Test version 3.2.0.143 * NEW 08/10/2017 *

[opjose]

The new Build worked with XP-11 and all of my airports.

Attached is the log.

I did not run it as administrator.

[opjose]

Well maybe not!

I was able to see the airports immediately after the build completed.

I exited Plan-G and about an hour later went back into it to generate a flight plan.

Now no airports appear.

There is nothing in the log indicating problems reading the data files.

The generated PlanG3_XPX.sdf file is 249,748KB in size.

More info:

VERY strange...

If I revert back to the prior build AFTER the databases have been generated by your test build, the airports appear.

I renamed the EXE's to do this. I did not re-install.

The Airports, NDBs & VORs do not appear using the test build after the initial run.

Sometimes markers don't draw on startup (it's a very old bug that no one has been able to track down, and only happens sometimes to some people). Try moving the map about, zooming in & out etc - that should kick them into life.

[opjose]

Nothing I do causes them to appear using the version that permits the completion of the database build.

Zooming in, zooming out, switching to a different area of the world, etc.


When I switch back to the prior version, they appear within a second.

Thanks.

[tim arnot]

Very odd.

Can I hear from a few people who *can* build the XP11 database? For the sake of comparison: PC spec, OS & locale, and data revision (You'll see that in the log as, e.g. "1100 Version - data cycle 1710")

Thanks.

I can't get the data base to build either on XP11. Have attached my Plan-G_Log. I was able to get the airports to display if I cancelled the build halfway through, but everything seems to be deleted if I let the whole build go through. I used to use the program in P3D, but haven't been able to get it to install in XP11 yet.

Hi all,

I tried to run Plan-G the first time two weeks ago with the standard version ant then with the test version. I'm using X-Plane 11 (only).
The installation itself went fine but I have my Document folder on my network share. And with this setting it seems like that the to be created data base locks itself.

When I changed the Document folder to a local folder it seems to be better, but it is not succeeding but at a different point.
Correction.... it took a while (without any change in the log) but it finally succeeded!

So I created the data base using the local path and then I moved it to the folder on my network. And it works.

I would prefer, to be able to select a data path individually before creating the data base!

P.S. As a data Provider I use Navigraph.

Any help is welcome.
Best wishes

You can. :) This was added to the current build (see the notes). Change the path in Settings->General, and restart Plan-G.

Hi Tim, I have tried version 3.2 in FSX-SE and P3D v4 and in both cases there was not a problem either loading the program to the location I wanted. However, I have a problem with compiling a data base for P3D v4. It compiles OK, but it is not detecting the UK2000 airfields. I thought it may be because I have the new method for inserting scenery, not in the cfg file, but FSDT fields are inserted the same way and they all show, I have tried pointing Plan G at the UK2000 location, but to no avail.

I do not have this problem with FSX-SE where everything has gone in fine.

One other point, that I have always had with P3D and that is I can only connect Plan G using FSUIPC.

Norman

[tim arnot]

Have you tried putting the UK2000 folders into Plan-G's additional scenery folders list? That should capture anything that doesn't have a scenery.cfg entry.

Also, 3.2 can use the P3D native simconnect library. You need to put a valid simconnect.cfg into the Plan-G program folder and select "Simconnect (P3D)" from the connect options. It's way more reliable than the old FSX library.

[may433]

I've installed V3.2, ran the database builder on P3D v4 (including UK2000 sceneries) and it worked faultlessly.

[Aussie157]

Finally my database creation problems are a thing of the past  ;D. Knew if I waited long enough it would be fixed  8).

[normandean]

Hi Tim, yes I have put a pointer to the UK2000 folder in the options/locations but no joy.

Norman

[tim arnot]

Hmm. Can you attach your log please?
