Weapon Delivery Planner released

I guess you don’t need it since you found the issue, but just in case you need the info later on:
Southern Resolve campaign
Ramat-David RWY 26
Fair weather
2x AIM9M
2x AGM65B
2x TK370Gave me a rotation of 156 and a refusal of 8.
Thanks Jinro,
Found the problem and is fixed. See posts above.

I would love to see more failures in falcon. but I guess most people want falcon to be a combat sim, not a procedures trainer. ah well.
I am impressed that you got a non zero result with an input of zero for RWY length.

Not necessarily procedure trainer … managing a combat mission is also dealing (and assessing) with equipment failure … could be a simple light, or indicator, to the radar, or even a dubious engine … … this is a big part of the real life also, we do not have always a 100% perfect functioning a/c!
-
well DJ, I look forward to the day that falcon has to deal with that kind of thing!

POP UP procedure - WDP and UI switchery
Have been using WDP to set up POP UP deliveries on a mission lately, but am worried that I’m possibly going about things the long way or indeed the wrong way. Could someone take a look at the following steps to see if I’m doing things correctly (have just covered items relevant to setting up the POP UP profile and am ignoring things like best attack heading etc. for the moment)…
1. Load up mission in UI
2. Assign Precision Steerpoints to the target and to a suitable IP point.
3. Open DTC in the UI and SAVE.
4. Open WDP and relevant mission.
5. Click on YES (steerpoints etc. in DTC)
6. Set up POPUP parameters (VIP in this case) and note VIP to PUP heading in particular.
7. SAVE DTC in WDP
8. Open Falcon UI again
9. LOAD DTC.
10. Adjust track of route to IP to better align with VIP to PUP heading obtained from WDP
11. SAVE DTC
12. SAVE mission
13. FLY – load DTEIf I want to fly the mission again, then presumably everything should now be saved in the various .ini files and all I need to do is LOAD the DTC when in the UI?

Not a bad way at all. However, you can also set the precision STPT in WDP itself.
No need to save the DTC at point 11The Popup values are saved in your Callsign.ini and not the TE.ini.
So depending if you change or delete the PopUp values, you will see them again the next flight.Gr Falcas

I’m sorry to be so dumb Falcas, but I still don’t see any explanation that I understand. Do you have any info in one of your videos? I don’t see it.

Hey Falcas,
I saw a small mistake in the performances tab. The danish F-16’s are still flying with the PW-200 engine. Now I don’t know if it is like that in BMS …
-
with Aegean i have hard time switching side when loading a mission. Once I chose blue it stayed there forever. To switch to red I had to change theater, faced some map error messages, then switch back to Aegean,get another error about the map, then load the mission and now it shows the window to choose blue or red.
Same thing every time.
Tested 3 times so far.
Running 3.5.0 -

Not much to explain…
Create the list by selecting your targets.
Go to the Datacard and save the Datacard (not the DTC)
Print out your list or put it on you tablet.
For the rest, start to read at post 674-680.Gr Falcas

Flying in the Falcon Online Battle for Sinai server I can not import data for missions I create to the mission data card. Returns an error message. Uploads DTC with no problems, tho. Is the obstacle with me or with WDP?
-
Hi Guys,
somebody can explain this part in the " Coordination Card " to me please,
what are the Numbers 0 to 9 are good for?
what is B-ALT;B-Head;B-Num;B-Fuel ? also Roll Call-EOB Update - Takeoff to push - TOT Window is clear same goes for Re-attack Window and Last Out.
Now, how can I us that, in other words what does it mean and what should I put in the colum ?

In RL sometimes you have to speak on the radio in “the open” (no cipher, no Havequick… no encryption, so anyone can make Intel out of it-“COMINT”).
Under the numbers 0 to 9 goes the “RAMROD”. A special common lenguage WORD that do not REPEAT any letter and can be use to Authenticate other people on the radio (GCI/AWACS to/from Jets) in what is commonly know as “Challenge and response”… For example, the word “BENCHMARKS” in the following example:-Pilot.-“Magic, Magic, Cowboy 11 checking in, ready fot authenticate…”
-AWACS.-“Cowboy 11, authenticate BRAVO-NOVEMBER” (BENCHMARKS)
-Pilot.-“Magic, authenticate ECHO” (BENCHMARKS)Each letter is related to it´s position 0 to 9, so we can use it to encript any number, like coordinates or other numerical info. I think you already get the idea on how RAMROD is used, right?
B-ALT (Base Altitude), B-HEAD (Base Heading), B-NUM (Base Number) and B-FUEL (Base FUEL), are used with the same purpose wich is not giving the real number on the clear radio.
So they can give any information related to this “BASE” number.
Once they are used, they are compromised, because, within a little time, and specially if used more that once, it´s easy to decript the combination… Specially if you use BASE numbers in combination with RAMROD, and they have you under RDR control. That´s why the RAMROD is aplicable for only one week, and if used, needs to be reported and a new RAMROD will be choosen.
Remember that nowadays, people have “secure” radios(KY, HQ, Link16), and this methodology is still aplicable, but rather as a back up plan if your secure comms fail.

I am currently unable to import mission data from the Falcon Online campaign server (unhandled exception error); however I have discovered a work-around that may be of interest to others. By default, the data card and DTC had some obsolete flightplan steerpoint data, which overwrote the actual flightplan data when the WDP data was written to the Callsign.ini file. Simply by deleting all the steerpoint data in the WDP DTC, all the other DTC data gets written to the Callsign.ini file, leaving the planning UI flightplan data intact. So WDP will write all its line, PPT and target data and your flightplan will remain as planned in the UI.
