Database problem

Dear Tim, mr Arnot,
I use planG on a laptop, connected via a local network. If I build the database, addon scenery is not displayed on the map. E.G. I use NL2000, all dutch airports are amended compared to fsx default.
I've pointed plang to the correct location of the scenery.cfg. But the addon data don't show up.
I now have manually pointed plang to the locations of the addon airports, and now they DO show up.
I hope you have an idea what might be the cause.
Thank you,
Gert Visser

If you are building across the network, it could be a sharing problem - maybe one or more folders isn't shared, or has a path that doesn't translate well across the LAN. An alternative is to install Plan-G on the local FS PC, build the database there, and then copy the built database to your laptop.

Hope that helps.

Dear Tim,
Thanks for your tip.
I tried it and it works.
BTW, I use navigraph data for efb, I presume plan-g doesn't take these into account building the database?
Sincerey yours,
