Plan-G / Re: Build datas base grayed out.

Thanks for the ILS update coming.

It has been too long since I installed FS but  how I normally install is for all users. I am the only user on my computer, except for G'kids playing games while I am there.

Tim, Thank you for your patience. I now have a FS9 data base!! Now I will try to leave you alone for a while as I learn to use Plan-G. Oh well I do have one more question, does plan-g show the ILS approaches? I have not found them yet.

If I understand the instructions correctly, I have to buy WideClient.
I am attaching a screenshot that shows I can connect FS9 to Plan-G. It will show the plane icon at KSEA & I have also imported a flight plan from FS9. I do not understand why I cannot build a DB when I am obviously connected to the program.

I will try to attach 2 screen shots that show the initial message about building the data base & then the screen I receive when I try to build the data base. The cursor is on the FS9 Build icon but there is no change at all when I click it. Also note that the FSX data icon is highlighted. I cannot highlight the FS9 icon.

Plan-G is installed in C:\Plan-G & FS9 is installed in C:\program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9 & I am using XP OS.
I have FS9 set up to be shared with my laptop but the desktop is the main location, it is also connected through the ethernet cable to the internet. Could this be causing a problem?

After going through the manual, I attempted to get the FS9 Database, no joy. I still receive the same error message. However if I try to connect to FS9, I can use plan-G as a moving map. I just do not have any airport infon or navaids on the map.
I still get the message that the FS9 database needs to be built???

The build data base icons for FSX & FS9 are grayed out, how can I build the data base?
I have been able to connect to FS9 but the error message states that I have the FSX data base & to build the FS9 database. I have no idea how the FSX database was loaded as I do not have FSX installed & the Build has been grayed out on both programs since I have started.
