Tim,

I must admit that I agree with your responses to many of these wish list items. The old addage "Plan the flight and fly the plan!" comes to mind instantly. Put in the work before you leave the ground and you will be better prepared for elevation changes, distance calculations, etc. while in the air. Use the stopwatch in the cockpit and always know where you are...look out the window if you are in doubt.  :o

That said, FS provides only the basics of sectional chart functionality. I do depend on external tools for providing this essential information while in the air. Plan-G fills this role superbly as it is! Yes, I do need to understand, for example, altitude changes during my flight. I identify these during the planning phase of pre-flight. Thus, if I stay on track, I know what to expect. Now, if I am off track - and worse, if it becomes IFR conditions, I require a sectional chart to provide that information so I DON'T run into a mountain.  :-[  Using Plan-G during the flight to fill the gap of hard-copy local sectional charts is essential.

Keep up the great work, Tim, and I look forward to the next release of viable wish list items.

Just as a point of reference, I fly the DC-3 (for DC-3 Airways) both as cargo tramp and passenger airliner. Although we look for the clear and the blue, we regularly must fly IFR at least part of our journey. Plan-G certainly suffices for that purpose, as we look specifically for nav aids along the lines of VOR and NDB. That said, just having the ILS available really assists getting on the ground again when in the fog, augmenting ATC.

I don't fly jets, so that is the reality check here. For those pilots looking for both GA VFR flight planning and something in between, Plan-G fits the bill nicely...and then some!

Cheers!

Thanks, Tim. I'll run through this and see if it does not set things right/correct. Much appreciated.  :)

Hi Tim,

The attached pdf has a screen print of a script error that I receive constantly. This happens during flight planning, and I do not connect at all with FSX - I only use your wonderful app for planning purposes.

Any time that I reposition the map or zoom in/out, I receive the script error saying that it might slow my machine if it continues. Each time this happens I get the script message anywhere from 3 to 6 times in a row, before it will allow me to continue using the application.

I am running Windows 7, Plan-G v. 0.9.1.423, and do not have FSUIPC installed. I have no idea what could be the problem that is causing this script issue. Can you help?

Thanks. Thomas
