allardjd 1,853 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 I've just been playing with it. Tim has included support for Windows Shortcut files in the Charts feature in this version (in addition to the formerly supported jpgs and pdfs). This change now allows one copy of a STAR to be placed anywhere in the Charts location and then using a series of (tiny) Shortcut files named for each airport to which the STAR applies. Airport diagrams and approach plates were not a problem because they only applied to one airport. STARs were more difficult because those can apply to many airports. This change makes it easy to have the applicable STARs show up for an airport. In one of my test cases, a 300K STAR file can be opened in Plan-G using a 1K Shortcut file.I've tried that and it works perfectly. Hats off to Tim again!!! John 1 Link to post Share on other sites

allardjd 1,853 Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Here's an example of what you can now do. Note the flyout menu contains SIDs, STARs, IAPs and all the plates of my Airport Diagrams. With the addition of the support for Windows Shortcuts, you really could include most anything on this menu.

needles 1,011 Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 I'm glad you pointed out that Plan-G is 'Donation ware' Joe. It would be nice if everyone using Tims excellent add-on would donate even £1, although I see that as a paltry amount considering what you get with Plan-G. Thanks Tim for another fine update.
