Post subject:  FSX not starting after loading PFE

Hello.

The problem I am having is after hitting the "Connect to..." button, FSX doesn't do anything. I thought it should load the flight I converted?

I did everything by the book numerous times. I even installed a fresh copy of XP on a spare HDD and installed only the required software.

I have checked this forum but not found a similar problem.

I originally used Windows 7 Pro and then tried Windows XP Pro.

Any help would be great as this looks a great program.

Hi,

Start FSX first and when your plane is on the correct parkingspot go to PFE and press connect to ....
PFE does not start FSX ;)

Thanks for the reply.

Not sure how to load the plan from the fsx flight planner. I usually work things out.

So does pfe load the flight plan?

I have fsx running, the flight plan has been converted, I press Connect to FS, then what, because after that nothing happens.

I have all updates installed.

FSUIPC4 is installed.

Runways database has been updated.

As far as I can see, everything is installed correctly.

I open PFE and convert a .pln.
I open PF2K and compile the .pln.
I open FSX.
I open PFE and load the compiled .pln and hit Connect to FS.

What am I meant to do next?

I must be missing something really obvious but can't for the life of me see what.

I had the .pln files in the wrong folder.

I'll give it a try now. Thanks for helping.

Yes, thanks Dave. I went through with a fine toothcomb and concluded that my edited .pln's were not in the right folder.

Once I put them in the right folder it worked and up popped the dialogue in-game.

Thanks again for the help, and what a great addition.
