After moving over to the steam version of FSX I'm unable to make G-plan see my aircraft when in FSX, I've run the "build Navigation Database" even though I've pointed into the steam app directory which is in my  programs files (x86) folder on my "E" drive. Any advise is greatly appreciated.

The database builder needs to be pointed at your scenery.cfg file, my steam one lives in the folder C:\Users\[my name]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX-SE

Or you could try the folder C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\FSX-SE

The active FSX.exe lives in Steam\steamapps\common\FSX

In order to see your aircraft on the Plan-G map, you need to connect Plan-G to FSX via the "Connect" button. This requires you to set up either SimConnect or FSUIPC as the connection mechanism. Both procedures are described in the manual. Building the navigation database is not relevant to this process.
