Plan-G / Re: Deleting duplicate nav aids
September 20, 2014, 01:59:42 AM
Tim
First, many thanks for the great product you have put!
I thought about finding the separate BGL files with the same VOR and NDB as you suggest. But then I realized that I don't see the duplicates in FSX (map view) neither in FS Commander. I suppose that PlanG reads navaids differently than FSX and FS Commander...
I am going to have to figure out how to (a) find the guilty BGL's and (b) edit them. I suppose I would have to use something like EasyNavs. I would appreciate ideas of how to do that
Best regards

Plan-G / Deleting duplicate nav aids
September 18, 2014, 02:01:54 AM
Hi
I have some VOR and NDB in plan G that are duplicated (one on top or nearly on top of the other)
How can I delete the ones I don't want?

I use FSX, WIN7-64

Plan-G / Double nav aids
May 29, 2014, 01:18:18 AM
I must have done something wrong because I now have each nav-aid showing twice in the Plan-G screen. Some NDB's are just a bit off betweem them and most VOT's literally in the same spot.
How can one fix that?
I have version 3.0.7.71

Plan-G / AGL Display
April 05, 2014, 12:39:09 AM
I love that PlanG shows the PFD and Radios on a window each
Would it be posible to show altitude AGL? Maybe a guage showing that on the same window as the PFD panel?

And that is why PlanG us unique. Because is geared toward VFR flights. No SID and STARS in VFR. Lots of IFR tools out there already !

Plan-G / View of Flight Plan (Tabular display)
December 25, 2013, 10:27:09 PM
I use Plan G Version 3.0.7.71 which I like a  lot.
For some reason I lave just recently lost ability to see the tabular display of a FP (under the "View" tab, then "Plan")
I click the Plan icon and nothing happens.
The same happens when I click on "File" and then I click "New plan".. I think I used to see the FP table form pop up here but now it doesn't.
I would appreciate help with ideas..

Plan-G / Re: Plan-G Performance
December 07, 2013, 09:31:26 PM
(1) Zoom started at 7 then zoomed in to 12
(2) Calgary and Banf, Canada (CYBW and CYBA)
(3) I only had 2 and then only 1 airports visible. Not too much else visible that one would call over filled with things to display
I tried with and without checking the boxes P and M under Home/Bookmarks.
The performance was so low the sys became almost ususable.

Then I decided to start from scratch, closing the flight, closing AS2012 weather, and starting a new flight in FSX and then bringing up again Plan-G.
The performance was up again quite good. Then I loadde the same flight plan again and everything went smooth.

The cause of the problem coulod have been too much historic data kept active in FSX, because I had done the flight 3 times without ending the flight in FSX and all of that under the same connected session with Plan-G. Since this was a 143 nm flight, at the end I had data from almost 450nm piled up in FSX and persistent in the link with Plan-G (I remember seing the trail plot of the 3 flights on top of  the Plan-G map).

Or, maybe this wasn't the problem... who knows..

Plan-G / Plan-G Performance
December 07, 2013, 05:48:54 PM
Thank you for the Plan-G Software.
I am new to the application and so far I like it quite a lot.

I installed versiĆ³n 3.0.7.71 on a networked PC, this way:
Plan-G PC was installed the secondary PC (Lenovo T410 Laptop Intel i5 2.67Mhz 8GB RAM 450GB SSD Win7-64).
FSX is installed in the primary PC (CyberPowerPC Hasswell i7 4770K OC 4.5 MHz 16GB RAM 500GB SSD Win7-64).
I configured port 4505 with IpV4 protocol by adding it to the existing simconnect.xml file I was already using.
I also added all the tile files available from www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/topo to the \DEM directory in the Plan-G directoy in myDocuments.

I tested the installation on a VFR flight programmed by my VA with a flight plan located here
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/105861640/Internacional/Canada/IF%20Baff%20Springbank%20to%20Invermere.plg
Whilst everything worked well, the performance (time responding to clicks on the sccreen with the mouse) by the Plan-G application was quite slow. From 2 to 5 seconds or more; often showing a 'not responding' temporary indication.
Since I had set originally my aircraft to refresh in the screen each 1 second (5 times faster tan the 5 seconds default), I thought that was the reason. I changed it to 2 seconds but the performance did not improve noticeably. After disconnecting from FSX I had an improvement but the performance with this flight plan was not as I hoped.
Any ideas?
