Weapon Delivery Planner Improvement Suggestions
-
I have been using WDP for 5 years and it has become a part of my BMS missions. I need this information on a kneeboard in game to consolidate everything into something useful. Over the years I have seen a few things that might improve the usability of the software.
In the photo below the MTR FR MAR DR and DOR are not in the correct order. A better order should be MAR DR DOR TR MTR. Having MAR on the left close to the class decreases the distance to look for the MAR value relative to where the class is
When wanting to change or add a name in these blocks WDP clears out the names forcing you to re type everyone’s name again. Would be nice if it saved the names when the typing screen comes up.
Also, is there a way to allow for the user to change the default settings for flight tacan along with the package tacan.
Thanks @Falcas for WDP not sure what I would do with out it.

@AviationPlus
Go to your WDP directory and look for the Names.ini file.
Open it up with your favorite text editor.
On each line add the name you want to use in WDP.
Restart WDP. -

Not wanting to hijack the thread, but:
I think the Load Datacard and Save Datacard, and Cards Directory should all point to the Datacard folder selected in the Settings screen. Currently, they don’t.

@CriticalMass Not a problem I think there is always a good time for feedback. Thanks for the idea.

Unable to replicate, works fine here

Oh, OK. For me, my “Cards Directory” is set to a folder on my OneDrive (via the settings menu). When I click “Load DataCard” it always opens the WDP > Datacards folder in the file browser.
