Since a couple of days I am facing the following issues:

1) PF2000 starts with runtime error 6, because the the airplane speed automatically changed to unrealistic values. With a manual correction of the cfg file PF2000 starts
2) A compiled Flightplan with FL330 will be interpreted by PFE as a flight level of 9000 - 15000 ft

Any idea?

I am using PFE version 2.6 with FSX under Windows 7 64-bit.

Thank you in advance.

The latest version of PFE is 2.11, please update first, see the pinned topic at the top of the forum to see how to do a manual update (accumulative update) if the auto update function in PFE isn't working.

And what do you have your FL set to in PF 2000?

I have set FL340, but PFE does not allow me to go higher than FL130-150.

I have reinstalled my whole computer and everything was working fine until this evening. I did try to compile with PFE2K a flight plan and before that, changed the aircraft to 747-400. The compilation was not working and I canceled PFE2K. The restart was closed with a Overflow Error 6 message. PF2000.CFG contained a CruiseSpeedIAS=408354. So I corrected it to 408 and I was able to compile a flight plan with a flight level of FL310. But after I started FSX and PFE I got a max flight level of FL110. Any idea?

Nope, no idea without a lot of investigation with your original flight plans, PFE converted flight plans, ADV files, debug logs, etc, etc.

As an easy workaround why not check you flight plan altitudes within PFE and change them to whatever you want.... very quick and easy to do

Sorry but that seems impossible to me.... please send me the ADV flight file plus the debug_monitor.log... unless you've run another flight since this happened, in which case send me the old_debug_monitor.log file. These files can be found in the ...\PFE\Logs folder. If, however, you've run more that two more PFE flights since experiencing this problem then the logged data is no longer available, in which case please try to recreate the issue and then send me the files.
