Thankyou Tim,

I had changed my Internet Explorer security from Medium/High to High to try to get rid of two persistent bots - Double Click and another similar, but with no success, and Plan-G suffered. Your speedy action is appreciated.

Cheers, Bill

Thanks for the reply. It's not working on my PC this morning but is OK on my lappy, so assume it is somewhere in the Fsim interaction. hope this attachment is successful, here goes:

Actually Plan-G will not start working:

Installed some time ago, and have been using it OK with no hiccups, a great program.

Today started FSX , aircraft at starting point in windowed mode as per usual, selected Plan-G, program opened without Google map displayed, just blank. pressed Connect, but message box came up - "Plan-G has stopped working", after about a minute Windows closed it down.

Tried a few more times, closed FSX, restarted FSX then Plan-G, - same deal.

Uninstalled Plan-G, downloaded and reinstalled Plan-G, rebuilt data base, same deal.

Puzzled.

Yes - my internet connection is OK, FSX is operating faultlessly, as is Google Earth

Still puzzled - any ideas??   :'(

1960 (AD) - the aero club in Oz at which I was learning to fly was still using DH82's, but should a member commit the faux pas of wearing his fur lined boots into the clubhouse one of the old hands would invariably ask "Do you fly, Mister?" with suitably raised eyebrows.  ;)

After joining the aviation fraternity in order to earn a crust, when visiting the home farm on holidays I was brought down to earth by my siblings  falling about laughing when a 'say again' or 'wait one' slipped out.  ::)

An excellent program which helps FSX be even more enjoyable - thanks for the hard work and for making it available to us.

Cheers, Bill
