Map delays & User Paths

[Stargazer]

Hi,

After actual blood and tears, I finally found a way to overcome Virgin Mediocre's rotten hardware shortfalls and I now once again have both internet access as well as a LAN that allows Simconnect traffic. I made my first flight on the new setup and had Plan-G track the flight over the network from start to finish.

It's an impressive bit of software and I look forward to delving into it further to take it beyond 'just' flight tracking. I did notice though, that by the end of my flight, roughly 2.5 hours, the Plan-G marker for my aircraft was behind what I was doing in FSX. Given that I plan to use Plan-G for VFR to help me with flying airspace a little more realistically, this would be a potential hazard. I see a few people have mentioned 'lag', especially when ICAO overlay is active. Whilst I accept that the overlay is a big one, the program doesn't appear to struggle and the PC running it experiences no other problems so I'm hoping this is something configurable. Any insight from anyone would be appreciated.

On this subject, I found an older thread where someone said "I have found that if the leg on the Flight Plan is highlighted prior to the actual leg you are flying, the system will eventually synchronize itself." but I'm afriad I don't really understand. I also had not loaded a flightplan in Plan-G so even if I think I half an idea what that quote is saying, I'm not sure how I'd go about it.

Secondly, and this is a silly question, is there a keyboard shortcut to clear the user aircraft path? I eventually found the button buried deep in the options but this is several mouse clicks in and it feels very out-of-the-way. A toolbar, menubar or some other quick access command would be great if one existed.

Many thanks,

Rob

I've never experienced the lag that people sometimes mention, so I can't really be of much help. The Vatsim overlay *shouldn't* make a difference, although I agree people do cite it.

That older thread was talking about the something different, which has since been fixed.

Off the top of my head, I don't recall if there's a shortcut to clear the breadcrumb trail, and I don't have access to a PC to check. It'll be mentioned in the readme if it's something I added though.
