Weapon Delivery Planner released
-
OK, tried your work-around leaving WDP open in windows and saving DTC. ALT-TAB back to campaign planning map, but still no go. Driving me crazy. One thing: in the WDC DTC/STPT page, the COPY DTC button appears to do nothing. When I save the DTC file, it does confirm the callsign.ini save and the PPT and Line steerpoint data are listed in the callsign.ini file - yet they do not load to the sim. I get the feeling this is something pretty basic that I am missing. I am running Win 7-64, 4 GB ram, with ATI 6870 vid card.

I have tried everything I can think of. Reinstalled WDP and BMS. Deleted pilot and created and new one. Some day this mystery will be solved, but right now I am out of ideas.

Hi Teeball,
Read the work around post again and pay close attention to the fact that you should save the DTC in WDP while you are going to the 3D world or if you are already in the 3D world.
Saving it and then going back to the campaign map in BMS doesn’t change anything!!!
So click the fly button in BMS and then start doing the work around with WDP.Reinstalling BMS or WDP has nothing to do with this and will not help you. Also making a new pilot file won’t help.

Ahhhh. Missed the part about the 3D world. Thanks much, will give that a try.

First! Thank you very much for this awesome software that adds realism to the game.
I got a strange problem. Im flying a campaign (sometimes on my dedicated server). I pick my flight and save the campaign. Then i load it up with WDP and enter my Package. I see my flight there. But after i click my flight and i go back to the Data sheet it shows me the wrong package… Why?
I had it working before. Ive tried a “repair”.

Really appreciate all your help, Falcas, however success has proven very elusive. I prepared WDP DTC file, left WDP open, started campaign mission, paused sim, ALT-TAB to windows and re-saved the DTC file, click on BMS to return to cockpit, but still no PPT or lines on HSD. Thanks for trying.

Hi,
If you are in the cockpit and then Alt+tab to WDP, save the DTC and move back to the cockpit, the DTC has the data needed.
But it is not loaded yet So load the DTC again and you should be fine.
To load the DTC, do the following.
Have a look at both MFD lower buttons and see if you find “DTE”. If not, click on one of the 3 center/lower MFD buttons until you see the MFD selections.
Select the “DTE”, it can be found on the right hand side of the selections.
If you have selected the “DTE” you will find the load button on the top of the MFD.Gr Falcas

Campaign files are complicated and sorting them out is a big job. One little mistake in the code can have hugh result.
So it might be that there is a little thing in the code.
Can you post the mission file you got the problem with and tell me the package number. Then I can have a look.Gr Falcas

Thank you very much for this great tool. This is a must have for efficient mission planning :bowd:
-
This tool is extremely powerful - with all the possibilities it offers, it is of inestimable value in the flight planning.
Thank Falgas - btw there is a possibility to see the the Programm on the whole screen? Running 1920 x 1200

Package 7082. Flight is Lobo.
EDIT: I think this is multiplayer related. When i connect to my server and load the campaign on my client computer i get this fault.
When i load the campaign not connected to my server WDP works properly.

Hi Rivvern,
Thanks for the files!!!
I can reproduce the problem, so just give me some time to find why it is doing this.Gr Falcas

Found it, consider it solved in the next update of WDP.

Question about how WDP works. Does WDP completely overwrite the callsign.ini file, or add to it? I am wondering whether or not target steerpoints and lines, for example, can be added in the campaign planning GUI DTC to the data saved in the .ini file by WDP. Or would saving the campaign planning GUI DTC overwrite and delete the DTC data saved in WDP?
-
Good job Falcas. Im looking forward to the next update.

You could have just tried it and you would have known
But a very good question.
WDP will read your callsign.ini (and Mission.ini) If you already have PPTs in the callsign.ini, you can see that in the DTC–>STPT tab. Do note that WDP will load your callsign.ini when WDP starts. So if you have WDP running and then start to add PPTs in your callsign.ini from within BMS, the callsign.ini need to be loaded again in WDP. To do this DTC–>Main tab.
Your PPT and other setting remain, unless you delete a PPT with WDP ofcourse. Be aware that changes to the callsign.in/mission.ini are only applied when you save the DTC!!!
There is only one exception. The AutoPPT function will first clear all PPTs and then adds its own PPTs to the list.So in short, WDP will not create a new version of your callsign.ini, but it will only add the changes that you make in WDP.

Falcas, I also have a quick question.
I noticed on one of the airports, the Tower Freq is .005 off from the documented tower freq on UHF, I believe. Would that even matter in game? If it does, I’ll find which one it was and get back to you.
-
Hi Wizard,
WDP has a database with the all the airport data.
As I am still human, I do make mistakes So if you find any, please let me know.
Yes, the name of the airport would be great.
As for the effect in BMS… If you tune the wrong freq, you can’t contact the towerGr Falcas

I’m not really sure who’s wrong here. I have a guess though.
Seosan VHF:
BMS Manual = 136.755
WDP = 136.755
Korean Navigation chart from (I think?) Red Dog = 136.75
VHF scratchpad cabability = five digits max = 13675 = 136.75
UI “Set Tower” = 136.750I think they probably have the manual wrong, and thus led you astray.
-
Well, relax! While confirming my bug with the BMS-manual, it turns out that the navigation chart included by Red Dog?(I think he’s the one who makes them?) is actually the source of the error!
Seosan VHF was the radio in question. You and the manual say 136.755, and the Korea Navigation Volume says 136.75 only.
Thanks for your work on WDP man, awesome stuff.
If you got the idea that I was “stressed”, I am sorry but text does not always bring the needed emotion.
What I wanted to bring across is that I do make mistakes and I am open to all feedback.Yes, Reddog is the one making all the charts. He is also open to feedback. So If he does not react to this post, drop him a nice note about your findings.
