HI, re downloaded and installed 3.2.1.151 . Working fine now.

I just installed a version, that was supposed to be an update, and it was really bad. I had 3.1.3.113 which worked perfectly. The new version was slow as molasses, and I felt like I was working with a 15 year old PC. I uninstalled it, went back to 3.1.3.113 and everything is fine again. Now I am thinking maybe I should just not update again.

I tried this once about a week ago and could see pilots and controllers, but the last 4 days, nothing. Is there some setting in PlanG that has to be set?

I finally solved the problem. I decided since I haven't read anyone else having problems, that something must be happening to the new version file I had when I downloaded it. I tried two downloads with same bad results. I finally decided to turn off my Antivirus, WebRoot, which I have used for years and never had an issue before. I then downloaded 3.2, installed it, and it opened immediately. Imported the P3D database whichwas quick and with no problems, and it is working perfectly now.  ;D ;D

I love Plan G and use it on every flight. I decided to upgrade to the latest version, 3.2 today. I read that I would still retain 3.1, but that is not what I saw after installing 3.2. It seemed that 3.1 was overwritten by installing 3.2 into my P3D version 3.4 . I tried 3 separate times to build the P3D database, after specifying where the P3D exe and scenery files were located. Both times after a great deal of time, the database build failed. Also opening the program took a long time, versus 3.1 when it would just open almost instantly. When I tried rebuilding teh database, the program kept stalling with a not responding indication in task manager. I downloaded a new copy, and tried again. Same exact result. Luckily I have a backup of my entire hard drive image, so I just copied my perfectly working  version 3.1, the entire folder, and pasted it in the proper place on my hard drive. and now I am back to normal. ( A sigh  of relief.)

In addition, when I open plan G 3.20 144  A message pops up saying there is a new version 3.2.0.244. and go to the Plan G website to download it. I can't find that 3.2.244 version anywhere on your website. Is this entire 3.2 a beta?  Anyway, I think I will be just staying with version 3.1, which works perfectly.

Ok . I see what happened, I was flying in Europe for a couple of days, and I don't have the data for Europe installed, just the USA.  I downloaded the areas I didn't have and now everything works...   

:)
Thanks. 

I may be mistaken, but I thought at one point in time I could see mountains on the map, right click on the mountain and see the terrain elevation at that point . I am using mapbox 1 for my map now, and was wondering if that is not available with this map?

What are you finding slow? The new build will use default settings and you may find that (for example) changing map provider speeds up the initial display.

It was slow to start the program slow to zoom in and out, just everything took so much longer. Say about 5 seconds for initial load with 3.3, and three times that for 3.4 .  Went back to 3.3, and everything back to normal. I used the default map that 3.4 came with, thinking  that was the problem and even went back to the mapbox map  I was using with 3.3, and it made no difference.

Bob,
When I load Plan-G up it takes around 10-15 seconds and I am ready to go. Version 3.1.4.123

Chuck

I just started mine now and was ready to go in about 3-4 seconds. That is what I had been used to since I got Plan G. The beta version took about 15 or more seconds, but everything was slow, zooming, etc.  I tired both the map that it came with and then went back to the map I am using with 3.1.3, and it made no difference, it was just slow.

Has anyone else noticed that it seems this latest version takes much longer to load than the previous version? After trying it for hours, I found it unacceptable, and had a backup copy and went back to 3.13.
