Hi Dave and all,
following instruction I created a folder pf3_display under "C:\Users\737dr\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages" and put in pf3_disp.dat, pf3_display.exe, pf3_display.ini and pf3_Frqs.dat.
Starting pf3_displax.exe (after PF3 has been connected to MSFS) it shows the behaviour shown in the appended screen shot. All frequencies appear, but the pf3_disp.dat are missing.
In the options "use pf3 display" is ticked on.
I Could not find any solution within the manual.
What I'm doing wrong?

regards
CFG023

I don't know where you saw instructions about installing PF3 Display into that folder but you certainly don't have to... you can run it from the PF3/PF3_Displayer folder and this 'may' be why you're experiencing issues... maybe something went amiss when copying the files over and perhaps you've created shortcuts instead.

You might also like to check out the new PF3 WEB Display utility

Hi Dave,
starting PF3_display in the original folder, no frequencies are listet ...
I gave up and use now the WebD 8-)

THX for your hint.
