• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Editing Kneeboard HTML?

Hi Everyone,

I just had a quick question. I want to use FSX's kneeboard to add a custom website to it, I figure a good place to add it would be to the "Key List" section. Does anyone know where the HTML file is located so that I can edit it?

According to the SDK, it says:
Key Commands
Provides a complete list of keyboard commands. The text displayed on the Key Commands tab of the kneeboard is located in the main Aircraft folder, and is named kneeboard_keys.htm.
Click to expand...

But what is the "Aircraft" folder? I've tried the /SimObjects/Airplanes folder, and FSWeb/LearningCenter/Aircraft but anything I do doesn't show up in the FSX Kneeboard. I have also tried the kneeboard_keys.htm file in the Uires folder, but like above the changes aren't reflected in the kneeboard. I have tried doing the "refresh" technique as mentioned in the SDK also.

So, does anyone know the proper location for this file?
 
I'm not perfectly certain I understand what you're after here, but here's an approach you may wish to try:

Each Aircraft folder has an .htm file in it called the "reference" file, containing reference speeds (V1, V2, etc.), flap speeds, etc.

So, this is just an .htm file, but every default aircraft has one, and it always shows up in the kneeboard, on the Reference page.

At the very bottom of that file, you could include a hyperlink to another .htm file that you place also in this folder.

That .htm file could be anything you wanted it to be, and you'd have a link to it from the built in .htm file that will always show up on the kneeboard.
 
Keep in mind though that FSX's "Kneeboard" -unlike the FS9 "Kneeboard"- does NOT have access to the internet at all... :eek:
 
Actually, it does. Right now, my issue is getting hyperlinks to function properly. It seems to disable any form of content other than what it can display staticlly.

I managed to get to the net by using a meta-refresh command.
