NGX checklist in the kneeboard ( FSX)

[fharistow 0]

Hi. Is anyone out there is still having trouble with PMDG's kneeboard displaying an empty window in FSX?

 

I have just written a brief setup script for the 737 800 before engine start and added it to the PMDG 737 800 HTML check list file. I placed it in the PMDG Airplane directory, i.e. Airplanes\PMDG 737-800NGX WL\ (found in SimObjects if using Steam) and it works well. Hope others find it useful. My setup is FSX in Steam and I use the Oculus Rift CV1 with Flyinside and I use MCE as my copilot. The kneeboard once selected is easy to manipulate inside the cockpit thanks to Flyinside.

 

Many thanks to Lewis and his setup for Gatwick to Edinburgh based on his Youtube video flying a Ryanair PMDG 737 800 with winglets.
