USAF recently solicited to buy several thousand tablets for use as digital flight bag in cockpits of heavies, but not fighters AFAIK. USAF canceled the solicitation due to some intellectual property issues.

RE: Weapon Delivery Planner released
Thanks for the info. My question was generated by an interest in the general appearance of the USAF AWE planning software interface, which is different, I think, from FalconView.

RE: Weapon Delivery Planner released
Do the WDP screens resemble the USAF AWE planning system or Weapons Delivery Planning Software??

RE: Weapon Delivery Planner released
Question about how WDP works. Does WDP completely overwrite the callsign.ini file, or add to it? I am wondering whether or not target steerpoints and lines, for example, can be added in the campaign planning GUI DTC to the data saved in the .ini file by WDP. Or would saving the campaign planning GUI DTC overwrite and delete the DTC data saved in WDP?

RE: Weapon Delivery Planner released
Really appreciate all your help, Falcas, however success has proven very elusive. I prepared WDP DTC file, left WDP open, started campaign mission, paused sim, ALT-TAB to windows and re-saved the DTC file, click on BMS to return to cockpit, but still no PPT or lines on HSD. Thanks for trying.

Ahhhh. Missed the part about the 3D world. Thanks much, will give that a try.

RE: Weapon Delivery Planner released
I have tried everything I can think of. Reinstalled WDP and BMS. Deleted pilot and created and new one. Some day this mystery will be solved, but right now I am out of ideas.

RE: Weapon Delivery Planner released
OK, tried your work-around leaving WDP open in windows and saving DTC. ALT-TAB back to campaign planning map, but still no go. Driving me crazy. One thing: in the WDC DTC/STPT page, the COPY DTC button appears to do nothing. When I save the DTC file, it does confirm the callsign.ini save and the PPT and Line steerpoint data are listed in the callsign.ini file - yet they do not load to the sim. I get the feeling this is something pretty basic that I am missing. I am running Win 7-64, 4 GB ram, with ATI 6870 vid card.

RE: Weapon Delivery Planner released
Thanks for all your assistance. Oddly the line STPTs and PPT locations do list in the callsign.ini; however they do not show up on the campaign map or cockpit HSD unless I place them manually just prior to takeoff. I will try your suggested work-around, but here is where the large windows text font issue will be a problem.

RE: Weapon Delivery Planner released
I’m doing that… loading a manual save… save-day 1 08 06 22.cam. I’ll try autosave .cam instead.
Thanks mate for the quick reply tho…

I am having the same issue. I am planning with .cam files for both autosave and my D1 0525.cam saved file. The MFD, EWS and radio presets show up in the cockpit just fine, but no PPT or lines transfer to the HSD in either campaign mission. The callsign.ini saved message displays when saving the map data. PPT and lines show up fine in TE missions, however.
