HI,
reporting back with the solution that worked for me just to give closure to this issue in case anyone might experience the same.

It seems that for some reason, PFE is using PFE_FS9_Freq.dat when checking for current FSX frequencies which are produced by database rebuild.
Since I use FSX, the rebuild happens in the file labeled PFE_FSX_Freq.dat. When loading a flight plan it wrongly checks the FS9 variant of the file which was not updated by PFE because it reads out that the current sim is FSX.
Mainly I got different frequencies than those in FSX but for some airports, LGAV for example, none.
In some cases, with no freq to convert when loading a flight plan, in file freq_conversion.dat an error message appears.
The file can be opened with notepad by the way.

The solution was to copy and rename the file PFE_FSX_Freq.dat produced by database rebuild into PFE_FS9_Freq.dat and replace the old one.
This has to be done every time the database rebuild is run.

So, if you experience false freq in pfe or different than in FSX try this.

Why did you delete the fs9 files initially? The basic install creates a base set but you had no such files if I remember correctly.

What I should have mentioned and I didn't is that this solution came with the support of the dev team of pfe. Thanks!

The files were there allright, did not delete anything.
The pfe_fs9_freq.dat was created by the reinstall every time.

Had a very similar problem. Always wondered why the freqs PFE was using differed from those FSX had. Read this and copied PFE_FSX_Freq.dat to PFE_FS9_Freq.dat, and now the frequencies seem to be ok.

Anything I can check or do to remedy this?

That's the workaround for now. Why the problem occurs I still have to investigate.
