Plan G v3.1.3 WIN 10 Plan Elevation question

Hi,
Have been running Plan G v3.1.3, Win 10 successfully for a while now.  Everything works fine, except the Plan Elevation.  Downloaded and installed the DEM files in the correct folder but still Plan Elevation shows nothing.  I figure that maybe Win 10 have something to do with it.
Does anybody  in this forum have had the same problem?
Thanks in advance for any input.

I'm about to install windows 10, so I'll look into it.

DEM is working fine for me under Windows 10.

When you open a flightplan, you should see something like this in the log:

Hi Tim,

So far I downloaded four DEM files and extracted them to C:\users\------------\Documents\Plan-G files\Dem.  Created a quick flight plan with 3 waypoints.  When i go to View> Plan Elevation, still nothing comes up.  Attached is my log file.
Will appreciate if u can look at it and tell me what's wrong.
Thanks for your help,

Mario

Hi Tim,
I created and saved a flight plan using Plan G v3.1.3 as a plg file.  I am running X10 plane.  When i click view > Plan Elevation still i get nothing.  Do I have to convert the plg file to fms to be able to see the Plan elevation?
Everything else on Plan G works flawlessly.
Thanks for your help ! !

tim arnot

No, the sim you are using is irrelevant as far as Plan-G is concerned - it only determines which navigation database gets used. Try saving your plan as a .plg and then reopening it. Maybe the issue is in the QuickPlanner.

Tim,
Tried creating a flight plan as a .plg, reopening it and still Plan Elevation remains blank.  Any other ideas  ??? ???
Thanks

Hi Tim,
Finally, checked everything as per your advise and found out that after downloading all the files from NOAA. 

When i unzipped the files to the DEM directory, for some reason each file were unzipped with a folder.  I simply moved each file inside the folder to the DEM directory and VIOLA, everything works now.  Finally, i can now view the Plan Elevation.
Thanks for your help,

Mario
