Weapon Delivery Planner released

Here is the screen from a fresh install;
You see, no ‘Open Mission’ tab Regarding pushing buttons…… The co ordination card has always baffled me, when I ‘Click to Load Pic’ what the hell am I looking for in the popup box ? I can’t see any .img, .jpeg etc files in the default, where should I look? Many thanks for your help and an excellent program.
Best regards.

Any picture that you have created yourself. Some defaults have been supplied with the tool, see: “…WeaponDeliveryPlanner\Datacards\PlanPic”

Greetings. Glad to say that I got WDP to work in my PC. Had to Re-install BMS though. Great job. Thanks very much. Jay.:D

Falcas be advised, that if someone inputs wrong callsign on first run, the whole WDP will be INOP. There will be the standard JIT Debuger message, and no program function will be available to the user. Probably a simple check if there is such callsign present, prompting to change if its incorrect, should suffice.

Thanks for the heads-up. Not something I ever tested. (Who would do a thing like that?)
But after WDP has started, you can always change your Callsign again.
DTC->Main tab.I’ll add a check for that.
Thanks again.

Falcas, I have noticed that in my WDP install, if I try to plan a pop up attack, the given bearing of the OA1 cue is displayed incorrectly on the datacard page. On the pop up page, it displays correctly, but on the datacard it gives a different bearing.

Hi again. WDP is really great. Along with the “Kneepad Updater”, its an invaluable Tool for BMS. Have an Issue though! Apart from the default BMS Campaigns, I only got the Aegean installed.(with the " Pilot Body" Mod in both theatres). WDP, along with the “Updater” works perfectly in “Korea”, but can’t seem to get it to work in the “Aegean”! Have changed WDP to “Aegean”, and after Loading and saving a TE, when I go in game, the pages on the Kneeboards haven’t changed.(still displaying Korean Map and Info). I’ve noticed that in the Aegean Theater, the Info which is displayed in the Kneeboards is that from a previous Mission which I saved prior to INSTALLING the “Pilot Body” into the Aegean Theater. In “Korea”, I don’t have any problems. The Kneeboards are updated every time I do a new Mission. Hope this makes sense! Am I missing something? Thanks. Jay.

the kneemap updater only changes the default Korea theather (8019.dds) If you want the file to be active you have to copy it to the other theater or…. (like i did)
create 8019.dds symbolic hardlinks in other theaters that point to the default 8019.ddsfor example
run dosbox as admin in the specific theater korea object folder:
mklink /h 8019.dds “D:\Falcon\Falcon BMS\Data\Terrdata\objects\KoreaObj\8019.dds”edit: the first dds file is the new created hardlink in the directory you are in
the second (“…8019.dds”) points to the origionalfor extra info

just copy the file to the theather directory.

I am new to BMS and have just recently installed WDP. I was actually doing most of my learning with the stock callsign “Viper”. I created a new callsign in BMS and played a few TE and such but never saved the DTC. When I loaded WDP and entered the new callsign, I got the error described above. Thankfully I figured it it out and saved the DTC in BMS with the new callsign and all is well.
Thanks Falcas for the great utility, what an experience I am having with BMS. I am sorry I missed this sim all these years.

This is a picture of my Radio Nav tab in Weapon Delivery Planner.
The Weapons Delivery Planner puts the Coordination Card data, not the Radio/Nav data, into the Comms jpeg file like this.
Did anyone else have this problem. What can be done about it?

I installed 3.6.4 and have problems with Battle for Balkans stand alone from falcon Online. All other theaters work fine.
I am receiving that same message as Fubar2Niner:
MicrosoftNET.framework
Unhandled exception has occurred in your application. If you click continue, the application will ignore this error and attempt to continue. If you click quit, the application will close immediately.
Field not found: “Flight.Arrive”I have the latest Microsoft NET.Framework installed.
When I uninstalled 3.6.4 and re-install 3.6.3, I now receive this error message and cant get the old version to work.
Error
File not found: c:\Falcon BMS 4.32\data\campaign\Korea\Balkans.idxAm I doing something wrong or is WDP 3.6.4 not compatible with Falcon Online Stand-alone Balkans theater?
Yes, Yes. I have done everything to install this update right. I have done many installs with no problems only on this update.
Thanks for your help. -

Maybe I’m saying things the wrong way, but I’ll say it another way that I see a problem.
After I click “Save Datacard” the box shows up that specifies the files that were saved for my flight. The third file is Cowboy 1_Comm.jpg, which I take it to mean it’s supposed to have Comm data.Here is a picture of the files in the Datacard directory.
The fifth picture is has filename Cowboy 1_Comm, which I take it to mean that it’s supposed to be a picture of the DTC Radio/Nav tab data.Instead, its a picture of the Coordination Card when I think it’s supposed to be the DTC Radio/Nav tab data, and that’s my problem.
