I am still on the DEMO version. By my knowledge I never stated anything else. Could this be the reason?
That did not help. I am using version 3.0.3 and all files were there for 3 sims.
That's what threw me!
Allright. I made a rerun of makerwys.exe V.4.696 (most recent) this PM.
PF3 goes to my other PC where P3D resides in the P3D root directory where I selected the newborn runways.csv 8-3-2016 15:28. Then PF3 starts to build the database.
When completed I exit the database page and after that the option page and PF3 crashes for the same reason as described before. Sin ce this has probably something to do with the skin (I use the PF3 default) I don't care and restart the program.
If you turn skins off completely it won't happen at all
Then I check the SID/STAR page for EHBK (P3D) and it comes up with the old RWY# 04-22. When I select FSX, I get the new ones 03-21, which are in the runways.csv.
Looking in the Data directory, I see:
ATIS_FSX.dat is updated; 4 x LU* are updated; 5 x PF3_FSX are updated; 2 x PF3FSXData are updated; and the rest of the files are untouched.
In my humble opinion, PF3 has the idiea that I'm on FSX instead of P3D doing the database buildup.
There must be something wrong somewhere.

And you definitely don't have a dummy FSX.EXE file in your P3D folder?
Have a look at the Rebuild section in the PF3.INI file, it will tell you there what FS PF3 thinks you're using. When you first run PF3 this entry will be empty and then updated the first time you do a rebuild. After that this will be the FS folder the rebuild will default to when you're prompted to select the CSV file so if it thinks you're running FSX it will have opened in the FSX folder and you might have then selected the wrong CSV file.
