V4.1.4.272 No Plan Elevation data

[Oz-Flyer]

Hi there,
I have just installed V4.1.4.272 and tried both "Quick Plan" and loading an old flight plan file and when I open the plan Elevation page(window) I get no data at all.
Window shows:
Height(ft) 0 to 1
Distance (nm) 0 to 1

Cruising Altitude is set to 10,500

Also is there a Discord server?

Thanks for any help
David.

Have you installed the NOAA DEM tiles? (manual p 65)
You can get them from https://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/topo/gltiles.html

No, there's no discord server. Discord is too ephemeral, hard to search and not a particularly good match for providing support.

Agree completely.

Greetings.......

I am also having the same issue.

1. downloaded the 'tiles' from NOAA
2. copied into 'DEM' folder
3. loaded P3dv4 plan
3. No elevation displayed

To test the elevation data - re-installed PLAN-G ver 3 - added 'tiles' to DEM folder
and elevation was displayed correctly.

Thanks Tim (great job on Plan G, as usual)

For version 4, check that you have the DEM tiles in Plan-Gv4 Files\DEM rather than Plan-G Files\DEM (v3). It's an easy mistake to make...

OMG.........I've done it again !! (Forgot an important detail)

Plan Gv4 - Elevation WORKS on the P3d Computer

Here's the part I FORGET to mention - P3d v4 is on a NETWORKED computer. (FSUIPC - Wide Client)
It does not work on the networked computer.

Which computer it's on shouldn't make a difference - so long as the tiles are on the same computer. Have a look in the log (Plan-Gv4 Files\Plan-Gv4Log.txt) - it'll say something along the lines of DEM file not found, along with a path (that may not be the exact text, I'm not near my PC to check)

Okay......we've got it figured out. Success !!

To be sure - I uninstalled - including REMOVING "Appdata\local\tasoftware\PlanG"
And did a full clean re-install - including 'file locations' (first)

Under "File / Locations" the (Mapped) Drive of Prepar3d.exe MUST be shown
Under "File / Locations" the (Mapped) Drive of Scenery.cfg MUST be shown

Once my Remote Computer could find both file locations - Elevation worked.
