Hello Falcas,
I don’t know if this has been asked before, but could you share how WDP calculates the Min Fuel column on the steerpoints data sheet?
Thanksit calculates consumed fuel between 2 waypoints from starting the last waypoint with a fixed minimun of fuel requested to ensure the landing in security (ideally 1200lbs for block 50) : it calculates backwards step by step for each previous waypoint

Sure, but a bit more details would be great. How much fuel per mile? Does it take into account altitude? airspeed? climb/descent?

yes it takes into account altitude
I used:
20lbs/nm for low level
10 lbs/nm for mid level
5 lbs/nm for high levelresults are quasi similar with WDP
I supposed data maybe come from this document : https://info.publicintelligence.net/HAF-F16-FlightChecklist.pdf

How can I uninstall WDP? Trying to install the latest version, but keep getting an error when unzipping saying that 3.7.15 has stopped working.

WDP can’t be installed, nor unistalled, it’s a folder you copy or erase.

WDP is still using outdated KTO Airport diagrams. I reported this Feb last year.
I have converted the KTO diagrams to WDP format, if anyone is interested.
WDP uses ‘airportname’_diagram.gif
KTO uses ‘airportname’_airport.pngThough not all 'airportname’s are spelt the same.
There are some major changes to the diagrams, checkout Osan for example.
It’s interesting too, how Theaters use their own formats and folder structures too.

Hi Falcas
the heading of Choongwon’s runway is not correct on Charts available into WDP : they need to be updated
I read 16/34 instead of 18/36

you can update them yourself. copy them from 4.35 charts folder to WDP charts rename and convert to gif. Falcas just stated one post above that this very low on his priority list
-
Thanks;)

Here’s my convertions

Unzip the attached ZIP into WDP/Charts folder (make a backup of the original first) I left some “missing/removed” airports in the folders prefixed with an underscore (I couldn’t find these on the interactive map).

I’m having a problem using WDP with 4.33 U1.
When I launch WDP I get an;
’ *:\Falcon BMS 4.33 U1\data\Campaign\SAVE\radiomap.dat’ ’ error. WDP is working well with both 4.34 and .35.
When I check said directory there is no radiomap.dat file. Why is this not being created? Fresh install of BMS all 3 versions.
I have deleted my current pilot and created a new but still getting the same error. Any thoughts and help please.
WDP Version 3.7.16 build 152
Best regards.

Hey,
This is a file which belongs to BMS install. However, this was not included in 4.33.
Only versions about 4.33 have this included and so it is working as you describeJust press “OK” and continue.

Is there a way to add Somalia to WDP?

Hi Falcas. I’ve noticed that in the AAR training mission (TR_BMS_005_AAR) in BMS 4.35 U1, the tanker preset is missing when I look in DTC > Radio/Nav. It’s been replaced with the Guard frequency and says Guard in the comments. Have I done something wrong or missed something?
Also, is there a way to include the preset numbers on the datacard for reference when in flight?
Also, also…. for that training mission, no ATIS information is shown on the datacard.

Sure, just add it to the Airport database which comes with WDP.
You need to add the Theater, Country and all the Airports in the according XML files.Gr Falcas

Yep, looks like you are missing something, Just joining the mission and taking a seat in an aircraft does not save the DTC.
So the DTC remains the same as what it is. WDP will load the DTC and shows you what is in it at the current time.Did you save the DTC before you loaded the mission in WDP?
Also, also…. for that training mission, no ATIS information is shown on the datacard.
This depends on the TWX file. Need a little fix as the TWX version for this mission is pretty old.

You don’t want to have the presets on the datacard. You know that automatically ground is always 2 and tower is always 3, your tanker might be on 13.
But you can mess up your DTC and the presets are not saved correctly. So you want to know what the actual frequencies are (Yes presets are just stored frequencies)
Or what is you want to go to tanker B or C and the preset is set to tanker A… you want to know the frequency, not a preset.Gr Falcas
