Hello,

I'm working thru the install procedure but I am unable to get PF3 (Demo) to run with MSFS2020.

After I select a preset on the "Load a Flight Plan for use with PF3" and select the "Load a Flight Plan" button, then "connect to FS" button I get to the next page (taxiways? and some other information?) which stays open for a few seconds then closes. Nothing else happens.

-Completed the database rebuild using "makerunways"
-I have configured "remotetext" and "displayer" with my computer name and have them set up on options page 2

What am I not doing? I'd love to get this working.

Thanks

A screen shot of this 'taxiways' page would be very useful please

This is the next screen that appears for a few seconds, then it disappears. I've also tried to manually start remotetext (waiting for connection message) and displayer (red message middle of display page) by opening the .exe file. But if I understand correctly these should start automatically?

I'm still stuck. Is there a setting I am missing?
Attached are screen shots of the settings pages if that helps. I've just rebuilt the database with the new World Update 12. The PF3 program still closes after a few seconds.

This is very strange and unfortunately there's no useful information in the log file... but I would certainly like to get to the bottom of it. Here's what I suggest.

Please uninstall the demo completely. Then go to our website and purchase the full copy of PF3

http://www.oncourse-software.co.uk/store.htm

Please ensure you use the PayPal button to make the purchase

Let me know if you have the same problem and we an take it further from there. Once we get it working If, for whatever reason, you don't like it just email me direct and I will give you a full refund... no questions asked. This is why it's important to use the PayPal button when purchasing as I have full control over refunds using that medium.

Thanks Dave that is very generous of you. Is there anything you see on the options 1 and 2 page that I should change with the full version install?

From the guide:
17.1 What we recommend
To get the best possible message display from PF3 we recommend you use
our new In-Sim Captions window if using P3D or MSFS.


I'm working thru the setup process for the full version. I've got the "pf3webdisplay" file in the community folder and I start the sim at a parking spot with a flightplan loaded. I then start PF3 (full version) and get the same behaviour as before, as I described with the demo version, This is the next screen that appears for a few seconds, then it disappears.

Also, when I open the PF3dispaly window in the toolbar it is blank.

Also, when I try to push the designated parking control button, no response.
