Success...I've now managed to successfully create a database for P3D v3.2. The problem seems to have been that my Program Data folder was marked as hidden in Windows 10. As soon as I unhid it in windows the database build ran through flawlessly.

Maybe this could help a few others out that are having the same problem.

Hi,

Well, I managed to edit the cfg file to stop the weather downloads but I still cannot build a database successfully. I have tried deleting all the sdf files and rebooting several times but still the same.I am getting the same access denied error as Redglyph and I can confirm that I running as Admin. I have also tried moving the Scenery.cfg to my documents folder but still the same:

07:02:35.1 BuildDatabase_Executed: System.IO.IOException: The process cannot access the file 'C:\Users\The Williams Family\Documents\Plan-G Files\Data\PlanG3_P3D.sdf' because it is being used by another process.

I guess I'll have to wait until you have got some time to investigate this.

Many thanks for a great program.I'm sure you'll fix this issue.

Hi,

I may be being a bit dim here,  but unless I'm missing something, I can't get to that settings option for weather until I've built a database as it's a new install. When I open Plan-G the onl;y option I am giveb is th build the database.

Is there a way to get to that option before the initial database build is carried out?

Many thanks,

Mick

Hi,

I am having the same issue in that the database build never completes. In the log file I get a constant run of the same METARS & TAFs being downloaded:

Any ideas? I think Plan G is a fantastic program but until I can get a database to build I cannot use it.

Many thanks,
