Edit:  I just noticed that the option to create or update the database is also greyed-out.  I wonder if Plan-G is still looking for an FSX install along the way even though the database was created on another computer with FSX installed?  Do I need to point Plan-G to a Network share with FSX maybe?

Yep.  That's it!!  Seems Plan-G needs FSX, or at least a path to FSX in the Registry.  I inserted a path to an empty FSX folder into the Registry using FSXRegUtility and Plan-G connected very nicely.

My Simconnect.cfg file is in the app folder and is a duplicate of the one for the other app that seems to be working as it should.  This seems to be just one of those Simconnect mysteries....  I apologize to the OP for apparently hijacking his thread.  Perhaps he can share his experience when he gets it working, or not.

Thanks, Tim.  Appreciate the quick response.  I have all that in place and it is working for another Simconnect application but the Connect option in Plan-G is still greyed-out and unavailable for connection, it appears.  The log simply stops at the point of displaying the default map location.

I have installed all three versions of the Simconnect SDK.

Thanks for the help and for the nice application, although I favor keeping the user aircraft centered on the moving map display.

I was just about to ask a similar question.  I have been able to get Plan-G to run over a network only when the remote computer has FSX installed (but not running).  When I tried with a remote computer that has only the Simconnect tools installed (from RTM, SP1, and SP2/Acc SDKs), the Connect option is grayed out as if Plan-G is looking for something that is part of a complete FSX install??  There may be a way to fool it into thinking that FSX is there?  I used the files from an FSX-machine after the database had been created.
