AutoKneePads for Falcon BMS
Auto-Updating Cockpit KneePads for Falcon BMS.
- I’d already created the code for the Ice’s Falcon BMS Helios Profile so this is the standalone version.
- It auto-updates the Cockpit KneePads as shown in the screenshots below.
- It auto-updates the KneePads with any change detected in either the Briefing.txt or Callsign.ini files or the current Theatre.
- To update the briefing information select “PRINT” from the Falcon BMS mission briefing page.
- Note: The briefing file must be saved as a text file which is the Falcon BMS default setting.
- Extract the AutoKneePads folder from the zip file and run the AutoKneePads.exe file either directly or from a shortcut.
- Only if run from “Program Files” or “Program Files (x86)” is run as Administrator required, otherwise this is absolutely not required.
- AutoKneePads runs in the System Tray with options to Pause and Resume the KneePads auto-update.
- It auto-detects the latest version of Falcon BMS and creates the KneePads for that version.
- If you want to run it with an earlier installed version of Falcon BMS then just edit the Settings.ini file.
- Instructions on editing the Settings.ini file are included in the file itself.
- It creates LeftKneePad.png, RightKneePad.png and the KneePads.png combined file in the KneePads folder for other uses if required.
- It uses the Arial Narrow Fonts which are installed on most systems but if not download and install from the link below.
Latest Additions and Improvements.
- AutoKneePads now includes a built in Web Server to allow viewing the KneePads in a web browser.
- The System Tray menu now has options to Start And Stop the Server and to display the Server Local IP Address for use in a browser.
- On start-up AutokneePads uses the Web Server running status setting saved from the last session.
