Plan-G slowdown

[markself]

First and foremost, THIS IS FANTASTIC SOFTWARE!  Thanks very, very much Tim.
I installed V081 build 389 11-26-09.  It ran great.  Very smooth.  No perceptible frame hits.  I fly heli's in Tongass Fjords FSX.  I created several flight plans & waypoints to different U.S.F.S. cabins located within this scenery area (86).  Also several glaciers and other points of interest (Approx. 80).  With no new software added Plan-G seems to have really come down with a case of the slows.  Now instead of 4-5 sec. connect time with registered FSUIPC it takes well over a minute.  Also the program seems to "Freeze" for several seconds at a time now.  The a/c icon doesn't move and am unable to zoom in/out or access menus.  Windows task manager reports that Plan-G is running.

I've tried moving my heli to another location where there are no waypoints or flightplan loaded, connect time is back to 4-5 seconds and the a/c icon and all other items return to their normal "Fluid" selves.  I tried connecting to an area rather high in waypoints and did not load a flightplan.  This seemed to help some.

Could the rather busy flightplans or the heavy concentration of waypoints be the cause of the slowdown?  Are the waypoints stored in the "Plan-G.mdb" file or the VRP.mdb" file?  If the waypoints are stored in the "VRP.mdb" file, how can I reset this to default?  I really want to get the "Fluidity" of the original Plan-G install back.

Tim, again I really want to thank you very, very much for this incredible piece of software.

P.S. One tiny bit of "Wish List Fluff".  Any possible chance of user definable a/c icons?  That tubeflyer doesn't look anything like my heli :D

Try turning off weather. There's a bug that tries to get weather data for user waypoints, and it bogs the system down.

Tim:
     Sorry to be slow getting back to you.  My weather is already off, so that doesn't seem to be the proble.
     I've played around a bit and have found that if I don't load in a very detailed plan then Plan-G works fine.

GREAT SOFTWARE

Always loved FSNav in FS9.  Plan-G is liek FSNav on the biggest load of steroids around.  Thanks.
