Hi Tim, thanks for your help. But I will own up to my light bulb moment. Since I had my new laptop I have nor used FSX much and only went back to it last week. I forgot that I had not yet installed the 2 service packs. What an idiot I am. Sorry to waste your time. A sign of Old age I am afraid. Regards

I have been using the real world date and time. I will give it a go trying past and future dates and time.

Thanks

Initially I had problems connecting Plan G to FSX but after installing FSUIPC4 that was cured. When connected the map does not move to the aircrafts location and if I move the map myself there is no yellow aircraft or dust trail. But if I use Plan G for x-plane all works well. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, attached log file to help.
