unless there is some way to link with Google Maps, Plan-G for free seems doomed.  Would consider a modest monthly charge if necessary.

as above

this is hilarious, I just now logged on to ask the exact same question.

Given that developers, like Orbx, have produced a number of quality airfields it would be GREAT if one could mark those airfields. Maybe just a transparent yellow square, like a highlighter.

Please consider this

ah, good to know, now it is beginning to make sense

Ah, I was thinking because different aircraft have different characteristic, those differences would affect the flight plan.  So, even though an aircraft type is sometimes added to the name of a flight plan, the aircraft type doesn't have any effect on the plan?

When I do a flight plan with Active Sky Next, their flight plan asks for a rate of climb and a rate of descent in addition to cruise altitude.  It computes a Top Of Climb and a Top Of Descent. 

Just today I was experimenting and was flying on a Plan-G flight plan loaded into the aircraft's Garmin 530, with the same waypoints in a flight plan on ASN.  The aircraft flew at the cruise altitude from my Plan-G flight plan or maybe the altitude from ASN and at the TOD, began the descent.  Not sure what system was autopiloting the plane.  Guess I need to do some experiments, I'm confused.

I'm sure this must be in the manual, but I've looked and not found it. 

After you have created a flight plan, how do you add a specific aircraft from the aircraft you have already entered into the Aircraft Profile or change out an aircraft in a flight plan already associated with an aircraft.

Many thx

 Just installed the DEMs and pulled up a Plan Elevation and noticed that the MEFs were weirdly wrong and so was the elevation of the starting and/or arriving aerodromes. 

For example:

KMRY in the Flight Plan shows MEF=0, it is actually 250, and on the Plan Elevation it is marked as 3500.  KHAF shows in the Flight Plan and Plan Elevation as 3100, Information shows 65', which is probably about right.

Also, the Plan Elevation has no green, or any, terrain elevation profile.

Help.

UPDATE - DISREGARD
Just ran a search and found *.plg files in three different places.  No idea how that happened, but Plan Elevation will only work off file out of one place

You are quite right, not big iron.  I'm quite the newbie and am attracted to the GA with goodies - Eaglesoft Liberty XL2 and CR22GTS, Real Air Legacy, A2A Cherokee. Looking to eventually get into low end passengers/cargo with my own tiny air service via FS Captain and Cessna 208, PC-12 and TBM.  Watched a You-Tube about the Preflight on a bizjet, closed it after a minute in horror.

Thanks for the advice.  I actually have found some of the POHs and I'll do a few test flights to check out the flight model of my favorite/s.

Tim, this is the response I recieved when I inquired about them sharing their flight plan save format.

QuoteThe format is proprietary to Garmin. The Flight1 units are faithfully driven by the actual Garmin trainer. You have a truly realistic representation of the actual GTN - you have to enter your flight plan manually, as in the real units. While you can save the plan you enter, there is no "import" facility in the real unit, and there is none in the Flight1. That is the price you pay for the realism you get

.

That was helpful.  I had thought it would be specificly stated somewhere, even if not obvious.  My home base is KMRY at 257' ASL.  One of the main bits of data I was looking for was range for flight planning, about which I can get several bits of data from the Fuel Planner page in the Flight1 GTN 750 I just got.

That would be great.  Would the documenting result from something they publish or would it be something you would ask for?

I read that also, sadly it ain't so.  And that is according to their support forum.  I'm going to bring that up with them now.  Thx

 I've spent my time on the iNet trying to find the data requested by the Plan-G Aircraft Profiles.  However, it occurs to me that real world data probably isn't what is needed.  Rather, what are the specs the author of the aircraft file embedded in his code.  If the author set the max altitude to 50,000', what does it matter that the real world aircraft can only make it to 15,000?

My real interest, is where in the file would I find the data and what would it look like?

Greeting, I'm very new to FSiming and have been really happy to track down some great resources to make my entry much less painful  Plan-G seems to be one, I like it and can see it as addictive.  Another resource is the modeling of the Garmin GT650/750 navigation gear Flight1, which has been a huge help.  However, sadly, the two are incompatible.  The Flight1 GTN doesn't use the .PLN file format.

Are there any plans to tweak Plan-G to support the Flight1 GTN?  If not, might you consider it?
