Thanks for clarifying things, but I just want to be very clear on your last sentence:
“It never hurts to load the DTC if you have the correct data saved in the DTC”What do you exactly do in the Falcon BMS UI then? You click on the right side on the DTC.
The DTC window pops up and then you have to click load on every subpage its load button or something?
(Sorry I’m not at home and I can’t check it out. I don’t know everything by heart)Yes, go to the right side and click on the DTC button in the BMS UI.
The DTC screen pops-up. Click on the load button and close the DTC window.
NO need to go through each page, clicking on the load button will load the complete DTC.Gr Falcas

Great, that will solve my problem! Love your tool btw, it has become a must!
Will try out now to start using the Pop-up attacks and such, because I’m reading your manual since this weekend -
Your temporary hack on filling in the pilot name in the DTC works!
Top job of implementing the kneeboard, really saves me a lot of time!

After I am finished doing what I need to do in WDP, go into 2d UI and hit load, it is moving my STPT lines. For example, if I have STPT lines in the form of a square, one of them disappears and I now have a triangle. Any idea why this is happening? I apologize if this has been answered in some previous thread but I haven’t been able to find an answer.

Thats a known bug in the DTC loading in BMS.
Only thing you can do at this time is manualy relocate the last Point as this is co-located with the previous point.Gr Falcas

Hi Falcas,
What does the “Swing” column represent? I couldn’t find documentation anywhere.

Hi Falcas,

Hi,
This column if for the swing check. Same as
This check is done while in the cockpit to check if the stpts are correctly inserted into the computer.
The values on the datacard are the bearing/distance from homeplate to the various stpts.
Select the stps and check the brg/dist on the HSI.Gr Falcas

Disregard the rest of this post. I gave HSI data for the wrong flight, SEAD Escort instead of TARCAP. I am sorry. FALCAS Datacard is correct.
I checked the brg/dist on the HSI and there seems to be a discrepancy around Stpt 5, 6, and 7. Is there any action I’m supposed to take to correct the discrepancy?
To summarize:
Stpt HSI DIST Datacard

24343
37676
49494
54389

Swing is brg/dist from bullseye?
-
From current position before flight. It’s a good way to verify flight plan was entered properly from back in the day of manual punch up or cards or whatever. It’s pretty obvious if you have the wrong flight’s flight plan loaded which can happen in BMS. Checks involving BE are known as “alpha check” and is more to check everyone has the correct BE than anything else.

Hello Falcas!
always a great job from you!
now shoud it be possible to have this kind of polar coordinates from Bull’s eye ?
according to me, very useful to built your own SA….

…hmmmnnn…from waypoint…er…steerpoint…zero, then? Or from home plate?

Hello,
from the last version, I noticed a bug if scale has been defined to OFF in HUD panel préférences…(of course, DTC is saved )…In fact , if DTC is loaded in the cockpit, the switch is correctly put to off but it can’t be modified. so select another mode becomes impossible from 3d cockpit…

Swing check you sit in the chocks and swing through the flight plan waypoints and verify the bearing-range info to each is correct. Before the flight you precompute what the direction-distance from chocks to each waypoint.
I was wrong to say “alpha check” are BE type, they are not. Alpha check is simple (not BE encoded) bearing-range type response. “Cowboy 12, Cowboy 11, alpha check to target.” “Cowboy 12 has 125 40 miles.” “Sentry, Cowboy 11 alpha check to tanker.” “Cowboy 11, tanker 090 30 miles.” “Falcon 11, Cowboy 11, alpha check to bullseye.” “Cowboy 11 360 50 miles (meaning Cowboy11’s BE position is 180 50).”

…ok…to home plate then. As in my world, your actual alignment spot on the ramp my differ from field center. Slightly. I like the general idea, though.

Thank-you very much!

Is it possible to have two copies of WDP working side by side for 4.32 & 4.33 until theater compatibility etc is guaranteed?
Many thanks in advance

If you want to use WDP for 4.32 and 4.33, that is no problem at all. Just go to the settings and point to the BMS install you want to use.
So you don’t need to have a older version installed to use it with 4.32.Unless you mean something else?

No, just so I can play either version (until full compatibility of theaters is achieved with 4.33).
Awesome piece of software, many thanks
