Hi Dunnage,
Very strange one you got there.
Nope, that list is not populated from the theater.lst.
The theater.lst is loaded by WDP, but used for other things.
WDP has its own database with all the theaters/countries/airports and areas ect. (already 916 different airport in this DB )
This is needed so WDP can also work stand alone and give you much more information.
For example, every threshold coordinate for every runway is availible and can be set as a precision STPT with a mouse clickWhy it did not read the database correctly the first timeā¦ hard to tell.

Hey Falcas,
I installed the WDP today, but Iām 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)
http://i948.photobucket.com/albums/ad325/BryanBedwell/WDP1_zps4b894737.jpgI 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 VOILĆ! Success! This is a great tool. I find new ways of using it each flight. Thanks again, Bryan

Hi Falcas - another issue Iām afraidā¦ looks like the EWS programs 2-6 are not being saved. Program 1 works fine.
-
For sure a knobās question, but I find that the wind direction and the RWY in service are not in coherence with the informations in the briefing.:(
Is there a specific operation to do ? or is it a known problem?
Sorry if this has allready been answered, but I didnāt find any answer with the search box.Windblow

IIRC, WDP cannot read ATIS info properly if the weather settings are set to probabilistic. Try changing the settings to deterministic. This should work.

These kinds of things where to be expected when the reading/writing code is completely redone.
Even with internal testing.So thanks for the reports!!!
Fixed in the next update.

This is not a problem at all. WDP does read the weahter data without a problem.
However, if you use āprobabilisticā in BMS, the weather is changing all the time.
The word āprobabilisticā should be changed to automatic changing weather.
The ATIS is a weather obsevation of the last 30min before releasing the ATIS.
So that the weather is not 100% as on paperā¦ welcome to RL flyingGr Falcas

Thanks EggsNFries. I will try that as soon as I recover my computer.

Thanks for this explanation Falcas. But I fell that a 100 degres changing direction in 30min and in calm and sunny conditions is a little bit too important. Isnāt it?
The same with temperature : In briefing 18 degres and with ATIS 29degres.
The good information is that is probalistic mode, the ATIS informations are not reliable. Important to know that. Thanks. -
If Iām not wrong, it is you who must define the variation values in weather tab.

In the weather part of the mission (BMS), you can see and change the values.
First check the current time of the mission.
Also check the departure time of your flight.
If the current mission time is before a block/part of the day, lets say it falls in the dawn-time, the briefing inside BMS will show you the temp for the dawn-timeā¦ say 18C.
But the flight you have selected in WDP is departing an hour later, which might fall during block/part day-time with a temp of 29C.
WDP will get the weather just before the flight, not the current time of the mission.See the difference?

Hi Falcas,
First thank you for this new WDP version, some really nice new features.
Think there is another small issue. The option āsave main menu on closeā , i think it does not save the values anymore, it does however still read and use values so thats ok.Regards

Hi Falcas,
Just trying to use more in-deep your awesome sotfware.:DI encountered a little pb with modification of STPT values via WDP.:(
After loading a mission in WDP, I tried to modify formation and altitude of some STPT. As in Datacard yellow field can be modified, in the DataCard Tab I modified Formation. Afetr that, I went through the DTC/STPT tab and modified the Altitude value. Saved DTCFirst constat : when going back to DataCard, the altitude is always the old one.
return to BMS, Load the DTC, neither formation, nor altitude change have been taken into account.
What did i do Wrong ?Windblow

Strange one you got there.
First of allā¦ That code has not been touched for years, so why does it do funny things now?
And what is even more funny. The error you are gettingā¦ 0.165 is a doubleā¦@Wingedsky, thanks for the log.
Will see what I can find.
