Opening saved PLN crashes P3Dv5...

[Ken Hall 2]

First: After creating/saving a new PLN for P3D5 - start P3D - go to Navigation\flight planner - select the saved PLN - 'Load' ~~~ an error window with options to close or wait until fixed - wait for 'fix' (takes from 2 to 6 minutes!) a very large blocky/pixelated partial map appears - after a further few minutes the PLN appears as expected and can be used! However, sometimes the system just crashes while waiting for the 'fix' to work 😞

Second: in use, the map page keeps changing to 12 miles scale - change scale to (say) 100 miles - changes to 100 - but after about 20 seconds changes back to 12 miles!!!

These anomolies have only occurred since installing LNM v2.6 which I have uninstalled BUT the above still NOW occurrs in the previous v2.4.5 which I have reinstalled!

I did recently install new airports from Orbx (I only have Orbx addons in P3D) after those installations I ran the scenery update so there should not be an issue with the scenery.cfg...

On top of Corona virus lockdown this is not doing a lot for my mental health!!!  🙂

Your considered observation would really be appreciated.

Thanks in anticipation...

Can you send a link to the plan? The .lnmpln and the exported .pln.
Do not export the annotated plan. This is only for compatibility there.

Looks more like a P3D issue. Create the same plan in P3D and compare it with the LNM exported PLN.

Hi Alex,

looks like you are correct with the 'P3D issue'...

I tried to create the PLN in P3D and had exactly the same problems with long delays, blocky map pixels and eventually P3D just closed down!!!

I shall carry out a re-installation of P3D abd see where that takes me.

Thanks for your time ~~~ I'll let you know how it progresses!

@Ken Hall Thanks for the feedback. P3D already had funny problems with flight plans in the past (overwriting PLN files when loading). And don't ask me about MSFS🙄.

Still no further forward!

Uninstalled P3D5 Client ~~~ downloaded and installed a 'fresh' Client...

Still the same issues when trying to create a PLN...

Investigating other options as I don't particularly want to have to go through the entire 'un' then re-installation process especially with the slooooooooow download speeds from Orbx!

Bricklaying is looking more and more like a suitable passtime!!!

Hi Alex,

update!

This morning everything just started to function correctly!!!

Relieved but puzzled as to the why and how!

Moving on...

Thanks for your time.

Thanks for the feedback and glad it's working again.

Happy flying!
