I'm also very happy, no problems during install and first flight whatsoever. It works without problems.
I'm not done exploring, but so far so good!

Thanks Tim.

Best regards, Rob

Fantastic! I have Plan-G running on a second monitor, with this it will be even better!

Rob

PS: on a sidenote, still not thinking of tying the Auto pilot to the Plan-G flightplan. (as in the good old FS Navigator) That I would love as well.

- the possibility to fly a flightplan automatically.
Not a hope  ;)
Oh, I'll check out the print options.
But I always liked that feature in FSNavigator though.

Thanks, Rob

Hi Tim,

Few features I used a lot in FSNavigator:
- the possibility to fly a flightplan automatically.
- the possibility to tune radios from the nav program (possibly with mouse over, and then select)
- the feature that when you mouse over a navaid (NDB, VOR, Airport), you also see the fly-to heading and distance.

Told you I was a lazy pilot  8)

Any chance to get it in Plan-G?

Cheers, Rob

Hi Tim, Andre

I had the same problem with built 362, and I followed your advice.

It works now for me, see post http://www.tasoftware.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=6.msg298#new

Thanks for the tip.

WOOOHOOO TIM!!!

beta 362 has me connected.
I also at first had no dice, and the 10.0.60905 did not connect.
I deleted the entry form Winsxs, as you indicated in the post by Andre.
Then I re-installed from the SDK. Now I'm off exploring the other possibilities.

See attached log file.

I also like that you fixed the pop-up for the Google earth application loading. Now everything just start's-up as intended.


Cheers mate, and thanks for this great product. I will follow up on the developement.

Several people have mentioned not seeing the aeroplane symbol. I'll change the default for the next build.

Good luck with the developement. I'm looking forward to this, a tool dearly missed since FS Navigator didn't come to FSX.
And I found the airplane symbol, activation and options were just hidden where I didn't look ;-)

Aaahh, the globe holds secret settings. Got my plane to show, and the map to center. Good show.

Cheers, R.

Hi Tim,

The older built seems to connect to FSX. I don't get the plane icon on the map though, or plane data to show (AIS, bank, pitch altitude)
Is there a setting I'm missing?
It seems I'm not the only one with the issue.
Maybe I must delete the SP1 simconnect?
I will see what you come up with! Looking forward to get this running!

No reinstall here. I do know I had trouble to get ASA working, I might have used 2 installs (SP1 and SP2) of simconnect from the SDK.

Cheers, Rob

Hi Tim,

I run Windows XP SP3 (Dutch)
I have FSX Acceleration running (English)
I find 2 simconnects:
C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect_67c7c14424d61b5b_10.0.60905.0_x-ww_429211e9. properties give me version 10.0.60905.0
C:\WINDOWS\WinSxS\x86_Microsoft.FlightSimulator.SimConnect_67c7c14424d61b5b_10.0.61259.0_x-ww_fb842f5a. properties give me version 10.0.61637.0

Then I have a few in my SDK folders, but my guess is they are not in use.

I also recently downloaded and used EZ Walk, a freeware camara tool for FSX. This also uses simconnect. It works. I also gave my firewall all acces to Plan-G.

I hope this leads to getting Plan-G running.

Best, Rob

Hi Tim,

nice, and promising product you have here. I'm using version 3.0.357, no previous installs.
I had no problem building the database, and I see all nav data and airports in the map view.
I can also build a plan, by selecting a start airport, start position, and add waypoints. I can save and load the plan.
But, unfortunately, it cannot connect to the sim (FSX)
I know simconect is working, since Active Sky Advanced has contact with the sim.
I just gave it another try, and it just doesn't work. The connect button is blue, and turns orange when the mouse goes over it
I cannot see my plane or traffic in the map view.
Attached my log file. Unfortunately, my .net 3.5 SP1 has the dutch laguage pack installed. I hope you can work with it anyway.

Looking forward to your reply,

Best, Rob
