Plan-G / Mapbox maps in Plan-G for Windows XP
September 21, 2016, 02:43:14 PM
Hello,
I'm running Plan-G on an old computer under Windows XP; so I use Plan-G for XP, version 3.1.2. As I understand, access to the Mapbox maps is only functional from version 3.1.3, and consequently not on Windows XP. Is there a way around this ?

Thank you for your answer.

Plan-G / Re: No ILS data collected by Plan-G

No problem, and it's indeed freeware !  :D
You can find this scenery on the Avsim library ; the file name is : chinaairports_version_2.zip
The zip file includes a pdf (Airports in the PR China.pdf) giving the link between the AF2_XXXX file and the airport ICAO code.
It populates PRC with a lot of airports : FS9, and FSX, have actually much too few airports in this area. I did not try each airport in this package, but every time I landed on one of these airports, I compared it with Google Earth, and the airport position and layout were very accurate.
Again thanks for your help !

The PC on which Plan-G is installed is a Pentium D 3 GHz, with 2 Gb RAM and XP 32 bits as OS.
I disabled my China airports scenery, removed the previous Plan-G folder, and re-ran the database build... and the ILS feathers are there !
Do you know if these kind of errors can be tracked and corrected ? I checked the AF2XXXX files that caused problems during the buildup, using AFCAD, and seem to be without faults. But this scenery was made for FS9, and I imported it in FSX apparently without problems... up to now !
Thanks for your help !

Hi Tim,

I send you an zipped Excel file made with the VORsX table, extracted from the PlanG.mdb file. There is definitely something wrong : there are only 5 lines where the ILSXXXX data are non null, and the contents of these data seems corrupted.
I send you also the image you requested, and the extract of the log file corresponding to the display of this image.
Thanks to take time to have a look on that...

I didn't find one airport with ILS feathers : I looked to airports that I'm sure they have at least one runway equipped with ILS : EGLL, LFPG, EBBR, LEBL, VMMC.

Plan-G / No ILS data collected by Plan-G
February 20, 2010, 03:03:04 PM
Hello,

After building up FSX data, I observed that no ILS data were present : not only are the ILS feathers absent, but when I place my cursor on an airport where I know there is an ILS system, no ILS frequency appears in the airport and runway data. I tried with Plan-G versions 0.8 and 0.9.1 with same result. I have absolutely no idea why this happens. I attach my log file. Can someone help me on this subject ?
Thanks
Alain
