Hi all out there:I'm a retired engineer who loves flight sims(would have liked to be a pilot first!).My problem is with PFE.Installed it to enhance FSX but can't get it operating yet.Updated the original ver.1,84 to 2.14 ok but got a message "rebuild PFE data base".I downloaded MakeRwy's ,put it into fsx main folder,ran it ok but don't see it in the next screen "select runways csv from fsx".When I brouse when in that screen I can't find it in fsx folder but if I go C:\computer, ms games, fsx its there! None of the data from MakeRwys is in the data base folder.If I go to C:\ computer fsx and open ":runways " all the data appears Some how it's not getting to PFE.Read the manual 2,3 times to see if I was doing it right.
Would welcome your help with this problem.I think this is a great program for FSX.

Hi,
browse to your FSX directory and there you will find runways.csv

runways is correct,it's saved as a .csv file..it's a "Microsoft Excel Comma Separated Values File" is it's correct title..
