No airspaces in my version V3, build 71 on Windows7

[Cvandev]

I looked through forum topics to see if the not showing up of airspaces is a common problem. Doesn't seem so.
I have my FSX and Prep3D on the Windows7 computer and an active Plan-G on a secondary XP computer, on a home network, connected with SimConnect.
I followed Tim's suggestion and also installed Plan-G on the FS computer. Then ran the Data Builder and used the .sdf files in the data folder for the Plan-G on my XP computer.
But, on neither of the two Plan-G's I can get airspaces, although the necessary boxes are checked in the Map ribbon.
In my country settings I use Belgium and decimal point.
Can you help me?

Do you have the various airspace options checked on the View ribbon?

[Cvandev]

In View mode I have "map overlays" checked and in Map mode I have ckecked all 4 boxes: ICAO Airspace, Centre, RDPM Airspace and Special Use.
But no Airspaces will show up.
Is the data for these airspaces loaded from FSX?

Except for the absence of these airspaces I am very pleased with your programm. I like using FlightSim for travelling all over the world (virtually  of course) and your programm is the best I have come across so far, even flying IFR on IVAO, using the lower airways and not switching on an FMC. I still use the official charts, entering the waypoints myself. Works fine!! Thank you.

Yes, the airspace comes directly from FSX.

Can you perform a database build, and then look in the log file immediately afterwards. It will be several hundred K long, but scan to the end and it should say how many airspaces were written into the database. It will also show if any errors occurred during the procedure. The log file is in your Plan-G Files folder.

I rebiult the database as you indicated. I found the log and searched for "error", no errors. But towards the end of the log I noticed the following:

19:03:55.1 Preparing database for new data
19:03:55.2 Writing 0 Airspace Boundaries

When the data is written there are no airspace bounderies.

I also have a laptop with FSX installed, in fact a Windows8 with the 8.1 upgrade. (Your Plan-G also functions well in this new O/S)
So I installed Plan-G and ran  the databuilder.
When it finished and I restarted your programm immediately and saw all the airspaces. The log shows 21258 airspace bounderies.

One way out for me is to include all my add-on airports on the laptop and use the .sdf file from this laptop. But I was hoping that you have an easier solution, and also a reason why the airspace bounderies are not being written.

Thanks for spending your time on me.

That's interesting. I'll have a check when I get home, and see what bgl the airspaces are stored in (you could always try searching the log for 'airspace' in the meantime - it may throw something up)
