Hi Tim

I have just purchased a Windows 10 tablet and installed Plan-G on it.  My Windows 7 PC and my tablet are recognising each other but, obviously, when I go to run Plan-G on my tablet it asks for the data base.  I've tried directing it to my Xplane on the desktop of my PC and also tried to import the data files from the Plan-G on my PC but it won't seem to do it.
I have the XPUIPC installed in Xplane but I notice you have to write something different in it for two computers as opposed to a single PC?
Should I try re-installing XPUIPC?  What is my best next step?
(I've gone to my folders for Xplane and both Plan-G's on both computers and gone to preferences-sharing-advanced options and made sure anyone can share the files.. is this correct or should I have left this alone?)

I've spent time going through the manual but I'm clearly not as clever as I thought I was! It was hard to take but I'm over it now. I know you're gona point me to the page I should have been looking at. lol

Hi

Well it worked with the pv4 only once but now it still keeps saying the error no NIC etc  etc.. and yes, I use both on the same PC.... I then tried 127.0.0.1 but it still said the same thing.  :'(  What is the localhost number...is it the same number for everyone?   Whats DHCP mode?

Also, I get the red planes on the plan G and when I click on them to see where they are going to it always says EDDM to EDDT.  No matter where I am in the world.. any suggestions?

Steve

Hi Chuck...

Thanks!  All sorted now!!

I read the 'readmefirst' over and over again but couldn't work out where I was going wrong.  Clearly I was using the gateway number rather than the IPv4 number and that has made all the difference.   :D  I will get the hang of computers one day!!! Promise!!   :-[

Cheers Chuck and Claude!!

Steve

Thank you.. I got it to work.. but may I ask a couple of questions..

I downloaded the file XPUIPC and then put my computers IP address in the XPUIPC.ini.  But every time I start up XPlane I get an error message saying my IP is wrong and that no NIC was found for that address.  Why would that be?  Even though I now have plan G working so it must be picking it up ok.

Also, in the XPUIPC.ini file there is a load of information regarding ATC, Lufthansa and 737.  what is that for?

Thanks

Steve

Sorry Chuck...

I did a flight plan then pressed to connect to xplane while I had xplane running in the background but it wont connect?

Hi Chuck..

Excellent.. thank you.. all done!  Now I know where I'm going when I'm flying!

Steve ;D

Chuck...

I've been looking at building airports on xplane myself.. there are quite a few over here in the UK that aren't really covered in xplane very well.  It looks like fun to build them close to the real airports... something you can't do in fsx, although fsx does have a lot of professional addons that xplane doesn't.

I want to be able to show off xplane as best I can with realistic looking videos on youtube in the hope more and more people will buy it and more third party companies will get involved.  sometimes xplane can look a bit 'toy townish', if you know what I mean, with box buildings... but I've just built a new high end gaming PC so, once I get going and learn more and more about how to make xplane look as realistic as possible (and I've had great fun finding addons and plugins that really help), I want to start making videos to really show it off to its full potential...though it might take time for me to really get the hang of it. (Watching realistic looking videos on youtube was what got me into FSX in the first place). Plus my corsair psu is playing up just one week after installing it (and corsair aren't the fastest company to get back to you and help you) and my Saitek yoke is faulty so that needs replacing also.. oh the joys of building such machines!!!!  :-\

Chuck.. you're a star!! 8)
It worked.. you know what I was doing wrong...I was clicking on the xplane folder and not knowing where to go from there.. I should have, and now have, clicked on the xplane logo file within the folder (is that the root file?).

Now its all downloaded correctly!

Cheers Chuck!!

Hi Chuck

Thanks for your reply....

I saw the Xplane browse button so which file do I click the browse button to?  I go to desktop/xplane.. then where?  Is there a file I should open it up with within the xplane folder?

cheers

Steve

ps yes windows 7

Hi, I've only just joined so if this question has been answered before.. sorry..

I've downloaded Plan G and ready to start .. but when I click on the Build Navigation Database button only FSX is available.. the others, including XPlane, is in the background and not available to click to start the build.. what should I do?

Thanks
