Still you should not run into an incomplete flightplan.
See PM.

The % BFL is not a reliable solution compared to the IAA (Initial Aim off Angle)

Okay, i was wondering if you really needed it as an aid to tell you if you did everything right, i see on the popup planning plates that there is a space arranged for that. hank you for the info, you kinda too away a big headache from me, but still for the sake of finishing what i started i can’t figure how to do it, eventually i will find out :).
Happy landings.

New version released.
See here for details and download:
https://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/showthread.php?5293-Weapon-Delivery-Planner&p=66013#post66013There are 2 additions that you will notice the most.
PPTs are now filled on the map. How much transparency can be set by the user.
TankerTracks and JSTAR circles are also filled.Another feature is that you can select the SearchRadars. The ones that are located on Airbases, Depots or Armybases.
As with the normal PPTs, with only a few mouseclicks you can add the radars to your PTT list.
SearchRadar circles are shown on the map in purple, just like in Falcon.The range of the SearchRadars depends on the range you have in your PPT.ini. If you don’t have a search radar in your PPT.ini, it will take 25nm.
The search radar has been added to the quick buttons “Radar Zone” and “Engage Zone”
You can change the range is you like. To do this, go to the DTC tab->Pre-Planned Threats.
Adding or changing the PPT.ini is done in the “PPT Management” part.You also have the option to see the friendly SearchRadars if you want.
Enjoy…

One step fw towards FalconView. 8-)

That is awesome Falcas !!

Thanks for your continuing efforts to constantly improve this bit of software.
A real must have. -
Big time Thanks FALCAS.
One small request. Is there an easy way to edit WDP “Theater.dat” file, so we can include our own modded theatres? Is this one, the only one file needing some edition, in order to make it happen?As usual. Great job!

Hey Falcas,
While trying to install WDP 3.5.4, it said I already had a previous version installed (3.5.3) and I needed to delete it before I can install the update. I can’t remember having had this in the past?
It’s probably just me, but I’d personally prefer to also keep an older version on my computer, one that I know to work well, just in case I run into some issues with the new version.
E.g. for some reason, 3.5.4 didn’t find some DTC data (EWS, Radio/Nav, Systems) upon first start-up. I had to insert this data manually again, without being able to check in 3.5.3.Again, I think I might be alone in this, but would it be possible to remove this check in future updates, or provide the option to continue installation regardless?

Greets,
Eagle-EyeMy install also said I had a previous version. Like you, I did not recall that before. I did delete the prior version, but was not able to install the current version. I went back to version 3.5.3.
Edit: I was able to install but when I went to run the program, that is where I got the error.

Un-installing the previous version has always been the case.
Most porbably you had already removed the previous version before trying to install the newer one, thus not seeing the message.Gr Falcas

If this is the case, your previous callsign.ini was not correct.
What do you mean with manually insert the data?
You do know that WDP comes with a set of default values. You can find have these by loading the backup of the corresponding systems.Gr Falcas

Until yesterday, I still had 3.5.1 installed though, along with 3.5.3. Had no issues while installing 3.5.3.

It worked with 3.5.3, so don’t know what could have corrupted it in the 2-3 minutes between deleting old and installing new version?
I know WDP comes with default values, but e.g. for EWS, I use personalised dispense programmes, that were deleted or not recognised by 3.5.4.

I am not sure to which file you are refering at this moment. Are you talking about your callsign.ini or the backup files?
If you used the same callsign as before, WDP just reads your “old” callsign.ini and should have worked as before.
But if you used a different callsign, that will explain everything.If you are talking about the backup files and you have overwritten the default backup files that come with WDP (don’t do this, save it with a different name )
Than this explains it as well.This has been tested by multiple people the last couple of days and is working as it should.
But in the end… Does it work as it should now?

I was talking about the Callsign.ini, which I confirmed was the same in-game and in WDP. This was read perfectly in 3.5.3, but in 3.5.4 it failed. I lost radio/nav settings, EWS programmes and system settings (all cleared or reset).
The program works fine on following starts though…

Hi Falcas.
Just to say that you flight display of flying the Duch Falcon in your webpage is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
Congrats!… and thank once again you for WDP, of course

Thanks :mrgreen:
Pics are a couple of years old already… They need an update

Hey Falcas,
I installed the WDP today, but I’m having a few issues as only the Aegean theater shows up. All other theaters are gibberish or not listed and it throws me an error message when I try to change to another theater. (See pic below)
I checked that WDP was looking at the correct location for the .lst file.
C:\Falcon BMS 4.32\Data\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\theater.lst
list of all known theaters
terrdata/theaterdefinition/kto.tdf
terrdata/theaterdefinition/korea.tdf
terrdata/theaterdefinition/korea2.tdf
terrdata/theaterdefinition/korea3.tdf
terrdata/theaterdefinition/korea4.tdf
Add-On Battle For Balkans\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\BattleForBalkans.tdf
Add-On Battle For Balkans\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\StandAlone.tdf
Add-on Battle for Sinai\theaterdefinition\bfs2.2sp.tdf
Add-on Battle for Sinai\theaterdefinition\bfs2.2mp.tdf
Add-On Aegean\Terrdata\theaterdefinition\Aegean.tdfI spoke with a fellow simmer who was having the same problem. I tried to uninstall and reinstall with no luck.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
DunnageEDIT: Uninstalled, restarted computer, installed, restarted computer and VOILÀ! Success! This is a great tool. I find new ways of using it each flight. Thanks again, Bryan

Hi Falcas, thanks for WDP I use it all the time!
I had to rebuild my PC after losing my RAID array, so I’ve installed everything from scratch. When loading the callsign.ini I get an exception in GetCallsignNavOffsets. I don’t think there are any defined in my ini file - it’s trying to cast as string to an int and I reckon it’s trying to use an empty string (since no setting exists for NavOffsets in my ini file). I think you can recreate the problem with just an new callsign.ini - I have the same issue with both the default Viper.ini and my callsign file.
