Every time I start Plan-G I got the message ask me to rebuild the database !?!?!?!?
Do iI need to put in a specific diretory?

Just clic on "build FS9 (or FSX) database"  ... all automatic

Have built data base for FSX all seems OK, but, when I try to connect to Flight Sim an error message appears,unable to connect to F/S(is F/S running?)If you are using FS9- check you have FSUIPC installed---see log for more details????I do not even have FS9 on my computer only FSX.Obviously something is missing as this same software is successfully installed and operating on my laptop. Where is this log I should see for more details?
Any helpers?
Thanks

Look at this post http://www.tasoftware.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=193.0 ...
and red the manual. I'm sure you find the solution.

The "log file" is in the directory you have install Plan_G.

Sample of my Plan-G_log.txt

13:52:04 Error saving VOR IHL: Unknown

....
I'ts seem not be able to write the database !??!%!%!%?!%
Help! ??? ???

tim arnot

No, that error won't stop the database being written (or nobody would be able to write databases). It's more likely to be something local.

What OS are you using? Did you install Plan-G in Program Files? (specifically advised against in the Readme) Have you set Run As Administrator?

aaaaaaaa

Hi Tim!

I use Windows XP with admin right.
On my PC everything works fine!
Plan-g is installed on my drive (H:\Plan-G\)
My FSX is installed on my drive F:\FSX\

Every time I start the program, it will ask me to rebuild the database.
After the rebuild, some menu icon are gray.

Scratch head !!!!! ???

Have a look in the log file (Plan-G_Log.txt) and see if there are any errors.

The program is exceptionally good. Very many thanks, Tim.
I have been using Plan-G with FSX on Vista for some time now. However, I can't build FS9 database because it is greyed out. I assure you, FS9 IS installed and fully working on my computer.
Any way round this problem, please?
Jock

If it doesn't think it's installed, its because it can't find the FS9 entry in the registry. You can tell it where FS9 is located in the Options/Locations dialog.
