In the format of importing records the first item in the csv file is [Category].. what are the different ones and where can I find them , I cannot find a ref in the manual , are they names or numbers ( the export csv shows numbers) manage user waypoints uses names (poi, airstrip, obstacle, etc)..

can you please clarify ...thank you..

Jorge

Thank you Tim, the installer offered me C:|program files x86\plang  and I changed to my liking ,, no problems there also all worked OK , something funny with the maps settings I have a mapbox lic and from install the radio is on open street , I could change to open cycle but not to mapbox (even after entering my id/key) then I selected Mapquest cache  and then II could select mapbox OK... after that I can go to openstreet and back to mapbox OK... ???

Otherwise great job !!! Thank you!!!

Jorge

Yes strange, all I have is the three ticks on. Plan-G V2.0.5.493

Jorge

I get a red line around the areas and nothing else....seems to work OK

also noticed there is a space in the name maybe remove it.


Jorge

Thankyou Tim I had figured it out...

Hi, I am creating a network install , fsx W7 , PlanG XP, all is good but after installing PlanG in the XP machine (no fsx installed) it starts with the FIRST tab active, if I click on build database it goes away and says 0 airports and 0 so on... comes back and still stays in First not giving me the option to select File to add the network locations of FSX in the other PC.
The log shows FSX installed? (which it is not) and in the first it only allows for fsx not both (fsx fs9)
here is the log

please any advise is welcome...

regards  Jorge

Tim, I solved my problem, but do not ask me how!!!!!!!!!
I tried all posibilities .net, run in admin mode...nothing, the I thought I will run
in compat to XP sp2...ups it works....I cant beleive it then I remove the compat and
...it works, then always works, so I decided to see what was the reason, reinstalled
Plan-g in another disk and run it...it works without problem, I then removed every
instance of plang in the registry, run again and works...  then reboot and
reinstalled Plan-g ia a new disk run it and FAILS he same no file browser....
looking at the file properties for Plan-g.exe I see Security ;This file came from
another computer and might be blocked to help protect this computer. and an option
to UNBLOCK  that did not fix it either, set run as admin did not fix it, set run in
compat xp sp2 and WORKS!!!!, remove run in compat and run as admin and still
works....and there are plenty entries in the registry...reboot and then does not
work again unless I use compat xp sp2. end of my testing I am running it now in
compat mode and it is version v0.9.1.423.

by the way I just found than another instance of the plan-g directory in another
drive runs OK at this time without the compat tic on.
Then I rebooted, the file without the comp tic :fails , then run the one with the
tic: runs, then again run the one WITHOUT the tic and it also works...until I reboot
again...

sorry but I had to tell you this...maybe you can make something of it all...

regards  Jorge and a happy Plan-G user again!!!

Tim, the save plan and open plan does not work either, I will have to find out some more, thankyou for your help...

regards  Jorge

Tim, Plan-g works with FSX OK, I can see the  yellow plane OK and all is well, the only problem is as I said when importing or setting the location, (interesting tjhat it did not ask for the location at the beginning and found FSX and all the scenery OK by itself.  No I tried everything and the file dialog is not appearing anywhere.

by the way I do not have this problem of the file dialog in any other program or even in plan-G when I select find>find Airport it opens the file browser for the selection of the airport....   very strange.

regards  Jorge

edit checked windows event logs but nothing related to the Plan-G app.

another observation, sometime ago I had it installed and could do everything OK, last week I attempted to do an import and it failed, after that and for another reason I reformatted the drive and reinstalled W7 and the lot and the problem remained...maybe is that win applied an update that caused this problem,  do you have any idea or should I start to remove updates one by one ...there are some 20 so far...let me know as I am happy to help as Y like my Fire Towers in PNW back!!!!!   regards  Jorge

Tim, thankyou for the prompt reply, here is a copy of the log, as I said nothing special, it is a log file produced by starting Plan-g , performing yje tasks as per my post , closing plan-g and starting it again...
I also changed the size in the display to small thinking that I would be missing some window, it seems that the call to win for the file exploer is being ack'd by win (hence no error) but not performed ....

by the way all else works fine...

I have win7 64 new fresh install, one monitor and after installing Plan-g v0-9-1-423 I cannot import or export waypoints. I select Data>Manage Database> get tha Manage User Waypoints window, press Import... the button flashes and the window flashes but I do not get the file explorer window to select the files , the same happenswith the export, also if I select options>locations to tell Plan-g where the files are it does the same a flash and nothing else the File explorer does not appear....

any clues???

regards  Jorge

edit I have admin authority and run as admin and all that...also no erros in the log.

Hi all, I am doing a Fire Tower hop in PNW and as I go recording everyone in Plan-G...

here it is so far ....

I will continue to update this as I go...enjoy
