Hi,
Time for a little update, see the release post
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?5293-Weapon-Delivery-Planner
or have a look here:
http://www.weapondeliveryplanner.nl/news.html#wdp1
for the changes and the latest file.I want to highlight one change that you will probably notice a lot.
The previous Intel Officer has been fired due to a low score on his last evaluation report.
So a new Intel Officer has been hired. He is a new, young smart kid with lots of potential.
He is good with computers and did a lot more homework on the possible threads.
His communication skills are also better and he has good connections with personal in the JSTAR community. This means that if a JSTAR is airborne and on station he will get the latest hot information about the battalions. Meaning that you will get more spotted battalions at longer ranges.
You will also get information about newer SAMS systems like the SA-17 and SA-19, all depending if the have been spot or not.The JSTAR has a capability of looking at ground vehicles that are 200nm away. Also moving targets are spotted and identified. So having a JSTAR airborne is getting more important than before. If there is no JSTAR airborne, all spotting have to be done the old fashion way by flying an aircraft up there and spot the battalion. Also moving vehicles can not be relayed to the Intel Officer without a JSTAR, so no information on those threads.
Good hunting,
Falcas

You forgot to mention that we can now print A5 Datacards!
Thanks a lot, much appreciated!

Thousand Thanks, keep improving and adding other options to WDP.
Itās fantastic.
This perfect, but I think Iāve found a minimum error. And that is when you add other Patriots and Air Defence from our side. Not indicate the range of action.
Iāve marked with a small circle.thanks

Yep, good one Toquemao.
Found it already and fixed it. Was not only the Patriot, but also the Hawk.
Iāll check some more and will release a new version soon. Have included some more new stuff today as well.Thanks for the report.

hello Falcas.
I think I found another problem.
When active, AUTO PPT in MAP. Everything is right.But when I go to DTC this is what appears. No Range, No type

Hi,
New version of WDP released. Latest version is 3.5.0
The previous version of WDP had some minor issues, so here is a quick update that fixes all these problems.
Changlog here: https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?5293-Weapon-Delivery-Planner&p=66013#post66013
Download here: http://www.weapondeliveryplanner.nl/download/index.htmlMany thanks goes to Toquemao for coming with the issues and doing a lot of beta testing.
Great work mate!!!In this version there are also some new items again. The Coordination card got some new functions so you have to chance to import and export the separate blocks.
As an example is the codewords block. You can create a list of codewords and re-use them for every next mission.@Toquemao, have a look at the Formations in the flightplan. Just click on one of them after loading a misson.
Enjoy,
Falcas

āchange to import and export the separate blocksā ???

With block I mean a part of the coordination card.
Codewords, Holding plan, Target Area flow, Refrom planā¦.
Have a look at it and you understand what I mean.Gr Falcas

Hello, Falcas
Asked about the WDP.
is there any possibility of creating, MODIFY our DTC, Map Info, Datacard, coordination Card. etc ā¦ Without sending participants TE file. I do not want them to edit, modify or remove information from the TE, itself.
Thank you.

Hi T,
Sure there is.
That is what the backup function of the datacard if for.
If you save a backup of the datacard and use the ānamingā that WDP will give you automatically, you end up with the following in your WDP/datacard directory. (Use the āCards Directoryā button to quickly navigate to these)
WDP/Datacards/āMissionNameā/āPackage NRā/āFlight CallsignāPack up the complete āMissionNameā (including sub directories) dir and pass that along to the other participants.
Under āSettingsā you can set where this datacard directory is located. So you can even point this to a dropbox or cloud ect.The participant has to unpack this in his WDP/Datacards directory.
Then only have to use the āLoad Datacardā button and he has all the information it needs.If you donāt want to adjust anything, the ini files and all the datacards, maps ect are located in the WDP/Datacards/āMissionNameā/āPackage NRā/āFlight Callsignā directory.
In the next version of WDP I will make sure that after you have loaded a backup datacard you can also use the āSave DTCā and the ini will be placed in the correct Falcon directory.

You can also read the manualā¦
Mission Planning with WDP, can be found at the download page of the WDP site.http://www.weapondeliveryplanner.nl/files/wdp/Mission%20Planning%20with%20WDP.pdf
See chapter: Managing your datacard.

also instead of sendig all those u coult just post those pics in a mission thread so that other members are informedā¦ that way all will be in one place as a quick reference and noone can change anything.

Hi there FALCAS. First of all, I really want to thank you for your great tool ,and the continuous support youĀ“re giving.
Now, I have a question:
The new DTC/Targets tab has implemented the nice ātargetingā screen I used to use from MC (Tgt area, sketch, and coordinates, some times, no directly over the target). Great to see it implemented in WDP!!!
As I havenĀ“t found any description/video, and with a quick overview, I think that āLOAD/BACKUPā under āBackup LINESā will save and restore whatever we fill in the 100 slots we have, and āClear all targetsā and āSave List as jpgā are self explanatory, but ā¦
ā¦The big question I have is: What the āSave DTCā will do?.. Where those information/lines/data goes? and IĀ“m not sure, either, about what the āCallsignā and āTEā buttons does.Thanks in advance.
