Build 242 Download

[tim arnot]

This is Plan-G v4 build 242. New users, please read this before installing.

You will find the read me and Quick Start guides in the /docs folder.

Notes:
A bunch more logbook reports, plus the ability to edit, add, & delete flight data. You can also import .igc format breadcrumb trails. This is somewhat experimental, although I have imported around 150 past flights, so there is a reasonable chance of success. It will fail though if it can't find the aircraft used for the flight (it does write what it was looking for in the log), so you'll need to set that up beforehand: - an Aircraft Profile with the make & model, and an Airframe with the tail number.

For tabular report data, you can select rows and copy them to the clipboard using the usual keyboard commands (ctrl-A, ctrl-C etc), and then paste them into Notepad, Excel etc., for printing or further formatting.

Also added is Winds Aloft. This used data from the NOAA servers, and provides wind speed & direction at various altitudes up to 40,000ft, including ground level. It's displayed at 1 degree intervals, using the standard 'wind barb' symbols. The servers update four times per day, at roughly 6 hour intervals. This is accessed from the View ribbon.
There's now a Lat/Lon grid, in addition to the old tile grid, which draws lines on the map at one degree intervals. Again, on the View ribbon.

Also on the View ribbon is a new Fuel Monitor. This will show current fuel usage by engine and fuel tank, while connected to the sim.

MSFS Users: Do not rebuild your databases. Changes to the bgl format in Sim Update 4 are causing build problems. (if you have already tried building it, you can restore your old database by renaming the backup in your Plan-Gv4 Files\Data folder.)

New Users: Please create the following folder path before you run the program: My Documents\Plan-Gv4 Files\Data This will prevent a CTD.

Both issues will be fixed in the next build.
