For management of the DTC files in MP there has been a big improvement. Iāll write a larger post about what it will do.Enjoy,

@Falcas question
is it possible to load the ICAO or IATA airport names in the DTC and be viewable in HSD ?
i know that HSD can showing only PPT but can we load them also like yellow names e.g LGSA or CHQ and be viewable in HSD?

Hi,
The new update contains something new for MP game. The goal is to get the correct mission.ini in your Falcon directory. This could be done by hand, but now WDP will take care of this.
Suppose you are about to fly a large MP flight and everything has been planned by the mission planner. The package contains 5 flights and all flights have there own mission.ini file with different PPTs and lines. So you want the humans have the correct mission.ini file. WDP is handling that with this new version by use of the backup of the datacards and file management. The mission planner should zip/rar up the complete mission directory that can be found in \WeaponDeliveryPlanner\Datacards directory.
Example:
Mission Name: KaesongStrike
Package nr: 1234
Flights: Viper1, Cowboy1, Eagle1, Hornet1 and Phyton1Zip the complete KeasongStrike directory.
The zip should now contain all the datacards for the complete package.
Send this file to all player, they should extract it in the \WeaponDeliveryPlanner\Datacards directory and keep the file structure.
Every player starts WDP and uses the āLoad Datacardā function. (On the Datacard tab)
Browse to the flight that you are about to join and load the backup of the datacard with the Flight name. (Example: Viper1.bdc)
The backup will be loaded and you will also be asked to load the ini file or not. Do load the ini file as this is the correct one with the data you want.
After loading the backup datacard you will see all the data in the datacard and also the data for the ini is in memory.
Save your DTC and the ini file will be copied to BMS. The same can be used for campaigns. In the backup datacard file is written if the data is saved from a campaign file. When this is the case, the PPTs and Lines are copied to your callsign.ini when you save the DTC.A lot of text, but using it is just a matter of a couple of mouse clicks.
If you have done this once, you see how simple it has become.Enjoy Falcas

Hi Geraki,
Sorry, this will not work with the current BMS code.

Hi,
One of the problems people encounter when using MP in BMS for the first time is the COMMs.
A lot of times one or more players have changed a preset comm frequency and they canāt talk to each other.
Although WDP has always had the āDefault, Red and Blueā buttons in the radio section to set all the preset frequencies to there default values, it has not always been immediately clear if or what was wrong.
In the latest update (2.6) WDP will show you which frequency id different than the default.
The following picture shows you how.You can also see the red light beside the āSave DTCā button. This is showing you that the change you did has not been saved to the DTC yet.

142 copy
Thanks -
I have a feeling the Names.ini feature is often overlooked.
Falcas what would you say was the top hidden features of WDP for those that do not read the docs?
-
Hi Falcas,
First thanks a lot for this beautifull utility
I wonder if you could enhance it by allowing to paste an image in the mission notes,like for example a saved map of a pop up profile?
Another request would be to allow the user to generate a swing check page, like this picture:CHeers,Hatch

The Red Dog Airport Diagram and Approach Plates have 144 listed.
I did find this RWY 14 ILS Approach Plate (Jun 2010) for Gimpo (RKSS) with 143

Hi Falcas
You already know Im a huge fan of the WDP and with the lastest updates I hardly make any TE without also making the datacards.
The more automated the faster to make and I would like to ask if you could have default victor frequences when the TE is loaded. Now the IDM numbers work nicely so perpahs assigning victor 1 to first flight, victor 2 for next flight ect would be a way to further automate the datacard.
I also have some problems retrieving datacards that were made e.g. a day ago. I see the backup file in the directory but cannot load them. Anyone else having the same problems ?
Awesome software and very usefull for briefings and flights

Hi AS,
The problem you are getting has nothing to do with .NET or the WDP version for that matter.
Have a look at the DTCā>Main page and see if the BMS location is correct. Also have a look if WDP has the correct TDF location.Gr Falcas

Hi Husky,
Busy days at this moment, so V1 and V2 has to wait a bit.
The diffilculty you have with loading older datacards is due to an improvement with the backup of the datacards.
If I do find some time Iāll fix this so that the data of older saved datacards is not lost.Gr Falcas

Hi,
In WDP 2.6, trans level in ATIS is now set to FL 180. But when you read the charts TL is still set to FL 140. Why this change?
Cheers -
According to South Koreaās Civil Aviation Safety Authority website, the transition altitude inside the Incheon FIR is 14,000 feet, and the transition level is FL140.

Just a little database issue, fixed in the next update.
