Plan-G / Re: Small Suggestion For Future Version
October 19, 2012, 12:32:11 AM
I came up with another minor suggestion for a future version.

Maybe add a button that halts the constant recomputing of the elevation cross section from the DEM files while constructing a plan.  I notice while building longer flight plans (>500nm) that the pauses after adding or deleting a wayoint become pretty long. I think it would be better to be able to keep it from crunching through the DEM files for building that elevation cross section until I've finished deciding what path to take.

Plan-G / Small Suggestion For Future Version
October 16, 2012, 05:51:21 PM
Since my Goodway v4.2.0 flight planner refuses to work with X-Plane 10 (fails to revert back to working properly with v9.70 now), I started searching around for a replacement, and came across Plan-G v3.  Since the makers of Goodway are acting entirely clueless as to why it won't revert back, I'm using Plan-G now.

While I think it's a great program (love being able to see elevation data), I would suggest one thing to incorporate at some point for us X-Plane users. 

1. Add in the High (Jet) Airways as an option to check/uncheck like the Low (Victor) Airways. Maybe this is on the wishlist for FSX/FS9 users as well?

I forget why exactly now, but I never used the Goodway plugin with X-Plane anyways (conflicts with the X-IVAP flightserver plug-in?) so if those two things were added in, it's a perfect replacement for Goodway for all of my flight planning purposes.


p.s. With build 50, it initially wasn't displaying the ISEC intersection database, but for some reason going back and clicking on the "Display X-Plane 9/10 Nav Data" button solved it.  Sometimes things disappear for no apparent reason, and I have to go uncheck and recheck Map Overlays.  Also, maybe build 50 is still glitchy with reading the METAR file because it wasn't initially. Just minor things really.
