Hi Tim,
I know that there are a lot of items under construction. My topic is the creation of the data base using the defined folder (since 144 you have partly embedded this). It is still not working.

To summarize the situation:

• Windows 10 default document path is set to a network drive (e.g. \\diskstation\srv-xxx\Dokumente\) therefore Plan-G will use this by default.
• In Plan-g I entered a local path to store the database (e.g. D:\Spiele\Plan-G Files)

What goes wrong?

• Plan-G still use the network drive:

• There will be sharing violations. e.g.

08:08:21.9 Data Source = \\diskstation\srv-detlev\Sicherung\Dokumente\Dokumente\Plan-G Files\Data\PlanG3_P3D.sdf
08:08:21.9 IsDataLoaded: There is a file sharing violation. A different process might be using the file. [ \\diskstation\srv-detlev\Sicherung\Dokumente\Dokumente\Plan-G Files\Data\PlanG3_P3D.sdf ]

• At the end there is again a sharing violation and the program must  be terminated manually

P.S.: Leaving the setting to pint to the network drive wil also not help as the sharing violation will still be there.

I understood, that your solution is to use the manually defined path completely (if any) and no longer point to the default windows document path.

Thanks for helping

Hi Tim,

Thanks for the answer and the first implementation.

Unfortunately, it only works, if a well defined data base already exist. You can't come to the Options folder if there is no data base found as the only allowed actions are to Generate a new Data base or to use the data tools....
So please add a "path" setting field directly on the "Generate Database" screen otherwise it will drive us in circles.

Thanks.

Best wishes
Detlev

I would prefer, to be able to select a data path individually before creating the data base!

P.S. As a data Provider I use Navigraph.

You can. :) This was added to the current build (see the notes). Change the path in Settings->General, and restart Plan-G.

Hi all,

I tried to run Plan-G the first time two weeks ago with the standard version ant then with the test version. I'm using X-Plane 11 (only).
The installation itself went fine but I have my Document folder on my network share. And with this setting it seems like that the to be created data base locks itself.

This is already in the beginning but at the end it is also (and here it hangs):

When I changed the Document folder to a local folder it seems to be better, but it is not succeeding but at a different point.
Correction.... it took a while (without any change in the log) but it finally succeeded!

So I created the data base using the local path and then I moved it to the folder on my network. And it works.

I would prefer, to be able to select a data path individually before creating the data base!

P.S. As a data Provider I use Navigraph.

Any help is welcome.
