Thanks for the quick reply!!
About my first question, thanks, I will look into the database.
About my second question, when the campaing engime fragg a mision of my interest, in the BMS UI i mark the the treaths with the PPT Steerpoints, the target steerpoint, etc. then i save the campaing and the DTC. Then I open WDP and I load the mision to make the final tweaks. As i have previusly save the DTC, when WDP question me, I answer yer. I that what I am doing wrong?
Best Regards
Chuno

Don’t answer yes…. answer NO

Chuno, I think if you have some steerpoints or lines from a different mission in the DTC you need to clear them or it throws WDP into giving a waypoint somewhere in China or elsewhere.
I’m not sure if this is what is causing this to happen but usually when I have that problem this is the fix I use.I do the same thing as you I make some adjustments to the flight plan, add PPT’s, lines and such in Falcon UI. Then save the DTC first, then save the campaign. When you load the mission in WDP and choose “yes” when it asks if you have saved your DTC it should work. Your PPT’s, lines and waypoints should be correct.
I like to assign targets to waypoints that are after the last flight path waypoint. I usually start with waypoint 15 thru waypoint 24 unless the flight has more than 15 waypoints (usually never more the 15 waypoints but I know some people have more complex flight paths than me). This makes it easy to direct the AI to attack different targets.

Don’t answer yes…. answer NO
So I’ll say it again… Don’t answer yes… answer NO
-
You know how that is…
-
I thought Carbide in post #1897 had a good reason for answering Yes. Falcas, you’re insisting to answer No. So when should we answer yes?
-
“So when should we answer yes” all the time … it make for a happier life !!!
-
Only if you have precision STPT saved. And they must be correct and for the flight you are going to use.
Yes I also find this a huge pain in the A… But it is what it is.
You can always check the STPT list in the DTC tab if you want.All the other stuff in the DTC does not matter for the question. They get loaded as they are.

I have often wondered if I was doing something wrong when I see the flight path with a crazy STPT in China.
I’m glad to know that it is just something that is how it is.
This tool is amazing and this little inconvenience is nothing compared to how useful this tool is! -
Wrong is a big word, but if this is happening to you, you do have a DTC which is not clean and has Precision STPT while it should not.
Yes it is basically a user mistake (wrong data in the DTC) which WDP tries to handle as good as possible.Gr Falcas

I get the same error with latest version of WDP (3.7.14.140). It has to do with file paths, it seems.
@Falcas, does WDP not like paths with embedded blanks, such as the blank between “Falcon” and “stuff” in this?
F:\Falcon stuff\Weapon_Delivery_Planner_3.7.14.140

The problem is not the WDP directory or blank.
You can do the following to “fix” this for now (future release of WDP has been fixed already)
Just load a mission. This will load the mission.ini for that mission.
Close WDP and this mission.ini file location will be saved in the setup.ini.
Next time you start WDP and click on the button you should be fine.Gr Falcas

Yes user mistake.
I apologize if it sounded like I said WDP was not functioning properly. It was I who was not functioning properly. That’s all I was saying.
Thank you again for the clarification.Best regards,

CarbideNope, was not taken like that. Just wanted to be clear as well.
But lets face it. RL F-16 does not have precision STPTs as all STPTs are high precision.
We need that as Falcon saves the STPTs with KM grid.
STPTs are saved in 2 files and could be out of sync as well.
Not cleaning/removing these from your DTC will just give you these kind of problems.
Its just one of the complicated things in BMS.Gr Falcas

Not your intention, but you’re bringing more fuel to my approach of pretargeting

Hi Falcas
Is Performance for “F-16AB RDAF” non-functional?
Best regards

“AB”?
Which one do you mean?Gr Falcas

I can’t get the PPT shown in my HSD
Maybe I’m doing something wrong and someone can point me to my failure 8-)
I’m playing a campaign in Balkan theater and this is my workflow:
- in BMS set Target Steerpoints for JDAMS, save DTC (if necessary for the mission)
- Save the campaign
- Open the saved campaign file in WDP, only choosing yes on the import question when i have entered target steerpoints
- Open MAP-Page and let Auto-PPT do its magic
- Check DTC if PPTs are in the list and all other settings fit
- Save the DTC in WDP
- In BMS click my flight, click my plane and then takeoff with ramp
- After loading the DTC on ramp and align of INS there is no PPT visible on the HSD, it’s also missing in my callsign.ini
Am I saving the DTC at the wrong time and it gets overwritten by the BMS-DTC? When should I save the DTC in WDP so I get my PPTs?
-
Save the campiang first before you save the DTC in 2D UI. If you do the other way round your mission ini which is created with save DTC in BMS UI is not the same name as your save.cam file
