Weapon Delivery Planner released
-
The data card and the coordination card review/prints ok, but the briefing card is blank.
Hello Falcas, any ideas? Perhaps a setting in config file? Thanks.

Falcas I just did a clean install of WDP 3.7.7 build 99 any time I click get DTC file I am getting a Just In Time Debug catch for unhandled exception:

I can get the info from callsign.ini etc fine by going there but ‘get dtc file’ on briefing, datacard etc is throwing that error no matter what I try.
and the Data card etc show blank because of it (despite the fact that the map has loaded in all the info apparently)
figured would let you know.

Great program, I don’t take off without it! I’m not sure if this is the best place to ask, but there is one thing I’d like to see in future updates. Many of us play in semi dark to dark rooms with multiple monitors, one of which I keep WDP up on. Would it be a lot of work to add a choice in backgrounds? WDP is yellow/white for the most part, which creates a glare. Would be nice if other colors or simple a “dark” version were available. Again, thanks for the great program!

Way too much going on with other tools and Dev stuff.
Don’t expect any major change in WDP for some time.Gr Falcas

New version released.
Check the WDP website or…

It’s been about 3 years since I’ve used WDP, is the proper procedure to do a alt/tab DTC save before the timer hits 4min for example when doing a taxiway start? Reason I ask is because I’ve seen someone state that is not necessary with the new version but I’ve had my callsign.ini wiped out if I don’t do that so just wondering what the “official” procedure is now.
Thanks

No need to do this anymore.
When you are done in WDP and saved your DTC, go back to BMS and before you jump to the 3D world just load your DTC.
After you have closed the DTC screen in BMS, you will see all the lines and PPTs on the map.Enjoy,

Cool, thank you for your response and the excellent software you write for us.

Hi Falcas,
WDP has been behaving flawlessly for months, and then suddenly today I get this on trying to open any .tac or .cam file:Downloaded new version of WDP 3.7.8 and same thing. Latest MS Visual C installed. ANy ideas?
Problem solved: pasted the version of LzssNative.dll from Mission Commander and all works fine now.

Why don’t you use Mach/CAS instead of Mach/GS on the datacard?
-
GS is more practical for timings management than a CAS. CAS depends on altitude … not the TAS/GS.

The BMS TE lessons and the TE editor only show CAS and TAS, not GS at the steerpoints. Is there a way to get the TE to show GS?

I got a bug window when I last tried to open WDP (see below).
I re-downloaded the last version just in case, and checked that .NET 4.0 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable are installed.
I googled the problem a bit but it didn’t help much. I don’t have a single clue about the cause of the problem and how to solve it.
Would any of you have an idea ? -
Did you try package instead in the installer already?
See first post for the download link.Gr Falcas

First, thanks a lot for taking time to answer.
However I’m sorry, I’m not sure I understand what you mean.
What I did : I first checked I did have .NET 4.0 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable installed, then I uninstalled WDP, made sure I downloaded the very last version and installed it, but I got the same problem with the new installation.
I then uninstalled WDP again, and installed it again by double-clicking on the .msi package instead of the setup.exe, to see if it could make any difference, but it didn’t. -
There is an installer version of WDP, but for some unknown reason some have issues with it.
For those you can download WDP as a packed zip file.
Link is in the first post. Just unpack it in a directory you like.
It might help not installing/extracting WDP your “program file”.
Depending on your windows setting this might block access to reading/writing files.Gr Falcas
-
Okay, got it. So I downloaded the packed file and installed it… but I got the same bug in the end. The mystery remains !
As for the directory, I installed WDP at the C:// root so it shouldn’t be the cause of the matter at hand. -
New hint, though I don’t know what it may mean. Mission Commander no longer works either, and I just tested Weather Commander and got the same result : I launch the .exe, but nothing happens. When I check the task manager the process is there, but nothing happens. Weird.
I don’t have any problem with the other softwares I use (Falcon 4.0, CH, MS Office, Firefox, etc.), as far as I can tell.
