USA Airspaces not showing in X-Plane 11

Please help.
I just installed Plan-G v3.1.4.129 for X-Plane 11 on Windows 10. Everything works fine except the airspaces in the USA. I have checked and the file usa.txt is in the directory "D:/X-Plane 11/Resources/default data/airspaces".

How can I fix this problem?

As far as I remember X-Plane-11 airspaces are not yet fully processed by Plan-G.

Correct. There's a partial implementation for X-Plane 10, but I had to take that out for 11. It'll get back in soon.

Thanks for the information. I look forward to seeing this change.

I noticed in another post "Airspace input error while building database"  that it is now possible, with version 3.2.0.144, to have Airspaces with X-Plane 11. I have re-build the database but still no Airspaces.

My usa.txt file is located in "X-Plane 11\Custom Data\airspaces\.

Am I missing something?

I uploaded the OpenAir allusa.v17.08-17.2.txt from http://soaringweb.org/Airspace/ and put that in X-Plane 11\Custom Data\airspaces\. Worked fine for me.

I checked your log file and did not see the processing of airspace(s) at all. Only Tim can answer this, but I noticed that you use French language (correct?) and I am wondering if that has anything to do with this.

Airspaces is the first thing it processes, if it finds the folder. First thing I'd check is the spelling of the folder name.

Tim, the path looks OK. See attached file. Any other suggestions?

Problem fixed. It seems that it was a French language Problem. I created a new user, than re-created de database.

I followed the recommendations above. Installed the allusa.v17.08-17.2 file in D:\X-Plane 11\Custom Data\airspaces. The DB is building now. The first attempt failed; I wonder if it's because the folder was named "Airspaces" instead of "airspaces". Another question I have is the usage of .air files, should they be modified to .txt? It seems Plan-G is ignoring them when building the XP DB. The file I would like to use is canadian_airspace_265.air. FYI, Plan-G installed on a network.

Well I am happy to report that the airspaces are showing up. The problem was probably in naming the folder "Airspaces" instead of the correct "airspaces"

Sometimes lanes are case sensitive and sometimes they're not. Thanks for clarifying the issue.
