Nothing seems to get me any where but thank you all for trying.  Incidentally Tim in the last line of your message to which log file do you refer?  I presume the Plan-G log file: which suggests a failure to connect but I would not have a clue what o do about it!!!  I will just have to restrict my enjoyment of Plan-G with FSX.  Cheers - John 

Hi Dempsey - log file attached.  To keep you fully informed please note that today, in an endeavour to help myself (?), I uninstalled Plan-G and reinstalled it using setup_Plan-G_3.1.4.123.test.  I then overrode the exe file with the one Tim suggested in reply #5.  When I started Plan-G I was able to load the databases for FSX and X-Plane 9. Works fine with FSX but still no little yellow plane in X-Plane 9.  Anyhow - thanks for trying.
Cheers - John

No, neither with Lock nor Sync.  If the map is not in aircraft location when it is connected it also does not move with either Lock or Sync on.  Regards John

Thank you Dempsey but alas that did nothing for me.  Regards John

Thanks again Tim.  The file you suggested did allow the creation of a database.  Unfortunately the yellow aircraft does not appear and therefor also no trace of a flight.  Regards John

Because of your suspicions I uninstalled X-Plane 9 and reinstalled it in C:/X-Plane 9.  I did the same with XPUIPC.  I then did the same with Plan-G - which incidentally is v 3.1.4.123.  I think I have attached the Plan-G log file?
With X-Plane 9 running when I click on connect I get a small black square, with a upright white arrow, at the left under Find.  This does not mean much to me??  There is no connection in that my 'plane does not appear in the Plan-G map.  When I try to build an X-Plane data base I fail as I mentioned earlier.
Thanks for making suggestions - John

Thank you Tim.  I have given the location "C:\Users\gibboj\Desktop\X-Plane 9".  I also have XPUIPC. All I get is a message "Preparing database for new date" and the green ar running across the bottom of the screen and yhis situation goes on forever.  I am using Windows 10 Pro 64 bit - Processor   Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU    Q8300  @ 2.50GHz, 2499 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s) - display adapter nVidia GForce 9400 GT.  Does this additional info help.  Appreciate your response. Thank you - John

Hello - this is an old (age) newbie.  Has anyone managed to make Plan G work with X- Plane 9.  I can't create an X-Plane database or connect to X-Plane 9.  Thank you
