August 3, 20232 yr I've started typing my own checklists because I own so many aircraft it's impossible to memorize all of them so I was wondering if there's a way I can add my custom checklists as well as performance data to the Kneeboard for easy access. I really hate having to Alt + Tab to look at my checklists all the time. I appreciate anyone's help if there is a way, thanks.
August 3, 20232 yr In each [fltsim.x] section in aircraft.cfg there is a line for kb_checklists= and another one for kb_reference=. These lines call the filename of an HTML file on the same aircraft folder, that has the checklists and performance data. What you need to do is to create these HTML files with your custom checklists. At least this is how it works for FS9; I guess FSX and P3D work the same way.

August 3, 20232 yr Commercial Member Years ago I made the freeware "Lorby Scratchpad" for P3D V4 and beyond. This a an editor for the kneeboard combined with features to display text in a SimConnect message window. https://youtu.be/Gl1kxfdlGlI https://youtu.be/_fvrc1M5nmo https://youtu.be/iEda4oa8qc0 https://youtu.be/3dzm5xupDM4 Edited August 3, 20232 yr by Lorby_SI LORBY-SI

So if I understand this correctly, I need to create the HTML file, then put the file in the aircraft folder and use the lines in the aircraft.cfg file to point it to the HTML files, is that correct?

I want it, where can I find it? BTW thank you for your products. I do own AxisAndOhs and it's a wonderful tool, thank you for that.

Yep, but looks like Lorby gave us an easier way to do so.

August 3, 20232 yr Yes he sure did. I still appreciate you telling me how to do it without tools so I know how. I just found the scratchpad on his website now. I didn't realize he had so much interesting tools he's made. God bless you @Lorby_SI and thank you for your wonderful tools!
