Plan-G / Re: Flight route sometimes not visible
July 03, 2014, 09:47:12 AM
Tim,

I couldn't stand the fact that I could not find out what was wrong, so I digged into the problem a little.

I found out that the problem with the visibility of the flightplans is caused by the ICAO Region codes in the FSim Commander flightplan. It is standard put to "KK" instead of the valid ICAO code (i.e. EH for Holland).

For instance, the WOODY intersection in the FSim Commander flightplan would be:
<ATCWaypoint id="WOODY">
            <ATCWaypointType>Intersection</ATCWaypointType>
            <WorldPosition>N51° 24' 20.00",E4° 21' 59.00",+000000.00</WorldPosition>
            <ICAO>
                <ICAORegion>KK</ICAORegion>
                <ICAOIdent>WOODY</ICAOIdent>
            </ICAO>
        </ATCWaypoint>

The ICAORegioncode should be set to <ICAORegion>EH</ICAORegion> but the author(s) of Fsim Commander decided to set this standard to KK (found this in the Fsim Commander forum, topic Flightplan ICAO Regions by ScottecLEMD dated 27-oct-2012)

When the "KK" ICAO-code is set the flightplan is not visible in Plan-G, you can only see the waypoints as small triangles.
When I take the FSim Commander generated flightplan and edit it to contain valid ICAO-codes the plan will be visible.

I realise this is in fact a FSim Commander problem, but would it be possible to visualize the flightplan even with invalid ICAO-region codes ?

Hope this helps ...

Alex

Tim,

Thanks for your reaction. By the way, Plan-G is an awsome piece of software, once I used it I would not be without it anmore :)

I attached two flight-plans. The "15 EHAM-24... plan is not visible (that is, only the waypoints being displayed as small triangles) and the EBBR - EHRD -plan is displayed in full

Version is Plan-G 3.1.0.82, using it on two computers, one running Windows-7, the other Windows-8, both the same result.

Plans created with Flightsim Commander.

Thanks for looking into my problem,

Alex

Plan-G / Flight route sometimes not visible
June 30, 2014, 01:48:21 PM
When loading a flight route sometimes (or rather most of the time) only the waypoints of the route are displayed.
Only in some of the cases the total route is visible (so the waypoints and a black line connecting these waypoints).

I compared the file of the routes where the total route is displayed with files of routes where I only get the waypoints (so without the connecting black line), but can't see no structural difference.

Does anyone know how to get the total route on display in all cases ?

Thanks,

Alex

Plan-G / Plan-G with Windows XP
November 13, 2012, 01:52:18 PM
I am running Fsim FSX with Windows-7.

I had (and still have) Plan-G on the same PC, working fine, but now I want to run it on a seperate PC running under Windows-XP (and connect them via local LAN).

However, when I install Plan-G on the Windows-XP PC it does not run well. After start-up I can not move the map by clicking and dragging it. Other functions seem to work, even build the database from the FSX-PC info via the LAN, etc.

Tried in on three separate PC's, all with Windows-XP, all the same negative result.

What am I doing wrong ?

Plan-G / RE: Frequently Asked Questions
November 13, 2012, 01:43:36 PM
IN FAQ "How can I restore my Plan-G settings to default" two programs are mentioned: MapReset.exe and ClearAllSettings.exe.

Where can I find these programs ? The are not in the original map from where I started te install and neither in the progam files\TA software\Plan-G v3 subdir.

Running Plan-G v3.0.1.50 with Windows XP
