There is another free planner called VFRFlight by Lukasz Kulasek up to version 2.1 which has maps, I wonder what map source he uses. There seems to be a plethora. https://www.facebook.com/vfrflight
I find it less comfortable to use than Plan-G however.

It's a damned shame. Back to FS Commander for me which is a poor substitute for a moving map/planner imo. May have to look at Avlasoft.

I wonder which maps this chap uses, he claims 7. I have not had the opportunity to d/l his software but it is free, anyone in the know?

DOH! How could I have missed that. Thank you.

I get this too which isn't an issue so much in airliners, but when lo & fast the lag is quite noticeable. Is there a tweak which increases Plan-G's polling of FSX?

This is a marvellous program and I don't want to appear one of the whiners.

I presently am using FSX in DX10 mode utilising a pseudo-full screen mode as I run Plan-G on a second monitor (it is run off the same PC).  Previously I was running Plan-G on a laptop networked via FSUPIC & WideFS and there was not such a noticeable lag.

I still connect via FSUIPC as I find SimConnect unstable and all too often it crashes.

FYI - I had the exact same thing when trying to access VRMM (Male) 2 nights ago, Plan-G would just give up and vanish.  It was OK everywhere else I tried it (mainly North America). Today it works fine at VRMM and elsewhere.  The PC has been on continuously so it cannot be related to a reboot/memory issue etc.  I think it must be a Google Map thing as opposed to an error with the Plan-G program itself.  I use the program on a networked laptop to FSX/FS9/P3D on the main PC.  There is never very much else running on the laptop other than Vista32, WideClient, Active Sky 2012, AiSmooth.

Fabulous!  Just got better today. Up until today I have solely used this s/w as a moving map display on a networked laptop beside my FSX monitor.  Today I decided to examine it a bit deeper during an uneventful flight.  Lo and behold it is so much more.  I had not realised it contained such things as approaches etc..
This truly is a great addition to the hobby.  Thank you.
