V4 217 working OK for me.
The DB was compiled without problem and I'm able to run PlanG on the P3Dv4 installed computer as well as on another remote computer (using FSUIPC WideFS).
Thanks again for your help !
Best regards,
Francois
PS: I struggled a little bit when installing NetCore since I went naturally for the x64 version without paying attention to the fact you used the x86 one. Hopefully I eventually used the provided link to the proper version...

Here it is as attached!
Thank you so much for your support,

Hi Tim and everyone,
I recentely wanted to update my PlanG DB (as I installed several freeware or payware sceneries) but got an error message instead.
When checking the log file, it is said:

All I can say is that I own the ORBX Wangarei scenery and that, according to a forum thread, since a shared "MyDocuments\PlanG Files" subfolder might be a problem I moved all my PlanG files to "C:\PlanG Files" folder but to no avail...
Thank you in advance for any help and support !

A huge prize to the man who discovered PortoSanto.  Once deleted, database compilation was straightforward.

A lollipop is on the way Altack.

You are very welcome !  ;D

Hi Guys,
just to let you know that after installing the latest v1.05a Madeira X Evolution from Aerosoft, the DB creation failed.
You need to (temporarely) disabled the PortoSantoXEvolution scenery to make the DB creation possible again...
Hope it will help,
Francois

Thanks Tim,
All of my add-ons are officialy P3D v4 released versions (following Bob Randazzo advices on how not to mess up a perfectly good Prepar3D v4 installation...).
I've got all FSDG Freewares as well as some paywares.
You may give a try with some (very fine) freewares as Oresund Bridge or Cape Verde.
For exemple, with Oresund, come an heliport (EKC8) where you can start a flight but is not showing on PlanG.
My log is attached below.
Hope it will help,
Francois

Plan-G / FSDG sceneries not showing (P3Dv4)
July 24, 2017, 06:30:22 PM
Hi Tim,
after creating a P3Dv4 database, my FSDG sceneries airports are not showing on PlanG (latest build 3.1.4.129).
BTW this sceneries are located, as per LM SDK, in C:\Users\xx..xx\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons
Any idea ?
(My O/S is (french) Win 7 64 Pro if that may help)
TIA

That did the trick !
I disabled the Bill Womack's Heron Nest P3Dv4 freeware scenery and proceeded with the database creation : without any problem this time  :)
I re-enabled the scenery afterward...
Thanks Tim for your (quick) support
Francois
PS: I guess you may contact Bill through his website: https://iblueyonder.com/contact-us/

Hi Tim, Hi Guys,

I'm stuck with the very same problem.
The database creation hangs with airports !
I run PlanG as an administrator, deleted all previous SDF files and rebooted, alas to no avail !
Any help would be appreciated,
TIA

PS: my logfile is attached, hope it will help

Plan-G / Re: stuttering when connection is on
October 13, 2016, 09:18:24 AM
Hi Tim,
no joy by turning off the optionnal data streams !
I eventualy found a way to overcome the stuttering : the #0 CPU was too heavily used whereas the others were almost idling.
Thanks to another FS Forum thread, I learned about "Process Explorer" wich make possible to switch off or on any CPU on the fly.
A 10 seconds "off then on" reset on #0 CPU allows a much more equal workload on all CPUs.
Then the stutter is almost unnoticeable when PlanG is involved.
I didn't go on the "affinity mask" tweak on the P3D.cfg so far.
Best regards,
Francois

Hi Tim,
thanks for your time and efforts, PlanG is definetly a great piece of software !
About my rig, I use a non OC i7-4790 on a ASUS Z87-A mobo with 16 Gb RAM under Win7 64 Pro (french).
I use nVidia surround on a 5760x1080 triple display (GTX 780ti video card) for the VC+another 1440x900 display for PlanG on the same videocard+ a 1366x768 display on an extra nVidia GT610 videocard (for FMS or whatever use).
On the siming side: P3D v3.2.3.16769 with registered FSUIPC v4.955c+ Orbx Global base 1.40/Global Vector 1.45/Open LC Europe 1.2/Open LC North America 1.15+Hifi ASN SP5 (B6107) (not used for the test below).
Numerous airplanes and scenery add-ons (mostly Orbx and Aerosoft sceneries, A2A, JustFlight and Aerosoft airplanes...).
When running P3D (20fps limited) the perf monitoring shows clearly that the Core #0 is fully used but as soon as PlanG is kicked in the Core use is somehow disrupted (see image below, the red arrow marks the time PlanG is activated

Does it make sense ?
Regards,
Francois

Plan-G / Re: stuttering when connection is on

Thanks for your answer !
"update local" was already unticked but I unticked the "download from NWS"
I also set the AI traffic refresh to 60 sec (iso 30 sec).
Since I've got the registered FSUIPC I used the debug consol as per your recommandation.
Honestly: no change ! same stutters, no relevant info on the debug consol (except that my fps is according to my settings (19.8 fps averaged for 20 targeted) and that max AI traffic was only 4 aircrafts).
Any more inputs ?

Plan-G / stuttering when connection is on
September 22, 2016, 10:26:43 AM
Hello,
I recently installed a few sceneries (FlyTampa Corfu v1.0 & Turbulent Designs 2O3 Angwin, both gorgeous !) and updated FSUIPC (v4.956) and ASN (B6107) to my smooth P3D v3.2 rig.
Before that PlanG (v3.1.3.113) was running splendidely but now, every time I hit the connect button, I encounter light to moderate stuttering !
the stuttering disappear as soon as I disconnect PlanG !
I reverted to FSUIPC v4.955c and tried to narrow the culprit (trying both Simconnect and FSUIPC connection, with or without ASN, etc..) but to no avail:
the stutter is always present when PlanG is connected...
Any help would be more than appreciated since I like very much PlanG and don't want to use another moving map utility.
Francois
