Planned route does not appear on UI map

[maxam]

First off, great product! I like the concept and design. I just downloaded and installed the other day and am enjoying it immensely.

I have set up a network configuration and can track a flight, view weather and instruments but I cannot seem to load and view a flightplan created by FSbuild which is saved in Flight Simulator X Files.

I have copied and pasted the .PLN file in the correct location on the FSX computer, loaded it and pressed connect in the Plan-G UI but the planned flight does not appear in the UI.

I have .NET 3.5 SP1 installed and am using Vista64... the only thing I have not tried is to copy and paste an FSX created flight but I am pretty sure that FSBuild outputs the same format.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Robert CYVR

Can you upload the FSBuild plan here, and I'll take a look at it. Thanks

Here is the FSBuild generated plan, there does not seem to be any difference in the .xml encoding except for the lat/lon of the waypoints. When creating a plan with FSX the route does appear in the UI. Thanks for your help.

Yes, it's broken. But the good news is, it works in 0.9, which hopefully should be available next weekend.

Great news, looking forward to it.
