Hi Falcas - can you clarify something for me?
If I plan a pop-up mission using WDP and “save DTC”, that then saves the info to the mission .ini and callsign .ini files doesn’t it?
If I then select another mission, but don’t use WDP, then it seems that all the VRP symbology still appears unless I go back and open WDP to deselect VRP in the Nav Offsets page.
So if you use WDP for a pop-up mission, to stop the associated symbology appearing in every mission you do, you have to go and deselect it in WDP?
Has this changed? - I don’t recall having this problem with earlier versions.

Hi,
The NavOffsets are only saved to your callsign.ini. This is why you will see them no matter what mission you fly.
Yes, you have to switch it off if you don’t want to see them anymore. And this has always been this way.gr Falcas
-
Indeed, if you saved pop up attack on steerpoint 5 in WDP, it will display nav offset near stpt 5 on every mission you fly unless you put it off via WDP (or via the DED IIRC) !!
And thanks again Falcas for that awesome tool !! BTW, I wondered is there a manual that teaches how to use WDP with campaigns ?!Kalonji

Have a look at WeaponDeliveryPlanner.nl, under Movies you will find a couple of tutorials.
And there are the articles that you can find at the download section.Gr Falcas

Cheers Falcas, gonna check this out !

I downloaded the latest version of WDP. I noticed it was a “.rar” file. What is the best program for opening a “.rar” file? I see in Downloads.com that there are a number of free programs.
-
Use this program for *.RAR files:
The program is free and best extraction options.

@Dracfalcon
7Zip or WINRar will do the trick@Falcas
is there any way to set the TE weather through metar?? i am asking you because the weather forcast in wdp is encoded as metar… -
Hello Falcas.
I am still using the WDP and the MC for editing squadron missions where I am.Now I’m editing in the new scenario of israel. (0.96). And both programs give me error. Do not let me see the map.

Hi,
Didn’t have time to install and test 0.96, but I suppose it is only a small thing.

Hi,
Installed and tried IT-0.96 and I don’t seem to have any problem.
However, that could be because I am using a newer version of WDP.So have a try with this new version:
WDP3.4.7
http://www.weapondeliveryplanner.nl/download/index.htmlWeapon Delivery Planner 3.4.7
Main- Extensive airport database overhaul.
Selection
- If there are no flights in the team you had selected before, you are asked which team you want to join.
DTC
- Added more protection code for loading the PPT.ini

Thanks for such a quick update FAlcas of WDP, now is OK.
But, the MC has the same problem.
Put a boat near Ciprus. And you bring proof of wp to boats.

Hi Falcas,
great app., thanx for your efforts. Do you think RES 1680x1050 will be available sometime soon?
-
Thanks for the update. v3.4.6 was having issues with campaign files. I could open them but there were no packages listed. v3.4.7 works great.
-
HI Falcas,
i think there is a timer function in WDP that does something like that(you get the same result) ask Falcas, he sould be able to answer your questions
As someone suggested is there a possibility to have the loading of a DTC ( CALLSIGN INI for instance ) timed as a workaround for an ennoying problem encountered whereas the BMS code does reset my (custom ) STPTS in the callsign INI file ? :headb:
( see Thread https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?12902-TRN-mission-files-and-variable-g_bLoadDTCForTrns )
Txs in advance,

Alright, after having sorted out a lot of misunderstandings regarding the DTC ( TXS again Falcas ) , I would like to share with you the possibilities of using WDP for those out there who praise the MOTTO " GET IT AS REAL AS POSSIBLE" when it comes to flying the jet with DEP and ARRIVAL procedures in their navigation.
My first impression when starting learning BMS a couple of days ago where the lack of flexibility and HSD cues as regarding to flight plan management when talking about SID and STARS.
Flying those SID’s and STARS ( based on the work of RED DOG ( Olivier Beaumont ) ( cfr. combatsim checklist ) ) without some cues on the HSD for situational awareness wasn’t from my point of view very representative. ( Yeah well after years of CV FS with MFD’s and powerfull FMC’s )
But after getting some more insights and some tips from Falcas and others, it became possible to get those cues on your HSD. You can do it all with WDP.
Just use PPT’s that you create as custom list for every SID OR STAR you want. Even for those so difficult to master DME ARC procedures it becomes easy to have some situational awareness on your HSD.Refer to the picture where you will find the ILS RWY 36 STAR for KUNSAN.
You got your IAF and other important fixes as well as your DME ARC showing up :From now on I’m a happy BMS simflyer
Brgrds,
Frederic

I think using just radio navigation sensors available on board in F-16 is quite enough for flying SID/STARS and more realistic anyway than ‘drawing’ them on the HSD, or preloading SID/STAR wpts in DTC. There are hand-held GPS for what you want in r/w, otherwise just learn to fly IFR in the same manner like real pilots do (i.e. radio navigation again).

Dear all, dear Falcas,
I recently installed WDP 3.4.7. Shouldn’t a “loadout” window (with the F16 open after I open a mission and select a flight and before I get the datacard screen ? I’m not a frequent user of WDP by I think this is what happened in previous version; Am I wrong ? Is there a bug ?
Thank you for your help. -
No, is not a bug.

Hi Falcas,
I think there is a bug here.
If I select TOSS parameters in VIP mode like this:
in the datacard page, Attack Type is wrong (shows TOSS VRP) and Delivery Data is wrong too:
If I check Nav Offsets in DTC, VRP is selected.
If I change the rotary to VIP, data don’t change in datacard page, Attack Type. In TOSS mode, allways VRP TOSS is showed.
IF I go again to TOSS screen to check that VIP is selected and then return to Nav Offsets in DTC, VRP is marked again.
In short, when TOSS VIP is selected, data is displayed wrong in datacard page, Attack Type and Delivery Data.
HADB and PopUP I think is right.
Thanks!!!
