After updating my PFE installation to version 3.22.0, my PFE display no longer works. Display programm start, but but doesn't connect. PF3 is started and connected to the MSFS2020. Error message:
PF3 must be running and 'connected' to your flight simulator before PF3 Display is able to communicate with it. Currently using Port........

Please attach your PF3_Display.INI file

Please try the attached and let me know how it goes

1) Error of pf3_display.exe v. 10.02.2024: No query of the IP address or computer name at 1st call (input mask does not appear)

2) Error in pf3_display.exe from 04.03.2024 (new): Input mask appears, the entry is not accepted, the input mask remains. Pf3_display.ini is created,
but with entry PF3Server=0.0.0.0.
Manual entry of the computer name leads to error message - Error in 'Main'_subscript out of range Loc 0 -

3) pf3_display.exe from 31.12.2021 works

Please download the file again and retry

It is already working a little further:

1) The computer name is now ntered correctly in pf3_display.ini.
2) The port used is entered in the red field (Currently using Port 1010)
3) The red field does not disappear, the connection is not yet established.

Try deleting your PF3_Display.INI file

It most certainly works here

Also PF3 Display will not connect to PF3 until PF3 has connected to FS

I have now emptied the PF3_Displayer folder again except for pf3_disp.dat. Then copied the pf3_display.exe from 04.03.2024 (version 4.1.0.9) into the folder, started the program, entered the computer name in the mask provided and exited the program with 'Exit'.
I then checked the newly created pf3_display.ini, everything was ok.
MSFS started, PF3 started, flight plan loaded, PF3 connected to the MSFS. PF3_display.exe started and this time the program connected to PF3. Everything works as it should.

Thanks for the support
