Weapon Delivery Planner released

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:

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,

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!!!

Good evening, Falcas! My question is: How can I change the position of the WDP steerpoints how do I make in Falcon? I can do this in WDP or would I have to do this in Falcon and reload the WDP? You could make a full video tutorial showing how do you use in your planning of a campaign mission? Excuse me questions that may be obvious to you, but I’m new with WDP … I have watched your videos but did not see anything talking about this issue of movement of steerpoints …

Hi Krikalev,
Mission should be created/changed in Falcon itself. So place/change/add/remove your stpts in Falcon. When you are done with your basic mission planning, start WDP and there you can do the reset.

wingspan has no effect in gameHi Gear5,
Yep, the Large and Small is swapped. Fixed in next release.
C2 BustAlt, which version of WDP are you using? I have checked it and all works fine.
Wingspan, This is a bug in BMS, not WDP.Gr Falcas

v3.47, i change BA to 2000, save, quit, open WDP again, it back to 5000. and AD stay 1.5
maybe u could add a small text after “wingspan”– “N/I not implement”, so no new guy bother u again. -
when I try to manually enter coordinates in the DTC page PPT. Get this error.
Thanks Falcas, by the WDP
P.D
The error is always repeated and references the last SA introduced. -
I don’t see any error? I do see a question.
But I already see what the problem is. Will fix this.gr Falcas

Setting wingspan to N/I makes no sence at all. As it is implemented and has worked fine. BMS just needs to be checked.gr Falcas

Hi Guys,
Hi Falcas,I do seem to have a problem when loading some TE ( TAC ) missions with WDP.
I create some TE for training purposes ( screenshot 1 ), but when trying to load them with WDP, I can’t get or see some packages. ( screenshot 2 )
They work fine in BMS.
It does seems that it only loads 1 FLAG or TEAM.
When trying to search for the package it results in a error : Not find in this country - Change country, …. ( see screenshot 3 )I’ve been searching on the forum and manual for it, but haven’t find any clue as to fix this.
Txs in advance for any valuable feedback,
Brgrds,Frederic

Hi Frederic,
Have you taken a good look at your TE, I mean in BMS itself?
Look at your teams??? Give them a propper name first.Gr Falcas
-
Hi Falcas,
Are the names and/or syntax relevant ?!
Never tought this would be the problem, as the TE works fine in BMS.
Of course I’m also a newbie, but did manage to put quick and dirty TE together for training purposes.
At least they do what I’m looking out for and not representative of any WAR strategy.
This one build around 2 Teams with victory conditions set to train at dogfigthing ( with Guns ) against some slower Warthogs and having if needed an escort for clearing my six.
I will change the names and try again.
To avoid making the same error, what should I look out for when giving names ?!
Once again txs for your quick reply and help.Met vreindelijke groeten,;)
Frederic
