Hi Guys
    I have read the other string about simconnect from top to bottom and cannot seem to be able to match my problem to that string.

I have simconnect working for various addons including Avilasoft EFB, ASN and PFPX. I installed the newest version from the website onto my remote computer and it couldn't get the DB to build despite naming the location as described. The only menu i can get up is the data menu. All others are greyed out and unselectable.

I have the latest dotnet installed as advised. Can you help please?

Greta program btw. I have installed it locally on on P3D machine but obviously that work fine. I want to move it to my client asap so i can use it in tandem

Simconnect is not relevant for building the database.

1. Install Plan-G on the computer that runs P3D. Go to the data tab and build the P3D database.
(you should only need to worry about locations if you have more than one version of P3D installed)

2.Install Plan-G on your client PC.

3. When the build has finished on the main PC, close down Plan-G and copy the folder My Documents\Plan-G Files, along with any subfolders to your client PC

Now you can start Plan-G on the client, and you'll have access to all your menus and data.

When you want to connect Plan-G to P3D, you'll need to have a copy of your Simconnect.cfg in the Plan-G program folder. The "index" value in the connection settings dialog refers to the entry in the .cfg, with 0 being the first one.
