      Hi,
      I started a campaign and I am trying to use the WDP.
      I load my mission with is a .cam file (not sure what is the difference between .cam and .tac).
      Anyway, I make all the changes and save DTC and callsign, all for my specific flight of course.
      When I load the game and take off I notice that not all my changes are saved. e.g. the pop-up planned points are saved and I can see them on the ICP.
      However I cannot see the Lines nor the PPT I changed.

      I understand (hope I understood correctly) that those changes are saved in the callsign.ini and this file should be loaded only after I hit the “TakeOff” button on BMS.
      For this there should be a time in WDP.
      Well, I cant find the timer button on WDP!

      Could someone explain the correct sequence?
      Is the .cam file the correct file to load (I could not find .tac file for this mission)
      Where is the timer button and when should i set it?

      Thank you….

        Make all flight changes in the briefing, save dtc ,save campaighn, alt-tab,start wdp, load your .cam file, select package and flight, make all the changes in the WDP you want, dont save dtc in wdp, alt-tab back to game, load your flight, when in cockpit alt-tab to the desktop,in wdp click save DTC then alt tab back to the game, start your jet, load DTE in the mfd.

          Man… that is a very old and incorrect way. Why do you think the timer has been removed from WDP 😉
          After you are done in WDP, save your DTC in WDP.
          Go back to BMS and in the UI load the DTC again. Now you have all your PPTs, Lines ect in the UI.

          Fly and have fun.
