[andyandy]

I have a similar problem, after the last update of windows Plan-G does't work.
I have installed the new version of Plan-G (3.2.2 167) and I have create the  DB, but Plan-G ask me to create again the DB.
I have cancel and reinstall the program but  the problem remain ....
thank you in advance for the support

Sounds like something went wrong with your Windows update. You may need to go through your update log and reapply the patches individually, particularly and DotNet or SqlServer patches.
Alternatively, roll back Windows to the previous version, and reapply the full update.

Reinstalling Plan-G will not affect it.

try the old plan-g 3.1 and run it in compatibility mode with win xp, it unstuck it on my win7 install

I have similar Plan-G message. I get a Build Database, Failed to build database (Object reference not set to an instance of an object.) See log file for more details.
I have the Plan-G latest version v3.2.2 The message appears after building the database. Is this a "Bug"?

What simulator? Please attach the log.

What simulator? Please attach the log.

FSX and P3Dv4.5
Attached the Log in question. I hope you can find for me on what to do with Plan-G to resolve message.
Thanks, Patricio

The airports it reports problems with are UG27 Vaziani and UGA2 Tbilisi Soganlug1, in the P3D build. You could try removing those airports temporarily, and see if it builds then.

If it does build, we'll then need to investigate further what the issue is with those airports...

I can't find UG27 Vaziani and UGA2 Tbilisi Soganlug1 from the Plan-G_Log.txt
Where did you find them?

Actually, it was probably the runway error immediately following that stopped the build, but it doesn't record what airport it was attached to.

It's also worth trying the build in v4, in case the issue has already been fixed...

I checked the Log and the last sentences are:
01:11:37.2 FSUIPC.Disconnect
01:11:37.2 Disconnected from sim
01:11:38.9 Cleanup

I think every time Plan-G loads it starts with a new Log.
I will do another test with the previous scenery errors removed as you found.

Is it Plan-G version 4 ready? Where to find it? Thanks for your great professional efforts.

EDIT: I found those AFCAD UG27 and UG2A and apparently were for P3Dv5. So, I called ADE and compiled those to P3Dv4. Plan-G did build database fine.

It resets the log each day, the first time it's started on that day.

V4 is in alpha, you'll find it in the V4 Alpha boat of this forum.

Plan-G v3 doesn't support P3Dv5 - for that you'll need Plan-G 4.

Can be installed Plan-G both version 3.2 and 4?

[tim arnot]

Can be installed Plan-G both version 3.2 and 4?

Yes. Just install v4 into a different folder - it's entirely self-contained.

Cool! ... great help, the very best.
