Problem when using Plan-G with REX

[Serge]

G'day Tim,

I currently run Plan-G on a laptop and connect to FSX (installed on my desktop) via my network and it works great. I have now also installed REX on the laptop and also connect it to FSX via my network. This also works great.

One thing I have noticed however is that when I have the REX GUI open I lose the functionality of the right-click menu in Plan-G (eg. I can't add an airport to my flight plan). As soon as I close REX the right-click functionality returns to normal and I can add an airport.

I'm not sure if this is a REX issue or a Plan-G issue. I thought I would post here first to see what your response is before I try the REX forum.

Does anyone else have REX installed where they can test this please?

Thanks for this great software.

Cheers,
Serge

Is this on a particular page of the REX UI, or anywhere? I've gone through most of the REX screens and I can't reproduce it. Does it make a difference if you start Plan-G before REX or vice versa?

Thanks for responding Tim.

It makes no difference whether I start REX first or Plan-G first. Also, it occurs regardless of the page that is displayed in the REX GUI. It also doesn't matter whether Plan-G is connected to FSX or not.

With REX running I can not use the right-click menu to add an airport to a flight plan in Plan-G. What I have noticed however is that I can right-click anywhere else and get the option to add a user way-point, add display rings or hide display rings however whenever I move the cursor over an airport or nav aid icon no tooltip displays and if I right-click there are no options displayed. If I shut down REX the right-click option to add an airport will display immediately (I don't even need to restart Plan-G).

Not sure what else to look at.

Regards,
Serge

The code that detects what airport etc your mouse is over is slightly different in beta 3. I'd suggest you download it once it becomes available (hopefully this weekend), and see if it makes a difference. If there's still a problem, we might need to investigate further.

Cheers Tim.

I'll wait for beta3 and install it when it's available. I will report back then.

Regards,
Serge
