Plan-G / Re: No Intersections showing up.
December 16, 2019, 09:39:38 PM
Dear Tim,

Thanks for your comments - my post did include the version I was using. However -

Here is the result of my research today.

Over this afternoon (Now retired) with slow progressive reduction in FSX scenery library items being ticked (enabled) and a PLAN-G DB build after each (with the results recorded in a document) and the PLAN-G map inspected at Zoom levels down to #10 after each build for the display of intersections, I have been able to whittle the offending scenery file group (directory) down to being in my Addon Scenery folder.

Further Investigation into this Addon Scenery folder by swapping exclusively a suspected specific file and folder in and out with DB builds in between and a PLAN-G intersections display check has pointed conclusively to the problem. Earlier in the day I had downloaded and run the aero.sors Navaids update and fixes freeware with a result that it put a file called WorldINT.bgl into the Addon Scenery\Scenery folder. It is this file that is causing PLAN-G DB build to fail to display intersections.

I suppose I will have to leave it disabled until PLAN-G can handle it.

I hope you can make use of this information to add a bolt and braces search procedure to catch problems like this.

If anyone would like to see my investigation document then please email me at my username address.

Thanks.

Boris  :)

Plan-G / Re: No Intersections showing up.

Good Evening all,

I have a 'No Intersections' problem as well. After many different attempts, FSX map does shows them but with nearly 500,000 of them PLAN-G will not show them. If I reduce the FSX library selected items to FSX Base items, ORBX Europe, ORBX N.Germany, ORBX England and the latest Aeor.sors Navaid updates, PLAN-G will show them. As someone stated before, although PLAN-G DB Build says it is processing the intersections, none actually show. My scenery.cfg file has 495 entries and I use SceneryConfigEditor before each flight to choose my area for the flight plan.

I have ensured that at the zoom level of 10, the Navaid Marker Options box for ISEC's is set to 9 and that I have checked with FSX map that I am in an area where I know intersections are placed.

Lower airways do show as do ICAO and RDPM Airspaces.

Maybe 500,000 intersections is a DB build overload! (but I doubt it). As FSX does show them, I have to assume the problem is still with PLAN-G.

I am using version v 3.2.2.167 and have been a PLAN-G user for about 8 years and a simmer for 12 years+.

I look forward to an offer of a reason (for interest) and solution (for practicality).

Thank you.

Boris.
