No Elevation Data being Displayed? (Have unzipped & created a Plan)

Folks,

I have downloaded 2 DEM Tiles and unzipped those into the PlanGV2\DEM directory. Subsequently, f10s and I102 are now in that directory. I have created a Flight Plan, saved that and restarted Plan-G. The Plan Elevation option continues to be greyed out as an option. I can still select this option using the F9 key, the Elevation Window pops up but no data is displayed. All just blank.

I am using the latest release of Plan-G Version 2.0.3.486 on Windows 7 64 bit with FSX. Can anyone suggest a course of action to correct this function please?

Many thanks.

Paul

Those filenames are not correct. Did you download the right tiles? you should have e10g, f10g etc.

Tim,

Ah, I had downloaded the 'Source Map' files instead of the Elevation Tiles. Thanks for your response, that should work now!
