[ananda]

Is anybody there?

[dempsey]

ananda,

I recommend that you install the latest version: Plan-G v3.2.0.144 for Windows 7 – 10 (requires DotNet v4.6.2). Click "Main Site" at the top of this page and then scroll down to the download link.

[tim arnot]

Was there a question?

Why does it not work?

[tim arnot]

Why does what not work?

I'm trying not to be dense here, but I really don't understand what your problem is.

[ananda]

3.2.0.144 doesn't work.

It is the same scenerio as the log file in the first post.

Then nothing happens.

[tim arnot]

Are you running as Administrator? Is your firewall / antivirus blocking it?

If you're connecting to the same FSX in both cases, from the same PC, these are pretty much the only things that can be different.

[ananda]

It is the same FSX and scenario running on an XP machine.

The two versions of Plan-G are on a W7 machine.

[ananda]

OK.

I was using the same directory for the Plan-G files for both the beta version and release.

I changed the directory but it seems to be missing some extra directories:

Beta:

\\I7\use
Charts
Data
DEM
Plan-G_L
Profiles
Trail
WX

Release:

\\I7\users\Admin\Documents\Plan-G Files_3.2>dir /b
Plan-G_Log.txt
WX

[tim arnot]

That's because your "release" folder isn't the Plan-G Files folder.

Plan-G files are stored in My Documents\Plan-G Files\ and nowhere else.

v3.2 allows you to substitute "My Documents" for somewhere else, because it doesn't play nicely with systems that have "My Documents" on a Cloud drive.

But it's not relevant to setting up a Simconnect connection.

Another thing to check is, does your FS PC have a reserved IP address? If not, that has likely changed from the one in your cfg.

[ananda]

The ip address  is reserved, the beta version uses it correctly.

The error now reported is:

13:57:07.0 HelipadsInBounds: System.Data.EntityException: The underlying provider failed on Open. ---> System.Data.SqlServerCe.SqlCeException: The path is not valid. Check the directory for the database. [ Path = C:\Users\Admin\Documents\Plan-G Files_3.2\Data\PlanG3_FSX.sdf ]

ie. File missing from Plan-G Files_3.2 which is where I specified  the files should be.

[tim arnot]

As I said above, you cannot rename the Plan-G Files folder, only relocate it.

[ananda]

OK.
