Weapon Delivery Planner released

Any chance we can get WDP to work with the latest Battle for Balkans campaign? I’m not at my of right now so I can’t recall what errors I get, I just know it doesn’t work. I play it in single player.
-
I remain confused regarding the choice in WDP of whether or not the DTC for particular mission was saved. I plan a mission, set precision steerpoints, lines, etc. and save the DTC. If in WDP I select that the DTC was saved for that mission, the map shows the original flight plan, but with precision steerpoints. If I select that I did not save the DTC, the map displays my correct/altered flight plan, but the precision steerpoints are lost. Some other DTC settings like lines and PPTs also appear to behave inappropriately. Can anyone enlighten me how this feature works? Love the program BTW.
-
I am having problems with the newest versions of WDP and MC. Neither one of the two sees where the falcon database or program is, regardless of if i point them to my falcon install directorie. They are both giving me errors when trying to load both programs. Before upgrading to the latest of both I had zero issues. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both programs three times to no avail. Has anyone else seen this? I am getting frustrated as heck.

Hi,
First to start off with, if you use the precision steerpoints as they should be used you should not see a difference at all.
Precision STPT is for accuratly placing a STPT which is already on that spot. Adding STPT by use of precision STPT is possible, but will only gives you this type of confusion.Always follow the KISS rule… Keep It Simple Stupid.
So create the flightplan with normal STPT. Keep all STPT inside the flightplan, meaning that the last STPT will be your landing/alternate airport.
Don’t move a precision STPT to a totally different location, just move the normal STPT to that location.Yes, this is very complicated especially because this is is about different flights and 2 DTC files which you can show and edit at all time.
So you can end up with looking at point created for flight A in the callsign.ini file, but you want to see them for flight B in the TE.ini
WDP gives you the option to sync the data in the callsign.ini and TE.iniAs you don’t give any specifics, it is also very hard to give you a good answer at this time.
If I select that I did not save the DTC, the map displays my correct/altered flight plan, but the precision steerpoints are lost. Some other DTC settings like lines and PPTs also appear to behave inappropriately
What seems inappropriate to you is most likely 100% correct

If you tell what the error is you encounter I might be able to answer.

Falcas: WDP is a brilliant piece of software - of which I am sure you know as EVERYONE on BMS relies on it! However a cheeky request. If you are going to upgrade do a second version a thought might be to pull out the elements of the ATO that pertain to your airstrip and the takeoff and landing activity for when you are taking off and landing. I think looking at the CAM/TAC file format it should be possible to do. It would help sometimes when the airbase is very very busy.

Include in MC already as this is important for mission building. And yes… it needs to be ported to WDP as well
MC=> Load your mission and go to the map.
Mouse over the airport of interest, right click and select Airport Schedule.Gr Falcas

Falcas thanks for the pointer. I did not know that was in Mission Commander at all!

I just found in WDP 3.7.3 that there IS an Airport Schedule button at the bottom left. Very useful!

Thank you Falcas for a great program. I have become totally depended on it.
But MC is not working very well with the Balkan theater because of all the airports with new names and frequency changes.Will there be an updated database for Balkan?
If not, can you please tell how to edit the database ourself?Brgds,

Hey,
The next release will see an airport database update for a couple of theaters, including the Balkans.

Sorry for the typo in previous post. MC should of course be WDP. But I guess your answer is related to WDP.

UPDATE
Issue resolved I`ll leave post just in case it may help someone with similar error. The fix was to delete my pilot name .ini file eg: Guardian.ini ,then launch Falcon and the file will be recreated. Closed Falcon and ran WDP error gone. -
It appears WDP et al. (MC, WC etc) work fine under WINE on linux (tested WINE 2.1 on Debian) once you’ve installed dotnet45 via winetricks. Just wanted to let you know.
Keep up the good work & thanks!
