Knee board and 'links'

Postby Ralphc » Wed Feb 27, 2013 1:58 am

Hi all..
On a number of my AC when I go to the 'Flight Checklist' on the Knee board I get 'headings' such as "Take-Off", "Cruise" etc. These are in blue. They're obviously linked to the Internet in someway. Thing is, I can't get them to activate or 'open.'  Is there a way of 'activating' them please?
Thanks
Ralphc

They could be linked to your local computer. Open the kneeboard file and check that the link path is correct. That's all I can think of.

If they are 'hyper'links to another location, you maybe be able to check by right clicking on them, if you get a menu, look for properties and click on that, they may give you paths to another file or a location within the help file.

As an example of what you may see, right click on the Flight Simulator X in the
Simviation Forum

May the Mynd be with you.
So far my number of landings either passenger or pilot equal my number of takeoffs.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for taking the time to respond, appreciated  :) 'c130lover,' forgive me but where can I find the 'Kneeboard File?'
EVVFCX...Tried you idea in the documentation page (in this case for the Trident) and found the 'properties' There's the GC logo there. Changed it to 'Notepad' but no joy  :(
Thanks

Hi Again...
Thanks for your time (again) EVVFCX...It's a David Maltby Trident (and very good it is too  ;)) So sorry no link.

C130lover...Found the file thanks. I've got 5 'Navlog' GC HTM Docs...not HTML or 'text' or _Check/_ref files. 

What I did find when I was in there under Simobjects was every AC I've installed and then deleted..quite shocked that they're still there!  :o

Appreciate your help with this Guys...spent ages looking for a solution last night.
Best Wishes
Ralphc

(Dave Maltby's Tridents at-http://www.dmflightsim.co.uk/hs121_trident.htm)

Unlike previous FS versions, the FSX Kneeboard does not support 'links'. (Dave mentions this in the Readme_Installation .txt file included with the Trident downloads.)

For the Trident; to read the documents with working links (all links are local) you can open them in your internet browser. They are located in the /DMFS Shared Files/ folder

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

Hi Dave...
Thanks for the reply...Hadn't realised that FSX doesn't 'do' links. :o...Should have saved my time and all the other good people who offered their time too.

Yep, I'd found Dave M's V. helpful docs (obviously missed the bit about FSX and links)...I'd actually printed them, but had a bit of a clear out a while ago and they've disappeared
