Morning - Build 223 doesn't load at all for me (I installed 32 bit version of Desktop Runtime).

I run the exe but nothing happens and no active process in Task Manager. I've checked my Documents area for logs but the only logs are for the previous 64 bit version (the 64 bit version still works fine btw).

Hmm. Don't suppose you're clicking an icon attached to a deleted build by mistake?  I have no idea what would cause the program not to run at all.

Nahh I was def clicking the right exe however.....

I think the download\extract must have corrupted some how,  I just deleted the new build folder entirely redownloaded and now its working!

Let me know if there's anything you need me to check\logs to pass on etc that may help.

V4 Beta / Re: OpenStreetMap not working on Alpha version?

Happy Friday.

Good choice of name there it's a known fact that all Tim's are awesome (bearded or not)  :D

That makes perfect sense on the mapping thanks, I did manage to always have one big tile showing and thought perhaps it had cached. OpenTop Map is fine for now, I did a flight from Shoreham to Manston along the coast last night and it worked well for me I could make out visual ref points easy enough. So nice to have a VFR map to use.

I will try tweaking whats on\off later as you say if I turn off the MS data it does runs like a dream, so it must be just the amount of overlaid data and hopefully I can find a nice balance. PC Spec wise I'm prob between mid\high end - Ryzen 3600/SSD/16GB RAM/GTX1660 Super.

Thanks again for your help

Tim

Edit: I had a lightbulb moment on the OpenMap\Network issue.. fired up a VPN and set it to another country. OpenMap now works fine! So hopefully if I run this with the VPN for a while it'll cache enough to solve it. Thanks again.

V4 Beta / OpenStreetMap not working on Alpha version?
September 10, 2020, 08:19:00 PM
Hi all - I'm new hear but excited to use Plan-G it looks great.

I've installed the alpha build for MSFS 2020 and it seems to be picking up the right data after building database etc.

The problem I am having is the only map that works for me is OpenCycle Map or OpenTop Map. I'd like to use OpenStreetMap if possible but it just loads once square and then the rest are blue stating with an exception timeout error.

Is this just a problem with the Openstreetmap servers? i.e they aren't coping with traffic?

Lastly the maps that are working are extremely laggy when scrolling around but only when the MSFS 2020 display data option is on. Is this expected?

Cheers

Tim
