I see you have your Plan-G Files folder on \\psf\Home\Documents\Plan-G Files. Is this a network share? If so, you'll need to move it to a local folder, because the database engine won't work properly with network or cloud drives.

You can set the Plan-G Files folder through the Database Build Options dialog.

That's got it Tim!

I deleted the folder which was placed by my virtualisation software, Parallels, in my Mac documents folder, created a new Plan-G Files folder in C:\Plan-G Files, built the DB in Plan G and, it works!
Parallels runs my Windows 7 in it's own window within my Mac's main system so I can share files...etc between the two platforms. It does this via a network connection between the two. So by creating a Plan G directory in the C:\ directory, your app is able to access the files it needs.

Now I 'm reading the pdf manual and learning about your app. I created a quick flight plan and even added a couple of User waypoints that were not extant when FSX nav data was created. I saved & exported the plan for FSX and loaded it in. Everything works. I can't wait to fly this plan later today.

Your app is spectacular! It is chock full of features and data entry/display functions and the UI is gorgeous and a pleasure to work with. 8)

Thank you for getting this issue fixed, as well as my initial registration login issue. I very much appreciate it.

I wish you clear skies and tails winds, Tim!

 Tim,

Now that I can post here, I'm pasting the paragraph I wrote in the other thread that describes my situation.

After reading some of the posts in your forum, I'm guessing it might be a network problem for me too as Parallels runs through it's connection to my Mac I think via a network protocol. I'm not a tech guru, but I can understand allot of what  causes issues like this.

If it turns out that this is the problem, I saw you comment in another thread to have Plan G run on the main desktop machine the user has and then transfer over the db to his laptop with a copy of Plan G on it. I do have an old PC but I never use it. If you determine that this is the same road I should take after looking over the log file, maybe doing the same thing and then transferring the db to my Plan G install on my Virtual Windows machine will do the trick.

The Plan G database creation does not work and I'm in a unique situation as I run Windows using an app called Parallels on my Mac Pro which is a virtualisation program. I run Windows 7 in it so I'm able to run FSX and other older Windows games within this virtual window whilst still having access to my Mac. I created this account so I could send you the log file to see if you could figure out the issue I'm having with the database creation in Plan G.


Let me know what you think. I very much appreciate you taking the time to try and help me and no matter what happens, I just wanted to say thank you!
