Test version 3.2.0.143 * NEW 08/10/2017 *

[Argaeus]

Well, thanks anyway Birdy.dma.
If you think of anything else, I'd be glad to present you with any further details :) I guess I am the only one who cannot see his a/c on the screen while I can even see online Vatsim pilots - flying or on ground.
Cheers.

Here's a thought: the Vatsim data feed will include your user aircraft. Plan-G normally filters it out, so that it doesn't appear twice. But if it's not seeing your user aircraft in the first place, it can't filter it out. So you should still see the Vatsim version (although it'll be blue)...

Well Tim, thanks for the suggestion but I only fly on IVAO and Plan-G does not show them.

I don't like comparing your tool with others in your forum but the recent new tool does show all 4 Network participants (including it's own) on it's map at the same time so I do exactly that and disable IVAO to avoid seeing my flight duplicated.

There must be something Plan-G does not like in my laptop that blocks a simple icon showing on my screen! :)

Thanks anyways and take care.

For the next release:

1 OpenTopoMaps compatibility (IMO very good charts with Power transmission lines very usefull in VFR). Look at https://opentopomap.org/
2 Possibility to change the color of the flight plan line
3 Possibility to print map at fixed scale (1:250.000; 1:500.000 etc)
4 Possibility to write or draw on the map (lines, marks, notes etc)

Bye

Looks promising . . . :)

Sorry if a dumb question but where can I find PlanG 3.1.4.127 for my P3Dv4?

[tim arnot]

It's not out yet, sorry (it's only been released to a few select alpha testers, since there's some core functionality that's broken).

The current build 124 at the top of this thread does work with P3Dv4

Cheers brother Tim.

Hi,

I updated my Plan G to version 3.1.4.123 but now when I try to build a database for either P3D V3 or P3D V4 everything goes fine until it gets to building the Airports part of the DB then it hangs. I even left the Database creator running overnight but it was the same result. Attached is the latest log.

Cheers
Pat

Make sure Plan-G is running as Administrator, and try deleting/renaming the PlanG3_P3D.sdf file before you start. Also reboot your PC.

The problem is due to an unreleased lock on the database file, and not related to the sim you're building for.

[Aussie157]

Thanks Tim. I actually run the installer as Admin and the programme the same. Will try and delete the files you have mentioned.

Cheers
Pat

Still not having any luck creating databases for FSX or P3D V3.4 and P3D V4. The database creation seems to stall while creating the airports. It shows "writing 26404 airports" but that is where it stalls.

Cheers
Pat

You've now got a different error, which doesn't really help you. But it appears now to be some issue with the data.

BTW, due to a bug mentioned in another thread, it's actually reading the P3Dv3 data even when you've set it to P3Dv4, so it's best to do any further testing with P3Dv3, at least until the next build comes out (which won't be long - next week, probably)

It would be helpful if you could do a db build with just the base data - go into the FS Scenery config screen and disable the addons. If we can get a successful database build with this, we can then start narrowing it down to what's causing the problem.

Just alerting people to build 129, now at the top of this thread.  :)

No joy with P3DV4 latest hotfix running W10. Will not connect using simconnect. FSUIPC% works just fine though
