Runing 237 with X-Plane and I have bugs to report

[SHANED]

I've just started using build 237 for my latest flights and have come across a few problems that need reporting.

1. under Locations, PGv4 is not remembering / storing my Additional Scenery Locations, I drill down and add the location of my custom scenery folder run the database creator and none of the airports I have there are being read and added to the airports database, and when I go back and check under Location the big yellow box is empty.

2. when loading a FMS flight plan created by SimBrief some locations are being wrongly identified, e.g. my last flight from WADL to WIHH passes the intersection TIKUS (which is 29 Nm sw of WADL the staring point of this flight, picture 1 titled SHOULD HAVE) but PGv4 has identified an intersection of the same name some 4201 Nm away and put it in the flight plan! (picture 2 titled WRONG WAYPOINT)

3. PGv4 isn't writing a log flie anywhere?

4. PGv4 is very slow to import a airspace data file to use under X-Plane after exporting it from FSX

5, not a bug but a request, can there be an option to switch between the light AC map symbol and the Jet symbol (as used in PGv3)

1. I'll look into it.
2. What navdata was the Simbrief file built with? What Navdata are you using in Plan-G? Please attach the FMS file.
3. Yes it is. My Documents\Plan-Gv4 Files\Plan-Gv4_Log.txt
4. I'll look into it.
5. Noted.

thanks for replying, I thought maybe it's possible to switch icon when you switch from IFR to VFR ?

No.3 there is no sign of the log file in the Plan-Gv4 Files directory on my machine, I've included a screen shot of the directory

No.2, I'm using the latest Navigraph data 2013 in X-Plane and that is what PGv4 is looking at, I've put the FMS data into a txt file to be able to attach it

as a side note I was running PG3 along side PG4 on this flight and PG3 did produce the correct flight plan and it's log file

No. 1,4 & 5 thank you

For your information I'm on windows 10 and X-Plane 11.50r3 (under steam)

Hmm. You haven't changed the Plan-G Files folder by any chance? (Options->Locations) - that's the only reason off the top of my head that the log wouldn't be there. Do other files - flight plans etc - save ok to that location?

Thanks for the fms file. The lat/lon appears consistent, I'll investigate why it's finding the wrong intersection.

I've not changed anything on the option page with regards to the location of the PGv4 folder, it's pointing to where it should i.e. C:\Users\UKGC\Documents\Plan-Gv4 Files (this is cut and pasted from PGv4) and .plg files save in that directory once told where to go.

I've noticed it seems to be only VOR's that it's getting in the wrong place, intersections & airports are OK, not sure about NDB's, I don't really use them much

I've been doing a bit of investigating and the odd routing only shows when using a simbrief XP11 fms file, if I use a simbrief XP10 fms file PGv4 plots the route correctly

and if I load the XP10 file then export it with PGv4 as XP11 then reload it back in the weird routing shows up again

[tim arnot]

yes, it's definitely a v11 format issue.
