December 12, 201114 yr Hi allBefore i set out on any flight i like to get all the realworld info like route info, weather metar and fuel plan.I then copy this info into notepad for easy refrence.What i'd like to do, is to be able to click the location of my charts and have it pop up, just like linking to a website in the forum, for example.Is this possible?? (Useing notepad)Thanks Regards Luke M
December 13, 201114 yr Hi.I think not in Notepad as that's ASCII (plain text) only.However, if you have MS Office you could do it in Word (or, I suppose, a similar app) as there you can format text as a hyperlink and make the hyperlink point to the relevant document. Not sure about Wordpad (the sort of half-way house that usually ships with Windows)... give it a go.D
December 13, 201114 yr Author Thanks Dave ill give that a go...and ive been a VERY good boy this year Regards Luke M
December 13, 201114 yr You could do it in HTML and the kneeboard then acts like a web browser. Chris Miller
December 13, 201114 yr Author That sounds interesting, but will i be able to creat a link, that i can click, and open a file on my system? Regards Luke M
December 13, 201114 yr If you make the links to files in your directories it should work. Chris Miller
December 13, 201114 yr little bit of google found this, which can take the fuelplanner2 PDF file it looks like you are using and open it, or any pdf, on the kneepad.http://code.google.com/p/fscode/wiki/PDFKneeboardhope that helps.
