"Plan G stopped working"

[b1bmsgt]

Just installed the latest version (3.0.7.71) for the umpteenth time. As usual, whenever I click on the icon and run as administrator, within a second or two I get the "Plan G3 has stopped working" box. Below are the contents of the log file, showing two attempts to start the program:

14:13:11.7

That's it.

Any help would be appreciated...

(I previously had an earlier version of v3 running on the same computer with no problems. The problem started when I upgraded to 3.0.7.71. I uninstalled the latest version and reinstalled my previous version, but now it behaves in the same manner.)

Thanks,

Next thing it does is check the tile cache (C:\Users\Ivan\AppData\Local\GMap.NET\). Maybe there's a problem with it - you could try deleting it.

[b1bmsgt]

hi Tim,

Tried it. Log file looks the same...

Russ

[b1bmsgt]

Any other ideas, Tim? I'd really like to start using Plan G again!!

Russ

[b1bmsgt]

Hi Tim,

Any ideas?? ??? ???

Russ

[tim arnot]

Can you show the error message from the Windows Event Viewer, that might give a clue...

[b1bmsgt]

Hi Tim,

I went back through the previous posts again and found one I hadn't seen that mentioned .net 4.0 instead of 4.5. I uninstalled 4.5.1 which I had and installed 4.0 and it worked! Sorry I didn't see it before.  ::) :o

Thanks for a great program, by the way!!  ;D

Hi,

I get the same error after installing 3.0.7.71.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Anwendung: Plan-G3.exe
Frameworkversion: v4.0.30319
Beschreibung: Der Prozess wurde aufgrund eines Ausnahmefehlers beendet.
Ausnahmeinformationen: System.TypeInitializationException
Stapel:
   bei Plan_G3.App..ctor()
   bei Plan_G3._Main.Main()
---------------------------------------------------------------
(read: exception error)

I installed .net 4.5.1 a few days ago, and for a reason, as another program required it. I am not really inclined to de-install it for 4.0. There should be a better solution.

Any idea what I can do? As a temporary fix, I returned to 3.0.4, which works.

Thanks for any help and
kind regards, Michael

First of all, I must admit Plan G is the best program out there. Thank you for your faithfulness and dedication to give us a best product.

I have a similar problem where Plan G (version: 3.0.6.67) works for awhile and then crashes saying "Plan G stopped working"

It was working fine since I downloaded this version on Oct 15, 2013, until recently. Could it be because of some win 7 update from Microsoft?

I am running Plan G on Window 7, networked to MS FSX running also Win 7 (with no plan G installation).

Event Viewer gives two errors:

Any help or suggestion is highly appreciated.

I have a similar problem where Plan G (version: 3.0.6.67) works for awhile and then crashes saying "Plan G stopped working"

First of all, update Plan-G to the last version and see if it works.

[tim arnot]

Ed, your crash is due to a flaky Simconnect library. It's a known issue, has always been there, and there's nothing can be done (since the programmer left Microsoft etc), short of writing a whole new one from scratch.

[Bingo41]

Tim,

I'm a recent user of Plan G and I love it.

What I don't understand, is that Active Sky Next uses Simconnect and they are able to track the A/C progress running on a second machine as well as injecting weather into FSX? This FSX app appears to not have issues with Simconnect, but Plan G does? Have the developers of ASN figured out a way to make their app work with Simconnect?

So are you saying, the only solution is to use FSUIPC4 if you want to use Plan G?

[tim arnot]

They are using a different library, or hand-rolled code. If I was starting Plan-G today, I wouldn't use the library I picked 5 years ago.

Re 'Plan-G3 has stopped working problems'    I read with considerable interest previous comments that installing,  <.net 4.0>in lieu of the current <.net4.5.1> sometimes clears the problem. Can anyone advise in simple terms how I delete .net4.5 and install .net.4.0.    I would like to go flying again  G-TARQ   thanks.

Reginald,

I can. Just look for the Programs and Functions Icon in the Control Panel. There you will find Microsoft .net Framework 4.5.1. Right clicking gives you the Option to change/uninstall it.

Afterwards make a Google search for .net framework 4.0. Microsoft has the older versions archived (entry 01).

http://www.microsoft.com/de-de/download/details.aspx?id=17718

This should do it.

Personally I would like to see another solution as some other programs require the most recent .net Version (if I recall right, it's suggested for Prepar3d v2, too).

Kind regards, Michael
