Indeed, we can switch to OpenStreetMap or OpenCycleMap; the first shows us the streets, the second the terrain. But for VFR flying with a moving map, it is very convenient to have a combination of both, like with Mapquest OSM. Anyone knows whether or how such a combination can be created?

Agree with author marc2990 up to a certain date/.time as of recently I could not get any map of the possible choices in Plan-G except the last one OpenCycleMap. OK for terrain but no use as for following a route via roads etc. or finding road/roads to get to your drestination in VFR situations.
Why don't we all (Plan-G) users agree to paying for the Software like we all do for good FSIM programs like Fltsim Commander for instance. It helps the Author and
makes us the users happy
Cheers and Happy Flying

Hi John.

Depending where you installed Plan-G, whether C:\Ta Software or C:\Program Files\TA Software. It is in the subfolder Plan-G where the file is. Hope this helps and good luck

Hi Tim,

Yep sure did, but no joy however. Studying the Plan-g report abit more I am coming to the conclusion that it is Windows (XP Pro) that for some reason does not like what Plan-g wants to execute. I also have tried by installing that version on my PC where FSX is installed. I got a bit further here with Plan-G starting up and I was being able to create the database, load fltplan and various menu options, however as soon as I wanted to move the window (am using multiple monitors) the same Windows error message appeared. I am thinking of the MS auto update maybe installed something that does not agree with the processes.
Anyways, deciced to completely uninstall Plan-G including all the traces in the registry and installed an earlier version of Plan-g on the networked PC and is now working fine. Getting the "there is a newer version etc etc"
when starting the program. But for the time being I can continue doeing all my preplanned flights and do some serious VFR flying following the various roads en route as shown on Plan-G.
that is why I LOVE this program and thanks for making it possible for the flightsim community to enjoy it.
I will check things more after my flights with this problem.
Cheers
Richard

Hi Tim,

I have a not responding prob as well and wonder whether the "Clear all settings" will also fix this for me.
Have v 2.0.5.493, been using it for a while without any probs what so ever. Until today, flew in the AM all fine but when resumed/restarted the flight, Plan-G would not start and the following popup appears everytime I tried to run the program.
" PlanG has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience."

Hi Tim,

Thanks again.
Well b4 trying the ClearAllSettings program, I decided to try a connection thru SimConnect. After tweaking the Simconnect.xml file with the help of the Plan-g PDF doc file, I actually managed to get FSX an Plan-G talking to each other. I am glad I can fly again using Plan-G but am not game to update to the new version yet, so am still using v.2.0.3.486. Also using FSUIPC as well, as most of my cockpit harware use it. So far so good and thanks to all involved with this subject.
cheers
Richard

G'day Tim,

thanks again for the tip. Now however I am beginning to think that using Plan-g is not going to be.
As mentioned b4, uninstalled v.2.0.3.486 (after I finished a flight with it no probs) I installed the new version
v.2.0.5.492, lookled fine until trying to connect via FSUIPC to FSX. Error message about program experiencing a problem and needs to shut down blah blah blah. Uninstalled it en did a reinstall, no joy. So I thought, did have no probs at all with 203, I installed it back but low and behold, when trying to connect to FSX, the same error message popped up again. So here is my 1000000 dollar question, what is going on.?
Botton line is, flew with v 203 ok until installing the new version. Nothing software/hardware was changed.
So trying out the old fs.dll is not even possible anymore.
Could there be a stuff up in the registry maybe, well who knows. by the way here is part of the error message

Error signature
Event type:  clr20r3    P1:plang.exe    P2: 2.03.486    P3: 4d347521
P4: mscorlib    P5  4.0.0.0    P6: 4ba1da6f    P7: 42aa    P8: 3b
P9: system.argumentexception

cheers

Hi Tim,

Yep it sure is a mistery to me as well. If the previous version connected just fine with FSUIPC, why not the update?  Yet if the new version is started on the same PC as FSX, no problems.
So if individually all programs run ok, then there is somehow a connection problem when networking FSX and Plan-g v.2.0.5.
I just have to stick to the previous version and get rid of the announcement of a new update popup.
cheers
Richard

G'day everyone.

Sorry to jump in, but I have a similar prob. Have been using Plan-g for a while and never had this problem after upgrading to v.2.0.5.492. Have always connected thru FSUIPC just fine up to v.2.0.3.486. But the new version starts up fine with all menus working etc until I hit the connect butten, up comes a dialog box stating that Plan-G has encountered a problem an needs to shut down etc etc.
Have setting set to FSUIPC. Both client and server PCs showing "connected". Did all the manual stated regarding, downloading, installing etc.  Can run it just fine without a connection to FSX and it looks great.
I use XP Pro with all SPs, FSX acceln.
Any suggestions much appreciated
cheers
Richard
