Installing
As Plane Plotter needs access to its installed directory, it may be better with Windows Vista to install to C:\Tools\PlanePlotter\ rather than to C:\Program Files\COAA\PlanePlotter\. This isn't a hard and fast rule, but it simplifies some directory names later.
I also installed my SBS-1 to C:\Tools\Kinetic\ for the same reason. You may need to tell add-ons such as GAS SBS-1 Popluate, FindFlight, or FlightDisplay about the changed location. I also recommend installing those accessories to C:\Tools\.
Using
Help Missing
The first versions of Windows Vista did not include the Windows Help program for the earlier .HLP file format. You can download WinHlp32 here. However, this is no longer required as Plane Plotter now includes information in the newer HTML Help format.
Intermittent display updates
When using with an SBS-1 and the BaseStation software, some people have found that Plane Plotter does not update as regularly as it might. I have written a small program called FileWakeup which helps with this problem. You can download FileWakeup.zip here. This program is not required when using the TCP method to extract data from an SBS-1 to Plane Plotter.
