Plan-G / Plan-G and Navigraph data
December 21, 2017, 08:39:35 PM
Tom, any updates on when Navigraph data will be available in Plan-G?  Once incorporated will I be able to create flight plans using stars and sids like in PMDG FMS?  I'd like to then export them to GTN.

Not asking for much.....:)

Thanks
Bill

Hi Tim,
I'm interested in this feature also if you can find the time.  I can help test also.

 :)  Sorry Tim.  That's what happens when we get old...   :D

Should Plan-G see the new .bgl files in the scenery folder when they were in individual folders in the addon scenery area?

Thanks
Bill

I moved only the kord .bgl  files to the addon\scenery\scenery folder and it looks like it fixed the issue.  The updated information is in Plan-G now.  I'll try moving the other files out of the folders and see what happens.

Update:
Tom it looks like that fixed it.  I checked a couple of the addon sceneries I had and it loaded them fine.  There are two ways to add scenery to FSX.  One is the folder approach and the other is simply putting the .bgl files in the scenery folder without folders.  It looks like in my case the folder approach doesn't work with Plan-G.  Let me know if that is as designed or not.  Also if designed that way are you considering making it work using the folder addon option also?  If you need anything else from me let me know...

Thank you as always for the quick reply and your program.....  I love it.

Tom, I looked at the file dump and don't see where it looked at any on the addon folders listed in the addon scenery except for the files in the scenery\scenery.  I set a picture of the file structure of the addon folder.  Hope it helps.

I did try moving the kord folder into the scenery folder it read and it still didn't show the changes....fyi

Tom here's the string to the KORD.bgl files
C:\FSX\Addon Scenery\KORD_RS\scenery

I uploaded the latest log after building the FSX database.

Thanks

Tom, I think this is the file you requested.  I also add the .bgl file for Kord I added into the FSX addon scenery folder adding / updating the runways.

Thanks for the help

Hey Tom, I'm having the same issue with an updated version of KORD not updating runway and airport map information info in Plan-G.  Everything looks fine in FSX. 

I loaded the Plan-G3 beta version 3.1.3.113 and rebuilt the data base but it still isn't updating Plan-G for some reason.  Let me know if you need anything from me.  Is there a naming convention I need to abide by for naming my files in FSX? 

Let me know...

Thanks,
Bill

Update...... I have it fixed.  I worked with the owner of the navdata and he suggested that I change the file name and that fixed it.....

I changed WorldINT.BGL  to APWorldINT.BGL and the file was read.

It took some work and multiple post to get all the navdata there but success.......

Tim again...thanks so much for your help.

Tim thanks for the reply.  The file is compiled and I can't see how it is formatted.  The WorldINT.BGL file I added to the FSX scenery addon scenery library fixed it so I can see the waypoint WWTOO and many others on the FSX map but as I said not in either NEXT or Plan-G. 

When building the database Plan-G will read scenery files in the FSX addon scenery folder if data is formatted properly correct? 

Thanks as always...

I finally have all my waypoints in FSX.  Now I need to get them built in plan-g.  How do I get plan-g to read a .bgl file in the FSX addon scenery folder and build it into the plan-g database?
#13
I would like to 2nd the request for the ability to export flight plans into PMDG format. 

Tom, any idea if this is a planned in the near future?

Thanks,
Bill

Yes I agree.  That is what I came up with also.  I simply eliminated the custom waypoint and used a FSX waypoint close to the one I wanted to create and used it.

Thank you for your product
