Hi, think I have the same problem :( At least on set up building database. I've used and setup PG before without any probs over the years :)

New install stays with the message "scanning ORBX\FTX_VECTOR_CVX
Doesn't actually seem to clear? Left it overnight.

There is nothing as useful as PG especially as a VFR tool for me so I really hope I can get it working again. Doesn't ever crash just doesn't advance.

Kind Regards

Matt

Hi Thanks for the reply, I've spent a few more hours still no joy. I bought widefs, could get to connect, same with FSUIPC and simconnect obviously, can help thinking there must be simpler way of connecting two machines running the same os together!!!!  I swap files etc between the two all the time.

Anyway any help greatly appreciated, I'm using FSX follow at the moment but its far less functional than PG, no planning for a start, although its painless to connect!

13:01:15.6 Cleanup

Hi all :)

I've got a £25 donation and an order of mugs if someone can help me get plan-g working networked between
Two windows 7 PC's with a direct Ethernet connection on prepar3d v2.1.

I've had simpanels working between the two painlessly and fsx follow and hdgauges on my ipad


I hate networking, never seems to work for me!

I have read all the manual and a lot of the blogs but have ended up very confused!
I bought widefs and I already use fsuipc , no joy there either :(

I'll need you to be patient and answer a lot of dumb questions, can you help?
