I don't know... as I said, it worked. Maybe it was a problem with the progress bar, not reflecting what Plan-G was actually doing.

This is strange:

I aborted the whole process after about 20 minutes.

Now, as I have started Plan-G again, it is showing X-Plane nav data. Everything _seems_ to be there so far (although I could not check the entire planet, of course).

Would still be interested in an investigation of this issue, though.

Plan-G / Plan-G 3.1.1 takes forever scanning apt.dat
August 10, 2014, 04:44:23 PM
Hi,

I was using Plan-G 3.1 and upgraded to 3.1.1 today. To have a clean install, I uninstalled 3.1 first and also removed my Plang-G folder i "My Documents".

Now I want to create a fresh database for X-Plane (10.30b8). However, this takes forever, scanning apt.dat.

Any help? :(

Modifier dans panneau de configuration,
Rubrique modifier format des nombres le symbole décimal "," par un point "."
Redemarrer votre ordinateur, et le tour est joué. plus de Bug et tout fonctionne correctement pour les plans de vol Xplane 10

Yes, this could be a temporary solution, but also affects other programs (such as office programs), so the setting has to be changed very often -- so maybe easier to edit the flight plans in Notepad.

I think it would be better if Plan-G simply used the . as separator (instead of the system wide separator based on local settings).

Plan-G / Bug with X-Plane Flight Plans
August 23, 2012, 05:57:19 PM
Hello,

I've used Plan-G 2 for a while and have now switched to Plan-G 3 (Build 47) and X-Plane 10.10.

I've noticed a bug with the flight plans exported for X-Plane by Plan-G 3.

The following simple plan was exported:

When I loaded this plan in any plane's FMS, it did not work.

I then entered all the waypoints manually in the FMS and saved it. And look what I've found:

See the difference?

Plan-G 3 uses the , as decimal separator, while X-Plane uses  the . .

I don't know if Plan-G 3 uses the , by default, or if it simply uses the decimal separator that is selected in the operation system (a German Windows 7, in my case).

When I open plans exported by Plan-G in Windows Notepad and replace all , by . I can load and execute the flight plan fine, so the bug is not very critical, but maybe you want to fix it anyway. ;)
