041 BMS Electronic Flight Bag

Just a couple of things i came across lately that may be of interest to you or not.

BMS Electronic Flight Bag is an App for Android and it has just about anything you need at hand with regards to procedures and frequencies. All the charts are in there and loads more. You can get it here

The other thing is a website where you can upload your logbook and it expands all the information into something more comprehensive than the one used in game. I have never bothered with the logbook and keeping stats on my career etc i usully just start a new one whenever i re-install the sim., until now. Just got my first promotion after flying this sim for well over 10 years. Now i will die a happy man. Anyway if that floats your boat you can upload it here. If nothing else it's a good place to send multiple logbooks for backup.

039 A Bum Steer...

01-24 Target steerpoints (and waypoint steerpoints)
25 Bullseye
26-30 Mark Points (5)
31-50 Lines, (4 groups of 5 points)
56-70 Pre planned threats (15)
71-74 Incoming Mark points

DTE
2 files hold the DTE data,

D:\BMS\Data\SAVE\TEmissioname.ini. 
Gets used in TE's. only contains Target SPs, LINES, PPT data.

D:\BMS\Data\Campaign\SAVE\callsign.ini
gets used in campaigns (and TE's). Saves all the other DTE data, EWS, Mastermodes, Preset frequencies, + the Target SP.s, lines and PPT data for the campaign mission you are about to fly.
So
1. Only SP, Lines, PPT data can be transferred, and only for a TE.
2. All the other stuff is handled by the callsign.ini file, which cannot be passed on!
3. You only need to SAVE, if you have made any changes to the DTC data, either type.
4. Always hit save before leaving briefing.
5. Added items will appear in the pit, unless you have disabled the DTC auto load on RAMP, and you intend to do a ramp start, forcing you to load the DTC data from within the pit.
