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.

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

With block I mean a part of the coordination card.
Codewords, Holding plan, Target Area flow, Refrom plan….
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 … 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 “naming” that WDP will give you automatically, you end up with the following in your WDP/datacard directory. (Use the “Cards Directory” button to quickly navigate to these)
WDP/Datacards/“MissionName”/“Package NR”/“Flight Callsign”Pack up the complete “MissionName” (including sub directories) dir and pass that along to the other participants.
Under “Settings” 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 “Load Datacard” button and he has all the information it needs.If you don’t want to adjust anything, the ini files and all the datacards, maps ect are located in the WDP/Datacards/“MissionName”/“Package NR”/“Flight Callsign” directory.
In the next version of WDP I will make sure that after you have loaded a backup datacard you can also use the “Save DTC” and the ini will be placed in the correct Falcon directory.

You can also read the manual…
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.

Hi there FALCAS. First of all, I really want to thank you for your great tool ,and the continuous support you´re giving.
Now, I have a question:
The new DTC/Targets tab has implemented the nice “targeting” 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 haven´t found any description/video, and with a quick overview, I think that “LOAD/BACKUP” under “Backup LINES” will save and restore whatever we fill in the 100 slots we have, and “Clear all targets” and “Save List as jpg” are self explanatory, but …
…The big question I have is: What the “Save DTC” will do?.. Where those information/lines/data goes? and I´m not sure, either, about what the “Callsign” and “TE” buttons does.Thanks in advance.

Hey Falcas,
I have a problem since updating to 350. Whenever I try to open a mission I get prompted "failed to craete map 2.345656778 (numbers are incorrect btw).
Furhterore is the timer still neccesary for update4? I can load up the ini in campaign via the dtc and the lines/ppt’s and stuff show up in the ui
Thx,

Hi,
Yes, the Load/Backup is for making a backup file that you can use later. Or this file can be given to another user. This way you can make a target list that someone else can use as well.
The “Save DTC” buttons at every tab/place in the program will save your callsign.ini and/or TE.ini. The 100 targets gets saved to the DTC.
At this moment you can create a the list of targets. In the Datacard tab you can find a “Save Datacard” button. When you use this, the Target list gets saved as a JPG (together with all the other cards and maps). This JPG can be printed or you can put them on a tablet or reader.
Why it is saved in the DTC… I can tell you, but then I have to kill you.For the question about the Callsign and TE buttons…
Please read the manual (on the website under Download) or watch these videos.

Hi Slack,
The problem with the map will be solved in the next release.
You are correct about the timer. In update4 you can use the LOAD button in BMS to load the lines/ppts.
I just didn’t remove the timer function yet.Gr Falcas

Bit confused here…Just an honnest anwser will give you the best result, if you don’t know, use NO.
So that is the straight answer… But what does it do.
If you load a mission, WDP is getting 2 different STPTs list to work with.
In the TE.tac/campaign.cam you have the flightplan for the mission. The coordinates are what you see in the BMS UI.
But you might have creates some precision STPTs for the flight you have selected. Those coordinates most porbably are not the same.
Or you have precision STPTs saved, but they are not for the flight you have selected in WDP.
So what the question is: Did you save the DTC for this flight? Is exactly what it asked you.
If you are sure it is for this flight and you answer YES, the coordinates from the DTC are used in WDP.Clear enough?

… The 100 targets gets saved to the DTC.
…Why it is saved in the DTC… I can tell you, but then I have to kill you.Thanks for the answer!
I´ll have to take a look at this “saving to the DTC” because I didn´t dare to test it, yet. Then I may figure out what can we do with them inside BMS UI or while Flying…. but anyway, I feel like dying today, so just in case I don´t find the answer by myself:
How do we access those 100 tgt points in the cockpit? [Kill me!… Kill the Lazy Bastard!!:twisted:]Keep it up!
And Big time ThX!!! -
Hmmm still no. I believe u must always define where u are… what I mean u ask me: if u saved the DTC… from where? Falcon or WDP? This is the most confusing part for me. Sorry I know I bust your balls but I have a lot in my mind and I work on many different things on the same time and I don’t know why but WDP doesn’t much my paterns and it took me long time to get where I am now thanx to your kind efforts and patience…
As I see it other way why don’t u merge them all the time?
Since they are for the same theater?Now the other way around…
I don’t have anything touched in wdp… Clean install first time open. Loaded my callsign.ini from my Falcon install (Yes still on a network run… (WDP runs on a different laptop and Falcon on a desktop pc) I have Falcon on the laptop also but I go and open the callsign from the desktop… I have share folder and everything seems to work properly)
I open a mission in Falcon I save the DTC I save the mission
Then I go to WDP and I open the mission.
Then comes this question… what should I do? As u say I must say no… right?Second scenario…
I make in WDP some stp’s and some like tacans, friendly or foe sams (I have build a TE where I have those). So they are the saved ones as u call them that I can use for every mission right?
So in Falcon I open an MP TE I save the DTC, I save the mission.
In WDP I open the mission then the question pops up what should I answer to see those? yes? will I also have the changes I just made in my mission, and the TACAN stations I declared earlier in WDP?If I got it right the question should be something like do you want to load and your default WDP saved settings? Maybe the question is the same but it’s confusing for me… I don’t for everyone else (specially newbs… is that clear?).
Why? I’m lost in all those Falcon’s DTC, WDP’s DTC, mission ini callsign ini and I must recall all the time which is which so I don’t fubar… why? cause mostly now I fly online and I don’t have the luxury to have 20+ppl like oooppps guys sorry wait I must reload and redo all those stuff…Edit: More confusing??? I don’t have any general for every mission stuff in WDP made yet (I haven’t got in to that yet) so why does it ask me then? Shouldn’t your app keep track if I have such? Is there a way to make such without WDP? So when it’s clean why does it ask me?

You didn’t get the hint, let me give you another hint.
Trying to figure out how it works with your BMS install is a waste of time as in the version you have it is not included.gr Falcas

“TOUCHE!”
Thanks… You saved me from the paint of futile search for an answer… but throw me to a more deep and dramatic PAIN… the infame and evil pain of the “wait 3 to 4 weeks” for the mighty BMS 4.33!!!
You were right… You killed me!!!
Still, this is going to be a great feature… as everything else. THANKS FALCAS!!!
