Hi,

When connecting PFE to FSX, an error message pops up saying "PFE Database Rebuild FAILED!..." and PFE failed to connect. I tried rebuilding the database (from Options #1) again and PFE said that the rebuild was successful. But when connecting to FSX, the same error message pops up. I use MakeRwys 4.29, FSX SP2, PFE 2.11.1 (updated via manual installation method) with Voice Set Expansion Pack and XPack2.

Also, I havn't experienced this problem before installing Voice Set Expansion Pack and XPack2. I was asked to try "How to rectify a suspected bad installation" after installing Voice Set Expansion Pack and another time for XPack2. So, I did it. Now, I did it again for the above specified problem too. But, it still doesn't work!

I have Radar Contact 4.3 installed too, which I was using before I installed PFE. Does that create any problem?

Check in your PFE/Data folder for the following files which should each be dated when you last ran the rebuild:-

PFE_FS?_Freq.dat
PFE_FS?_Gates.dat
PFE_FS?_Runways.dat
PFE_FS?_Taxilink.dat

Do you have each of these files? Are are all dated the same and roughly the same time?

Yes, I have all the files stated above.

PFE_FSX_TaxiLink.dat has a different time(21:02). The other three files have the same time(02:17).

Also, all the four files have the same date(29 May 2009).

Okay, there was a problem then creating the Taxilink file.

Please email me the DBRebuild2.log file from the PFE\Logs folder

Hello Dave,

first of all, thank you very much for your continuing development and support of your Products! I use PFE now for every flight, and since Version 2 it is a great program. :D

2 Questions:

As i read this topic, i checked my PFE_FS?_ Files, and found that all the Files were the same date, but not time. All files have 11:45, but the Taxilink File has 12:01. Is this in the Range, when you say "roughly" the same Time?

And second, in the Updates Folder i have read the File "version 2.11.0", it says:

25.04.2009 16:40:58 - AutoUpdates Log Started 25.04.2009 16:40:58

And the File "version 2.11.1" says:

01.06.2009 09:24:41 - Version 2.11.1 not found in control file!

Is there a Problem, when the Log says "Validation failed" and "Version 2.11.1 not found in control File" ?

Sorry for my bad English and the long thread!

Your files seem up to date.

As for the control file... don't worry... 2.11.1 is the latest version
