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. |
