Problem picking up flight plan on next load.

[w9nwrwi]

Running X-Plane 10.22 64 bit. 
I can load up a plan within plan-g (V3.06 build 67), route and plan is displayed just fine.  I load the plan (.FMS) into x-plane, the on board GPS shows the proper waypoints, airports, etc. loaded by using the FMS/Key_load command in X-plane.

Flight goes on, following route just as I would expect it to do. Now, if I land at an interm airport (not in plan) and exit both systems to bring them back up later,  upon restarting both Plan-G and X-plane and load plans how do I get Plan-G to tell the X-plane GPS where its at?  It wants to revert back to the starting (first waypoint) point.
I tried invoking "make this the active leg" but that did not work. Matter of fact Make This The Active Leg no longer appears upon a right click of the waypoint within the plan-G pop-up.

I am not sure if this is a X-plane problem or a Plan-G problem, or maybe its no problem at all and not designed to do that.

If I enter a waypoint manually into the X-Plane GPS it still shows a heading number of back to the start point. (it is still seeing Plan data)

As long as I keep flying from start to finish its perfect, it's just the "remain overnight" stop! :) that gives a problem.

Thanks for any assistance/thoughts.

Plan-G doesn't interact with the onboard GPS - it's not designed to do that.

IRL, if you divert for an overnight stop, you would close out your flight plan and file a new one the next day from your new origin. Resuming a partially complete flight plan isn't expected behaviour, although many GPS units do have an advance active leg function, and that might work in X-Plane, depending on how thoroughly the device has been implemented (you might need a RW GPS manual to figure it out though)

An alternative is to split the plan in PG into smaller segments (you can use the Save As Snippet facility)

Tim,

Ok, got it and it makes sense.  I did not even think about the real life situation  :-[, I know what I need to do now, break that plan(s) into a couple more realistic plan situations.


Thanks,

Chuck
