is there a verion update for that one or do we settle with v3.1.2.101-xp?

logged in to use it and it said theres a new version available but i havent been able to see it yet on the forum or website

The new version  is for Win7.

If Tim goes by, I search the last ZIP for XP to reinstall it on a PC with XP networked.
I can not find this zip on the main site, it remains only the version Win7.
I have the main folder of my old XP installation, but I no longer have the setup.exe.
I think it should work but I'm not sure, and it's for a different user than me.
I have the setup of 2.05
Thank you in advance.

No, the XP version is now static. Too many new features rely on libraries that won't work in XP, and I simply don't have the resources to maintain two diverging code bases. Sorry.

Thank you very much Tim, fortunately I found the setup version 3.1.2.101. on my archives.
The only problem is the database that remains blocked to the construction of the air routes and I hope to find the solution ...

Hi

I have just read this post re XP version for fs2004. Before discovering Plan G I have fswidgets for a moving map for FS2004. I have recently  discovered the maps won't load anymore due to no support to XP.  Is this the case also with plan g ?

Not specifically, but effectively yes - there are a whole bunch of factors. More and more stuff will stop working with XP, because it's getting left so far behind, and there are no updates or new libraries for it.
