The TCN have been changed to show the correct TCN channels that the AI uses.

And I thank you for this!

Hi falcas,
Now the optimal climbspeed for maximal fuel efficiency is displayed.
Can you als add / make selectable the optimal climbspeed with afterburner? (Like in the preformance tab? )Snowman

If you mean in the Datacardā¦ Its already in there. Just click on the yellow label for pitch/AB

Hi falcas,
I am not talking about takeoffvalues ( abort speed etc) because that ia what you currently have implemented ( very Nice btw)
But after takeoff:
Optimal climbspeed. This is now calclated with buster climb. Can you make it a selector to climb with afterburner?In some cases i do not mind spending a extra 300 pounds or so and be ready for combat flying at altitude several minutes earlier and in a shorter distance. ( for example a homefield close to the FLOT )

I canāt get WDP to download . What am I doing wrong?

Thank you very much for the help!

I just updated to 3.6.3 from 3.6.1 and have noticed that my tanker track line boxes arenāt rectangular anymore, Iām getting parallelograms and some are really thin. The preset airspace boxes are still the right shape. Thanks for your many years of work Falcas!
-
Line thickness have change, so that can be that you see thiner lines.
About the parallelograms, I have to look into it.
In the mean time I think you can find the tanker anywayThanks for the heads-up.

-
Hehe, yeah I can find them, I was just trying to be a good bug reporter By thin I was refering to the size of the parallelograms, like less than 5 miles from long edge to long edge (short edges seem to be the proper length, just not at a right angle). Thinnest one I have seen is 1 mile wide and 64 miles long.
-
Yep I got what you mean, I can reproduce it here so I know what you mean.
Thanks for the report.Gr Falcas

Can you explain what solved your problem? Iām having the same situation. I have win8.1 so I downloaded a win 8.1version of dotnet3.5 but had no change. I was hoping the new 3.6.3 would not have a dotnet problem but it does. BTW If I understand it, Windows 8.1 comes with dotnet3.5. You have to go into the control panel to programs and then activate it(???). So maybe some win 8.1 experts can help with this.

Please read the first post, it clearly says (and gives you the link) you need .NET4.0.

Falcas - Is there any way to change the way WDP assigns AA TACAN signals to your flight? I.E. I just ran a mission with my flight being a 4 ship flight. WDP shows the IDM adresses correctly - they all work as Iād expect. But the AA TACAN is given as 12y, 22y, 75y and 85y for 11, 12, 13 and 14 respectively. But my experience in the sim is that this is not correct, 1 should be @ 75y, 2 should be @ 85y, 3 should be @ 12y and 4 @ 22y. Iām able to adjust it since it is in the yellow field, but this is the default setup. So my ranging is not correct with the AI. Is there a better quick fix for this? Besides that little issue your software fills in the gaps for me very well.

-BabiteHi Babite,
WDP is showing you the correct values now and it is what the AI is using.
And it also depends on which flight inside the package you are in.If you are in the first flight, the tacan is set to:
12Y, 22Y, 75Y, 85YIf you step into the second flight, the tacans get set to:
13Y, 23Y, 76Y, 86YIf you step into the third flight, the tacans get set to:
14Y, 24Y, 77Y, 87YIf you step into the fourth flight, the tacans get set to:
15Y, 25Y, 78Y, 88YIf you step into the fifth flight, the tacans get set to:
16Y, 26Y, 79Y, 89YQuote from the BMS-Manual page124
If humans can select any channel and band, AI (Artificial Intelligence) aircraft are using fixed TACAN channels all in the Y band. AI first flight is set on 12, 22, 75 & 85Y. The next AI flight is the same structure but one number higher: 13, 23, 76 & 86Y. And the BMS code can support up to five flights of AI with this system. That means that you can always find the AI controlled aircraft in the first 5 flights.

Falcas - I have read that. Maybe Iām misunderstanding the implementation. Or maybe itās just my system wants to get back at me for something. Still, great program.

Greetings. Iām quite new to this great community Have been searching around the Forums and have recently come across this great piece of software. I am currently using 1 Screen to fly Falcon BMS and my somewhat ānewbieā question is; can you use WDP with a single Screen set up. I ask this because to my Knowledge. āKnee Padā View is not implemented in BMS. Iāve read about the āWDP Knee Pad Updaterā/āPilot Modelā Mods, but is there an alternative? Thanks. Jay.

Hi Jaycee:
WDP is much much more than having a Knee Pad in cockpit. I recommend you to search in YT for WDP tutorials, (Falcas has published great ones, but there are users who has done also great ones).
Then to answer your question to kneepads: you can export the mission data card generated by WDP and have it in your cockpit. Before, you need a pilot model (at least the legs) from Harpoon. This model originally loads a .dds image with all the airbases data. Its name is 8019.dds and lives in \Falcon BMS 4.32\Data\Terrdata\objects\KoreaObj. You can download a dds viewer to view that file.
Once you know what file is, you could export the mission data card generated by WDP, in dds format, and overwrite the 8019.dds file. You would need to do this for each mission.
The WDP Knee Pad updater is an utility that does this automatically for you.
I hope it all makes more sense now.
S!

Small bug report that should be relatively easy to squash.
Loading a package sortie with >4 flights gives a āarray index out of boundsā probably because WDP doesnāt expect more than 4 flights in package.
-
Another small thing; on the Threats page, when NATO and SAM Missiles are selected, the list shows the NATO AAA.
Thanks a lot for building this great program!
