I can install Plan G on my laptop although it does'nt have FSX installed on it. Could I transfer over a subset of the FSX scenery for testing purposes? I would need to know what BGL files(or others) to transfer for the US north east area. Even just the New York area would work. Basically anything that would generate an overlay without having to move all 3 gigs of scenery data. It is possible there are some windows updates that I hav'nt installed on this system that could be causing this. Sometimes I get a little tardy with updating this system.... it takes a real man to admit that I know.........
