HI Juba,
I have excactly the same observation as spit.
The process is good runing, no error, the prerequests are in place.
But no change in Falcon .dds files nor in game. -
Corrected some bug, try this one !

Hi Juba.
Is valid for all Teathers.
THKS

Yes, if they are available in WDP, or just customize your own briefing in image 1600x1200, then use external file option in KBUpdater, choose your image file, and that’s all.

hello Juba,
i really would like to point out that you test stuff before you upload files for people to test.
Not all people have a degree in computer sience and are very easy with NEXT, NEXT FINISCH (and not knowing what or how they install)the last release is not working because of a \ that is automatic pasted in the setup.ini
here is the error:
See the end of this message for details on invoking

Same for me

I changed the converter and i tested it on Windows XP, it works well.
Kneeboard Updater 1.1 -
hello Juba thanx for the update
but what do you think happens when i install a 1.0 version program and that does not run? Exactly, i kick it off my pc
now erasing version 1.0 from mediafire and posting a 1.1 UPDATER is then not so smart ideatip 1: Create a new standalone version whitout doing a complete install and then update dance.
or
tip 2: put version 1.0 back on mediafire
tip 3: Give the exe a better name then setup.exe. That is very lame and my virus scanner is very agressive about that. (new virusscanners look also at the posibilty that it might be a virus because of name, and times it has been downloaded by other members)ps: I got your install working by performing a deinstall of the old 1.0 version
run the .exe but not continu!!! keep installer open
then in the %user%\AppData\Local\Temp directory search for the installer string and pick out the kneepupdate.msithen use the msi for installing your 1.1 version.
Now the software works as designed, good job -
Hi juba,
great work, I really love it, and it makes things easier.

Is there a way to use it for updating my kneeboard in other Theaters?
Korea works like a charm and i love it.
But currently we drive around in Balkans and i dont know how to get my kneeboard there. -
I made a central dds file to edit at a central place. ia Korea
Then i made mklinks in other theaters that refer to that hardlinkhttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753194(v=ws.10).aspx

Will this mod auto change the knee pad for all theater MODs? Specially the airbases page (navigation volume) with all frequencies etc. I’m trying to install the legsonly.lod MOD but can’t seem to find the installer (if there is one).
Anyway, I think the kneeboard updater mod is a nice mod. I certainly would use it.
Best Regards

Quick question. Since I’m assuming this copies over the 8019.dds does that mean if I don’t use the WDP and the Kneeboard Updater before every mission, then the in-cockpit kneeboard will display the last kneeboard used? If true, it would be nice to add the ability for the user to display their “default” 8019.dds if they are unable to use the WDP prior to a mission.
If this functionality is already in there I apologize as I have not yet used the Kneeboard Updater program.
Great idea BTW!

Hi Morphine,
Yes if you don’t change the dds before every mission, you’ll have the kneeboard displaying the last datacard. If you want a default datacard showing in the pit you have to exchange it using the KB updater. WDP is not required to run since both programs work independently.
btw, thanks for your warthog profile! Works great
-
Hey juba,
Can KB updater be accessed via command line? If so, it would be fairly easy to create some BMS start-up scripts. For example, setting default datacards for different theaters (pretty much what Morphine aims for). Just some simple scripts feeding KB updater with the default kneeboard data and parameters, and finally launch BMS?
Your tool is already great - it really is! But having this kind of interface would greatly increase convenience.
Thanks!
