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

Patrick...........I don't see it there in the fsx folder.I just see "runways" etc.

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