Creating Kneepad Checklists and References in FSX

[unknown]

What is the secret to creating a checklist and reference files to be used in
the kneepad for an aircraft in FSX? I thought that all you had to do was
create the files in something like Word, then save them as an HTML document.
Then, in the aircraft.cfg file, you put the filename of the HTML Word file
in the sections that say "kb_checklists= " and "kb_reference= ". I have been
trying to create both a checklist and a reference for the kneepad for an
aircaft in FSX, and every time I do this procedure, the kneepad says that it
cannot find the document(s). I have been placing these documents in the root
directory of the aircraft, where the aircraft.cfg file is. It is driving me
buggy, because I cannot figure out exactly what I am doing wrong. Am I
missing something really obvious?? Is there a tutorial on the web somewhere
that explains exactly how to create a kneepad checklist and reference
document?

your putting the .htm files in the right place.......are you making
sure you don't add the .htm in the file name in the aircraft.cfg?

Hi shywon,
That was exactly what the problem was. I was including the ".htm" filename
extender when I entered the file references in the aircraft.cfg file. I
changed that, and it now works perfectly. You would not believe how much
hair I pulled out trying to figure out why those two files would NOT display
in the kneepad! I spent literally hours working on that. Thank you so much
for your help!!

A problem is only a problem
if we make it a problem.
