Chuck - thanks for that information. I will replace Winzip with that programme.

It will be obvious that I know very little about computers, but I know enough to get by on most subjects connected with Flt Sim.

Windows 7 normally offers the 'extract here' facility,but in this case it didn't, so I did not understand that some kind of programme had to be used to unzip the file.

Thanks again

John

I have just realised that the problem was that I did not have winzip on my latest PC. Although I have been able to extract files from .zip extensions before, presumably using a Windows 7 facility

I've installed Wizip and it now shows the b10g.gz as a zipped file

I now realise that not all 'zipped' files are the same! I blush!  :-[

I have unzipped the b10g.gz and the elevation is now working

Thanks Tim

Well, I was expecting to have a file to unzip, but all that I saw was the b10g.gz.

That is not a winzip file is it?

I have an uncomfortable feeling that I am being 'unaware' :P

I'll look again at the process!

I read about downloading and installing the Digital elevation Model (DEM) tiles on page 96 of the PDF manual. So I download the b10g.gz file and put it into the Plan-G\DEM folder.

I opened Plan G, opened a flight plan (the tutorial flight plan) and expected to see elevation data displayed, but it is not showing. The Plan G 'View' tile has the 'Plan Elevation' box greyed out, so it seems that it can't use the  b10g.gz file.

What have I missed?

John

Thank you Tim.

I have made those changes.

JB

Tim, thank you for replying.

Do you want me to post all of the text from the log here, or can I somehow email the text file to you?

I am not technical (as you can guess  :P) I have never heard of Sim connect!

I installed the (unregistered) copy of FSUIPC a long time ago.

Whilst writing to you, may I express my gratitude to you for this programme. Its really good!

It was suggested by somebody in another Forum, that I download the latest FSUIPC for FS10, I have done that and will use it again to see what happens

A few days ago I was connected online, using FS10 and Plan G, when the whole system locked up and I had to reboot to escape.
I mentioned this on the UK VGA Forum and it was suggested that I post here to seek a solution.

I have looked at the Plan G_log.txt file and here is a list of what I think is the problem:
