Weapon Delivery Planner released

As a new returnee to Falcon in the form of BMS 4.32. Please excuse, what I consider to be a dumb question.
The WDP is downloaded as a .rar file. I have no idea how to integrate/install it into the BMS file. Do you just drop it into somewhere?
I feel embarrassed asking:(
Cheers.

you don´t have to drop it in anywhere it´s a program of his own - might wanna download the manual as well – for shure you will have clear sky afther all

Another dumb question.
How do I print the coordination card?
I can only print the data card. -

The manuals all deal with the operation of the program Not how to install it.
The down load consisted of a “WDP2.8.rar”. There was no installer program with it. So I dont know how to install it?
Sorry for being Dumber!
Thanks.

Hi accipiter,
you need a tool like Winrar to extract the files to the Folder of your choice. After that you can use the tool as discribed in the docs.Cheers

Hi Badger
There is no direct print function for the Coordination card. Never came to it and most probably the print function will be removed out of WDP.
instead, save your datacard.
When this is done, click on the lowest button on the left of the datacards screen.
This will take you to the directory where everything is saved.
You will find a JPG of the datacard, coordination card and the map for use on a tablet or ready to print.Gr Falcas

Hi, that was also one of my questions, after I got up and running!
I also wanted to say thank you for this superb utility. It really adds to the simulation.
No one else has such dedicated and expert coders, thats why BMS is a premium product.
Cheers.

Hi Falcas,
First i like to thank you for creating and updating the excellent Weapon Delivery Planner. I am currently using 2.8 and mainly use the briefing and Map on my extended monitor while flying.
I am flying in campaign and my routine is to choose and setup the mission in BMS, then save campaign file, switch to WDP open mission and load the campaign savefile.
Last mission i encountered a problem however. I loaded the campaign mission and filled in the packet number. clicked on my flight. Normally the loadout screen would come up, but this time i got an error “index out of bounds” and no loadout screen.
I could continue the program and see the mission map, so not the biggest problem for me, but maybe my info can help.Cheers

Thanks for the report Obi1.
Can you send me the data requested in the PM I have sent you?Gr Falcas

Thanx for the new version…
wow trying to read the new data I got lost…
About campaign I see for ppt there is a backup function. Ok we do the backup. I want to refly the mision and have my thread and ppt’s and lines reloaded what do I do?
The trick as of reloading before entering 3dworld is the same? or something changed?
I believe someone must write a guide just for campaign… LOL or I’m getting tooo OLD???
Please please Falcas have this wonderfull tool inegrated to Falcon UI.

This is linked to the fact that BMS is automatically saving the DTC (rewrite) when you clic on “FLY”
Was initially a good iead, but actually it is not … that is a real PITA when we want to keep the same DTC (replay the same campaign mission i.e.) or when we are using WDP (need to ALT+TAB after cliking FLY to re save the DCT under WDP…
Please please Falcas have this wonderfull tool inegrated to Falcon UI.
IMO, you will never see WDP integrated to BMS’s UI.

why? snif snif. This is superb addon and since it’s free and it’s coded why not?
unless it’s written in different code, VB for instance, and can’t be integrated although code conversion between some code language is easy.
Why have all that trouble save load transfer files with wingies other flight members etc… It could also be used as flight leads send automatically the files to other members when they hit fly or even better before in the briefing stage.
Anyway… I believe in TE’s and large Packages this tool would be great with the above features. Meaning Mission creator send the basic info to flight leads. Flight leads send details to flight members. Also this for MP campaigns. -

Because … if we believe what coders are saying, touching UI is a nightmare. And it is (I think) much easy and practical for Falcas to develop WDP out of BMS code. It is also why it is not included in the installer.
