Printing out campaign briefing
-
Hey folks,
I’d like to know if you can print out the campaign briefing. You apparently have that option, but it doesn’t do anything.
Can somebody help me out with this? Taking pictures all the time and looking at them isn’t quiet easy in comparison with having the full briefing next to youThx in advance!

The print function doesn’t print to a physical printer by default. It prints to a file by default which is saved in your Falcon BMS 4.34\User\Briefings folder either a txt file or if set in the Configurator Configurator -> General -> Briefing/Debriefing -> HTML Briefings as html file
if you wan’t to print to a printer in Configurator -> General -> Briefing/Debriefing untick option 1 “Briefing Ourput to File”

Odd thing about that, If I do that and hit print it asks which printer (I tried both of mine) and nothing ever prints… If I output to a file it creates a “briefing.txt” file in the Briefings folder but the layout gets a bit scrambled (mostly the Steerpoint section). I’ve opened with MS Word in Landscape mode for the best results, tried Excel but its not good… Most of the info is on my kneeboards anyway but it would be nice if it was a quick print with ALL the debrief info… Someday we will have multiple page kneeboards, I know it! :). For now I think the HTML option looks best…

As far as I recall, there is a nasty collection of tabs in the briefing.txt file. The tabs of different sections can be aligned fine individually with Notepad++ or similar, but it is almost impossible to apply just one alignment that will suit the entire file.
Great tip about enabling HTML briefing thru config, thanks

I recommend weapons delivery planner. You can save the mission and open WDP to open the flight plan and it has all pertinent information for the flight. I then save WDP and move the file to my one drive and use my iPad as an electronic kneeboard.

Since HTML is the best looking format, is there a way to make the game overwrite the previous briefing.html instead of creating a new one each time? This works for briefing.txt but not briefing.html. Also, is there anyway to add the home airbase Tacan and ILS into the briefing printout? Just one neat printout file.
