Hi, I am sure most of us have seen different great addons for fs kneeboard like adding web browser, music and even maps. My question is that is there anyone who has tried or can tell me if it is possible to add the fs map on the kneeboard for easy access while flying? When ever you want VOR, ILS and radio frequencies you need to stop flying and search in the map and that is a litte of a hassle? I use fs9. Any help greatly appreciated.
Happy flying, ermias

"fs kneeboard like adding web browser"
The FS9 kneeboard is (already) a browser; all one has to do is add hyperlinks (URLs) to any of the existing kneeboard files. I have a complete Frontpage Website linked to my kneeboard with every conceivable option accessible without pausing the sim.

A good online kneeboard mapping option is Encarta.com or Maptech.com

Maybe so, but with the default kneeboard, you can't resize it, and if you minimize it, it doesn't 'save' your place. The program I use does Wink

Thanks for all the replies. I have tried most of them and now I am relieved from going back and forth between flying and the map.
Thanks a bunch, ermias
