Connected but no yellow aircraft

[Melih]

Dear Mr. Arnot,

I want to use PlanG for my VFR flights but I would like your help in resolving a problem.

I have Win10 (Turkish), FS9 and licensed FSUIPC. I start FS first then PlanG. Load my VFR flight plan and then I click connect (after making sure in the options menu the FSUIPC is enabled for connection) . Even though I see the connected icon and the yellow wind icon, I cannot see my yellow aircraft. I have pressed F6 to toggle the icon but no result.

Please see attached picture and lof file for more info.

Thank you for your time and effort.

Regards,

Melih.

Can you attach a screenshot of your User Aircraft panel in Options?

Thanks.

[Melih]

Sorry for my late response.

Please see attached the options - user aircraft screen info.

Thanks.

That shows Plan-G is connected to FSUIPC. Is it possible that FSUIPC is not running on FS? (You should see it in the addons menu). This is very common when running WideFS across a network - Plan-G will connect to the local client, but the local client isn't connected to the WideFS server (you should see the word "Connected" in the FSX title bar)

In a network environment you must make sure both PCs are in the same home/work group.

I use my laptop for FS9 and Plan-G, there is no network that I use.

I see the FSUIPC menu when FS9 is running and I am able to connect to IVAO servers through IVAP Program. Please see attached screenshot ofthe FS9.

Still no yellow aircraft  :(

Okay thanks. Can you attach the Plan-G log file? You'll find it in My Documents\Plan-G Files.

Please find attached the log file.

Thanks.

[tim arnot]

Okay I should have been more specific. Please make your connection attempt / do your flight, and *then* attach the log file. Thanks.

I have attached the log file after a 10min VFR flight around LTFB ariport.

Thanks for your help.

Hmm, it still does not show any attempt to connect. What you should see in the log is something like this:

You should see at least the first line, just from clicking on the Connect button.

I have tried numerous times to get the messages you have mentioned but no success. I have made sure that both programs (FS9 and PlanG) have admin rights. I have even tried WindowsXP
compatibility mode for these programs. Each time no connection.

After trying a few connect/disconnect sequences in a row and then looking at the log file I see that there is record of a disconnect but no record of a connection (see below).

I guess somethings are not ment to happen, even though I am very fond of PlanG it seems I have to live without it :(

Thanks for your efforts.
