Everything has been working great.Tonight I save a .pln plan,it shows up in FSX flight plans,but does not load in PlanG or FSX.It loads in .plg plans in PlanG but they are not in my Flight Simulator X files.Any suggestions?Thanks,Ron

It would help if you showed us the plan an/or any error detailed in the log.

Also,I checked my add/remove program list and I have PlanG (last used 11/11) and PlanGV3.It says I last used PlanGV3 11/12/12,but I used it today and almost every night.Can I remove the PlanG program?Thanks,Ron

You can remove it if you wish, but there's no compulsion to. V2 is no longer supported, but it will still work, unless google decides to block access to it.

OK,Here goes.Thanks

Ok, You can't use "&" as part of the description of a user waypoint ("Brad's Bait & BBQ"). If you edit the plan file in notepad to take out that character, it'll load fine.

Thanks for the help.I did not write it with the "&".I just clicked on it on the map to add it to the plan.Ron

I'll make sure there's something in build 51 that'll deal with it :)

Thank you.Also,I tried to go to the manual to see how to edit the plan and it said "cannot open PlanG Manual.Make sure the file exists.I do have Adobe reader.Ron

Just edited the "&" out of the flt plan.All is well.Learned something new today.That is good!Thanks for the lesson.Ron
