock Who knows in a near future

Hello.
I´m trying to use Openkneeboard in U3 with Korea theater and no Departure, Altenate and Arrival charts.
In Balkans runs fine.
Any idea?
Thank you

How are you loading the charts into the tabs? It’s not automatic, unless you have set up a folder and drop the charts into.
-
@CriticalMass I´m using WDP Converter 1.0.2

What is that?! Where did you find it?
The BMS Folder: line points to a parent directory, is it smart enough to select the Departure, Altenate and Arrival charts? (I don’t have Balkans installed)
What is your workflow to get the charts into OpenKneeboard?

@CriticalMass here is the link
https://forum.falcon-bms.com/topic/24993/openkneeboard-wdp-converter-tool?_=1698748494347
Workflow:
Open WDP
Open cam file
Open flight
Save Datacards
Ejecute WDP Converter.
Ejecute Openkneeboard -
I suppose there have had some changes in Korea charts.
I´ve created a folder called Charts and put in KTO and Balkans charts.
If I try to generate charts form KTO flight, charts folders appears empty but if I generate files from Balkans flight, I have the charts.
-
Well, ejem…
I´m a very stupid man.
There is no Haeju charts in South Korea
Sorry
-
@Logic you can just tell openkneeboard to point to a Folder and so when kneeboards are generated it picks from there (also if those are changed on the fly).
The optimal use of your application would be to generate single pages and not double pages…then setup a tab in OpenKneeboard which points to the directory where those two (at this point) files are being generated.
Thanks -
@Skorp wonderful program…thanks for letting us know
I tried it today…
Only one issue (WDP issue really not this app)…it is possible to generate the comm ladder kneeboard page from WDP?I don’t see this as option in the kneeboard settings in WDP.
I am using autokneepad or ezboard for this at the moment but it would be better to use only one app for everything.
Thankjs -
@Virus I have openkneeboard in right leg, a little Up from normal kneeboard and i see both, and “normal” kneeboard in the left.
Then i see both ezboard generarted and openknee too
The pity is the amount of steps to do but I’m very Happy with this programs

Has anyone got Open Kneeboard to automatically update the briefing doc once it’s printed in game rather than needing to manually reloading the tab?

Take a look at EZBoards and specifically EZPages. That pushes PNGs into a folder of your choice, which is automatically read by OpenKneeboard - if you point it to that folder.

@wazza69
I’m testing this out now, will let you know once I find out what works.
