WDP and 4.33.1
-
Good Day, All,
Earlier today I reported the the Weapons Delivery Planner works with our new BMS. That was based on going into WDP and finding me package (which does work) .However, once I delved a little deeper I was getting messages like “blocked by other program” and “working off limited data” or some such. It would populate a data card, but the comm/TCN frequencies were wrong. I don’t know if this has something to do with the fact that TACAN is not recognizing the Vinson at 010x. WDP said 99x
However, those are minor issues. When I went to look at the WDP map, it crashed my pc big-time, and not just a CTD, either.
So, until I hear differently, I’d use care. -
I can partly confirm the problem, WDP first comes up with a “missing korea map” and when I select a flight in a TE created in 4.33.0, WDP crashes.
All the best, Uwe

I set the new fbms 433u1 location using the “settings” menu and things appear to work fine now, more testing is needed though.

I am getting these errors with 4.33 U1 using updated Balkans 4.33 U1.
WDP 3.7.2 Build 69
The program seems to work OK aside from having to load the theater after it says that my BMS install is set to the Korean theater.
Mission Commander 0.4.8.182
The program seems to work OK.
Weather Commander 1.2.8.0
I have not used WC before but it seems to not be able to access the BMS 4.33 U1 Balkans fmap. It brings up a blank map.
I don’t know much about these programs but it seems like it is having problems identifying that the Balkans map is loaded and thinks Korea is loaded.

Yeah, Guys. I enjoy WDP so much I went back into it just to get the data card. I was able to get one without problems, though things like TACAN are still incorrect.
I believe the problem really manifests itself when you try to draw up the map -
I’m not sure they are really working. I just spun up a fresh PC (never had any BMS installation on it) and installed 4.33.1 only as well as Mission Commander and Weather Commander. In MC you can at least try to set the BMS location but even after doing so it’s not loading files correctly. It’s also giving lots of errors. and in WC there is no way to set the location or theater so I’m not getting any map or anything. Lots of errors as well.
It’s almost as though these programs aren’t able to pick up on the new BMS settings in the registry which kind of makes sense but I’m only guessing.
-
I have fresh U1 installed with Korea only. Also fresh install of Mission Commander and Weapon Delivery Planner with settings checked and correct file locations confirmed. I get same message as Viking on both programs at startup, “Current Selected Theater in BMS not found”. Although both programs seem to work fine.
-
No problems for me with stock Korea but havent tried Balkans yet.
-
No problems for me with Balkans either.

Same here…

Did you add this part for the Balkans Theater:
• Go to your X:\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\Data\Terrdata\theaterdefinitions\ folder
• Open the theater.lst file in Notepad
• Insert the following line at the end
Add-On Balkans\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\Balkans.tdfX: is most likely you C:drive

Yes
How many of the people who have this problem are running Falcon on a second hard drive with WDP on a third hard drive separate from the OS hard drive? It may be good to find out if there is a connection between what programs are on what hard drive. For instance: My hard drive setup is as follows.
OS
WDP
F: FalconBMSAlso, is everyone on here reporting their results using WDP 3.7.2 Build 69?
-
If I have 4.33 and 4.33 U1 installed, WDP and MC works and I can change the install directory in WDP and MC without problems. If I deinstall 4.33, the problems occur. Only solution for me is a parallel install of both falcon Versions.

Thanks for the info. That is the case with me as well. When I ran 4.33 U1 with 4.33 installed I did not have this problem. How many that have this problem do not have 4.33 installed and how many who have 4.33 installed do not have this problem?
If everyone that does not have this problem also has 4.33 installed then we should concentrate on those that do not have both installed. If anyone who has both installed has this problem it would be good to know.
-
Good thinking Viking. I have only 4.33 U1 installed with WDP and MC on the same SSD. Windows on another SSD. “Current Selected Theater in BMS Not Found”. Both programs work however.
-
Well most probably guys having 4.33 WDP is reading this folder?

Same here…
Gibor, (and JD) , are you “opening mission” on the correct path, starting at 4.33U1, or some such(not 4.33)
-
Yes, open mission works fine. The error message only displays on initial program loading. Load bar stops temporarily to show error message but then continues to load OK. Other folks may have additional problems however.

I noticed a strange problem with the files in BMS 4.33 U1. Does anyone else have this issue?
The .cam files date last modified is not updated. The .cam files stopped showing they were being updated the day I uninstalled BMS. 4.33.
For example:
In windows explorer when I sort the .cam files, they show they have not been updated since 4/6/2016 yet I have saved many times since then. If I open the .cam file in WDP or in BMS it is obvious it is saving my game but for some reason windows explorer does not show that it has been modified since I removed BMS 4.33.I wonder if it has something to due with the issue some of us are having with how WDP, MC, and WC not recognizing our theater. I have already reinstalled WDP and now I will reinstall BMS 4.33 U1 and report back.

The reinstall did not fix the error. I have now reinstalled everything new and still get the error. Is there anyone who does not have 4.33 installed and only has 4.33 U1 that does not get the error message?
