Tim,

Thanks for your quick response. I've reviewed the log file and don't detect an error message. I've just tried again from the Open File browser (FS9 not running) and I continue to get the message I first made reference to. Here are the lines in the log file that make reference to my last attempt to open a flightplan:

Based on my reading of this, it seems to be confirming that Plan-G has opened the file when in fact it hasn't. But I may be wrong about my interpretation. Would Windows 7 be part of the issue much like it is when trying to add scenery to FS9 or FSX (there's a special procedure to follow in order to add new scenery to FS when using Windows 7)?

Any further thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi, The subject line is self-explanatory. Plan-G responds with the following message: "Plan-G is unable to open the file you have selected. It may have been moved or deleted"

Any thoughts anybody? I use Plan-G with FS9.

Thanks, Jean-Jacques

Hi,

I also experience FSX crashes when using Plan-G. In my case, FSX doesn't CTD but rather stops running and Windows 7 displays a message saying it is attempting to find a solution (it never does!). A few seconds later, FSX reports (or Windows 7 reports) that FSX is restarting. Its an annoying issue and if this helps, here are the last few lines of Plan-G's log file:

This happened during a VFR flight from EGLL to LFPG using real weather (REX's weather engine). I use two monitors connected to the flightsim computer one on which Plan-G is displayed and a second networked computer which runs other programs i.e., Radar Contact. Hope this helps and if it doesn't, then I'd be pleased to provide other information to assist in the resolution of the issue.

Sincere thanks for this wonderful utility.
