From Options there are 2 Locations as "P3d Scenery.cfg:" and the "P3d v5 Scenery.cfg:" to fill those lines.
I browse for the locations of both "Scenery.cfg" and it appears the Plan-G is not placing the files correctly.
Please, check the video carefully and you will see what I mean.

Thanks, I'll look into what's going on with the files locations (btw, you shouldn't really need most of them - unless you're having a problem - apart from X-Plane, it can pull everything from the registry)

Regarding the VORs and NDBs, if you do a search (Home -> Find->VOR etc), does it find them? ie, are they present in your database?

Files Locations is an issue but I am OK with that so far.
Regarding on the VORs and NDBs I did a Search and it was blank line. But, curiosusly I remembered about the black runways and I turned Off the "Runway Overlays" in Airport marker options. So, after that yes I was be able to see VORs and NDBs and also the Search worked showing me the ICAO as normal.
It seems to me V4.253 is working fine and just only to figure about Files Locations to tell the Plane-G where are located the asking files.

I keep the version 3.2 just in case if I forget the configurations (lol). Well, is it posible to add the feature "Use Hardware Graphics Accelaration" in Plan-G ver 3.2?

I did another try with ver4.253 and It appears the UI graphics has been resolved thanks to your magic touch, cool!
But, here I have a short video showing something rare ...

After selecting the files locations it pop-ups back to the main map screen. It doesn't stay in Options page.
VOR and NDB icons not shown in the map.

I've found a setting to change, that (hopefully) will help. I'll post a link here when it's done, so you can try it. Might not be this weekend though, as I'm tied up with building work.

Upgraded Windows 10 to Windows 11 and the Plan-G v4 UI problems still. The Plane-G v3 has some YI problems too but less annoying then v4.

Found booting Windows 10 Pro to a Safe Mode the Plan-G v4 works flawless but not in normal load. That's really a nightmare.
Patricio Valdes

Installed the last version Plan-G v4.0.0.252 and still exactly the same graphic changing weird. The Plan-G v3.2.2.167 has graphic problem as well but not drastic as the v4.
I think a Windows 10 KB#### Update did change something making such issue.
Patricio Valdes

Yes, It happens also with P3Dv4.5 Scenario Startup Menu weird graphics while hovering the mouse pointer over the Options and others selections.

From Prepar3d.cfg file I resolved with a change:

[USERINTERFACE]
UIHardwareAcceleration=False

default is:
UIHardwareAcceleration=True

Can it be the mouse? If so, it should be the similar weird graphics in FSX, P3Dv5, XP11 and/or MSFS, all from my same machine.

Patricio Valdes

It appears in random. I have a short video showing that view issues.

Launching either Plan-G version 3 or 4 while moving mouse pointer over the map screen or over the icons from top, it shows distorted on and off. What can be the solution?
Patricio Valdes

From Plan-G v4 is it possible to change the red color to black from the direction line made by Plan-G after created I the flight plan?

Maximum Elevation Figures (MEF). Highest elevation in that portion of the map. It's a standard feature of all aviation maps, and tells you how high you must be in order not to hit the ground. Big number is thousands, small number is hundreds of feet.

You can disable it from the View menu (and read its description in the tooltip...)

Thanks for detailed description of MEF. I think it is a very good source to plan Altitudes. Congrats! for that feature.
Patricio

After loaded Plan-G v4 I noticed the Map shows several large numbers in gold color. It appears and disappears depending on the applied zoom on screen. Is there a way to remove those large numbers? The version 3.2.2 doesn't have that large numbers. Also, what's the purposes of those numbers?

"Runway Overlays" in Airport marker options. Did you turn it off?

I got it, many thanks

ok, those "green runways" are ILS feathers. They can be turned off.
The runway overlay markers should be optional, but that option does not appear to be available. I'll fix it.

Downloaded Plan-G Build 237 and the runways still in black. Not fixed yet.

It has been a while, I am checking if that option is available now?
