Failure to generate new database

[basil hancock]

I have installed the the latest version.  I deleted the old folder before setting up the new one.

I have clicked on the icon to generate the database for FS9.  It runs for a few seconds then closes.  No information is generated and when relaunching it says generate the databases.

Help!!!

BTW what a fantastic piece of kit this is WTG Tim

What does the log say?

I think the typo in the path to fs9 directory could be causing the problem
It should be micrsoft games not microsot games

Somehow, this doesn't look right:

19:51:06 FS directory is: c:\programmes\microsot games\ffightsim9\
19:51:06 Scanning Scenery.cfg (c:\programmes\microsot games\ffightsim9\Scenery.cfg)

Could you please check in the Global\Options\Locations tab, make sure Plan-G "knows" where your FS9 program and scenery.cfg are located.
