If they are showing up on the map, then you should be able to see them in-game ...try going into the game and pressing the '[' or the ']' keys ..this will target the previous/next player (provided they're are players in game) and show you how far they are from you....this may give you an idea of where to find them. If this fails, then it has me stumped.

I purchased this at full price and ten mins later it was available on steam at 25% discount, but no matter, I love this little baby - I shall be using this extensively alongside my over-used Maule. The Flight Team have done a great job on this model, it's a shame that they've been shut down, because this plane gives us a glimpse of what could have been. BUY IT - it breathes life into Alaska - and will add months to your Flight enjoyment.

This is one of those posts that make me slap myself in the face and scream (much to the wife's amusement), why the heck didn't I think of this ...DUH . Great idea thanks.

The suggestion was for it to be changed so that it is pointing to the current version, whom and how that's done is not of concern so much. Being somewhat new to this forum, I do not know who moderates it, I assumed that J van E being the OP would have some control over his tutorial (or at least know who did).

Airport to change - Flight = Golovin (PAGL) - Plan G = Golovin (N93) Also I noticed that you made a list of changes you've made to the database, these included Airports that you had deleted from the database as they arent in Flight but show up in Plan G, this has caused a problem for me as I use Plan G for FSX too and now I have airports missing (temp fix, I've reverted back to my original file)

Flying Wild Alaska - Season One/ Episode One - Flight 2 - Flight Plan is now available for download, I have posted info and a link on the Steam thread that can be found here:- Flying Wild Alaska Flight 2 Enjoy Tony

Thanks took only 8 mins from the dropbox, must be skydrive connection. ..usually get skydrive files at full throttle, but hey it's all good...thanks

I dont know if there's currently a lot of traffic but when I try to download this file it's going to take 4hrs, yet I have a 100MB broadband line ... traffic across other areas of the net seems fine. - I'll try again later

The sticky that points to your tutorial on the MS Flight Forum is pointing to an older version that doesnt show the link to the database fro plan-g etc this is the link from the sticky http://forum.avsim.n...e-them-in-gmap/ and this is the current thread http://forum.avsim.net/topic/379059-how-to-create-flightplans-in-plan-g-and-use-them-in-gmap/

J van E, You might want to update the link under the MS Flight Tutorials that points to this as it doesnt include the updated links to gmap and the Plan-G database file.

Thanks for the response, although I fail to follow what your point is (I've not slept in 3 days so I might be suffering a brain burp)

Not sure I understand 'part 121' and 'part 135' ? (but then Im not up on Aviation Terminology)

I cant recreate flights from Ice Pilots as it is centred around the Northwest Territories of Canada, whereas Flying Wild Alaska fits nicely into the Alaska Wildernes Experience Pack and with these flights I hope to add some interest where the lack of missions and intelligent aerocaches have failed.

I shall be uploading Flight Plans (and instructions) for flights that I've tried to recreate from the 'Flying Wild Alaska' series. This is the first flight from Season One - Episode One. Flying Wild Alaska - Season One/Episode One - Unalakleet to the Nurato Hills Download Unalakleet to Nurato Hills - Flight01 Jim Tweto takes three hunters up into the Nurato Hills, 102 Miles Northeast of Unalakleet. Upon arrival at the selected landing zone, Jim makes three passes in order to airdrop the hunters gear near the landing zone to lighten the load and therefore shorten the distance needed for braking on landing. Shortly after taking off for the return journey the left rudder mechanism fails and jim has to shuffle over into the co-pilots seat in order to bring the plane safely home. Download the file and unzip/extract to a folder of your choice. You will find the flight plan file VFR Unalakleet to Nulato Hunt.pln and a README text file, place the VFR Unalakleet to Nulato Hunt.pln file in the folder where you keep your Flight Plans. The text file gives details of the Flight and any special instructions. The Flight Plan can be loaded into Gmap(recommended) or Plan-G and followed accordingly. Enjoy Next Flight will be posted Monday. PS..this can also be found on the Steam MSF Forum here Steam Thread

I have been working on this very thing for the past 2 weeks, I have all of Season One done and I'm currently working through Season Two after which I shall do Season Three ...I have the plans done, I am now working through giving a little background to each flight . When I have them completed I intend to share them on my Skydrive. So, I should have them all completed within the next two weeks. I will not be doing what is asked by the author of this thread, I am simply creating the Flight Plans using Plan-G and providing a little background for each flight, these Flight Plans can then either be loaded into Plan-G (or any compatible Flight Planner that reads the .pln format) and edited, printed etc ..or they can be loaded into Gmap and followed via GPS.

Personally, I dont care how slow the cub is ...MS have given us a VC plane and the only way we can convince them that this is the way forward is to BUY IT... as all I've done is complain about the cockpitless rubbish they kept spewing out as DLC and harping on about giving us VC planes ..vote with your wallet... I for one will buy it,

Had to have a little grin @ 7 lbs <<< this is a measure of weight, which made me wonder if you gave your donation in the old currency 'Salt' LOL the correct way to write it would be GBP or you can use the '£' symbol. Thanks for the giggle though and I too donated to the author of Plan-G, as I find it far more user-friendly and much better graphicially than a certain Commercial Flight Planner that I paid over £30 for (which also requires FSX installed for its database).

Looks to be like Hard Shadowing, have you got your shadow setting on Low ? if so try it on a higher setting ...another thing could be the antialiasing level. I myself run on ATI cards and have found that I get a simlilar abnomally if I use 'Multi-Sample AA' , I have to use either 'Adaptive Multi-Sample AA' or 'Super Multi-Sample AA', not sure if you card offers the same, if it does, try changing the type of AA being used.

Just a suggestion - but I have found that if I jump straight into a Job and try to connect Gmap that it invariably fails to connect unless I first start the engine (if it is in a cold state).

I was having slow loading issues yesterday, but I think it's possibly just peak times or something

I pretty much fly the same way that you do Jeroen, but I dont use Approach Charts as I dont know how to read them.

I've shared a folder on my Skydrive ... drop a copy of your .ini file into it and I will take a look at it for you.. link is here REMOVED Oh BTW, the .ini file has to be in the same folder as the FSWidgetsGMap.exe file that you are running Gmap from P.S. Make sure you have some plans in the Plans folder, I know this sounds obvious, but I made that mistake once and thought it wasnt working. EDIT: I have removed the shared folder as it is now not required.

You are most welcome, I'm surprised the author of Plan-G didnt include it, as the FSX SDK has been available for sometime, which obviously relaxes the licensing issue somewhat , although the file isnt directly a part of FSX anyway, it is built from infomation that is held within FSX. I find Plan-G to be a valuable aid to flying VFR in Alaska and thought it rather silly that a Free App was restricted by the need for a database file that is built from outside of itself, so I hosted the file after building the database in Plan-G. I am glad to help the Flight Community where I can, as I wish to see MS Flight succeed and little apps like this add further interest and therefore support to it.

I am the owner of the database file that's posted on the Steam Forums ..and you have my permission to post a link to the file(s) that are hosted on my Skydrive. Also, I store my Flight Plans in a folder that I share out on Skydrive, so as I create new Plans they are immediately available via the 'Flight Plans' link given on that post (which you may also post here), so it's worth checking that link from time to time.
