On page 55 of the manual it gives anice IGC against a green Ground elevation profile.

When I imported an IGC file the trace shows fine but no green elevation profile.
My DEM works OK because a plan elevation comes up OK when I hit the Plan Elevation Tab

What am I doing Wrong?

Did you copy the DEM files to the new location?

Yep, they are definitely in here

C:\Users\(myname)\Documents\Plan-G Files\DEM\g10g

Can you upload the trail file for me to look at here? Thanks.

Attached is the IGC file.

It just occured to me that the IGC was created from the Simlogger program, http://carrier.csi.cam.ac.uk/forsterlewis/soaring/sim/fsx/dev/sim_logger/

I have not tried to reload back in a Plan-G IGC created trace yet as a comparison

That'll be it - Simlogger doesn't include elevation info.
