just upgraded to a new i7-975 system with WinXPPro 64bit as my operating system. I discovered that a couple of pieces of hardware (Scanner and Flash Card Reader) as well as some of my old software programs would not work on the 64 bit system.
So, I added a secondary computer with WindowsXP 32 bit as my operating system. I am also implementing this computer for FS programs thanks to WideFS. Thankfully, I see in multiple documentation that ProFlight2000 / PFE is compatible with this format.
I have installed Flight Simulator Commander and it works fine on the client computer so I am pretty sure everything is in order relative to my setup of WideFS .
I have now installed ProFlight2000 / PFE on the client computer. I am able to load flightplans with no problem, but when I click "Connect to FS", I get an error window which states: "This version of PFE supports full taxi guidance but you need to rebuild the PFE database first to activate this new feature for use in FS9!" Behind this window with the red X is My Oncourse Software ProFlight 2000 Emulator display which now shows "Disconnect from FS". This leads me to believe that my flightplan was loaded and activated, but when I click "OK" on the error window. PFE closes and it is disconnected.
Please forgive my ignorance, but how do I "rebuild the PFE database" and get PFE on line?
