Plan-G / Re: Plan-G and Prepar3D
November 30, 2013, 03:14:10 AM
Referring to inquiries earlier in this regarding find the paths/locations variables, I made this image:

Feel free to use it if you like, Tim.

Question/feature request: Would it be possible to put a switch or selectable drop-down box in a future PGv3+ to change the current database in use from: FS9 <-> FSX <-> XP10/11 <-> P3Dv1 <-> P3Dv2 (if the user has all these sims installed and sets the paths to each) ? Or would creating and switching between the different databases be too much trouble? I ask only because I now have two of those installed (FSx and P3Dv2) and I know each sim will have different installed scenery, and (probably) different airports available to the user.

I mostly use PG for VFR flight plans to share among friends as we fly online together. It's quite nice to be able to crank out a reasonably detailed low-level flight plan (ie: 50 ft agl along rivers and valleys) in a very short amount of time. It is rather funny, but I mostly use the "Open Cycle" map option due to the detailed elevation markings (example: Plan-Gv3 screen-shot of Bonner's Ferry area) So, thank you for a very useful tool!

Plan-G / Re: KML/KMZ DOES NOT SHOW
November 18, 2012, 01:56:41 AM
*sigh*

Nope, B50 won't open the England .kmz file, nor will it open a .kmz I found for Tongass Fjords (that one probably doesn't work because it has an extra layer displaying a sectional map overlay.)

Not that this is high up on the importance meter by any means... I'm just (re-) reporting the issue so it's on the list.

Necro-posting, but it may help some folks: http://www.tongassge.com/

...but this apprently doesn't work in PlanG. The .kmz file does open in Google Earth, and includes an additional pilot's sectional map layer overlay.

Re-opening an old topic, but I have the same issue. This time the .kmz file is from FTX/Orbx and shows the coverage of their new England scenery area. I have no trouble opening other kmz/kml files provided by FTX/Orbx within PlanG (which leads me to wonder if the file itself is made to a different/incompatible standard?)

The download location for the new England .kmz is on this page: http://www.fullterrain.com/product_eueng.html (or here for a direct link: http://fullterrain.com/kmz/FTX_EU_ENG.kmz )

I'm using PlanG version 3.00.46.

Edit: Woops... I'll update to version .50 and report back.

Plan-G / Re: Orbx NRM data update for Plan-G
May 14, 2012, 04:42:34 AM
For others like me who were a bit surprised the link above went nowhere but to the OZx main download page (and thus we had to search from there) ... try this more direct link:

http://aussiex.org/forum/index.php?/files/file/2569-nrm-plan-g-data/

QuoteThis is an update of my former Northern Rocky Mountains/NRM PlanG datas.

The datas now include all POIs that come with the latest Orbx NRM Patch 001, i.e.

- 20 additional unlisted airstrips in Alberta, British Columbia, and Washington State
- 39 backcountry lodges
- 71 Parks Canada Warden cabins
- 13 BC fire lookouts
- 20 additional ski areas
- windfarms
- open pit mines
- and other POI

Unpack the zip file and import NRM.csv into your PlanG.
