Troubles getting Plan G to see addon airports

Ive tried everything I can think of, rebuilding scenery.cfg, file ownership etc etc.  Im running Plan G on a networked PC that has full control privilages on the FSX directory and the program data directory.  Yet every time I tell Plan G to rebuild the data base it fails to detect my addon airfields.  Ive used clearallsettings each time Ive attemptped to rebuild the database.  Would be grateful for assistance

EDIT: UAC is off on both PC's.

Cheers

Your scenery.cfg has a lot of scenery folders hard-coded to G:\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\.....

You need to map G: on your network PC so that that path will work from both machines.

Opps new I did something different last time I tried Plan G *blush*

Thanks Tim.  Would it also be worth mapping prog data too?

Smiffy

OK with the drives mapped Im still getting the same problems.  Looking in the log file confims this:

directory error: Could not find a part of the path

Any way Im giving up for this evening.  Attached another copy of the log file

Check your mapping -- it's very easy to get it a level up or down. You need to be able to browse to (e.g.) G:\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\FSAddon\Plum Island\Scenery\ from your Plan-G PC. Make sure you can do it in Explorer.

Hi Tim, thanks for your all your help.  Everything is working now.  Must have been tired last night and did something funky when mapping the nextwork drives  :-[
