P2ATC + FSUIPC 7 beta works with MSFS 2020

[Gumerson 73]

Hi, 

This is for share with you all my excitement that I've been able to make working Pilot2Atc with Flight Simulator 2020 thanks for the FSUIPC 7 free beta released today. You can take a look at this video I have streamed for testing purposses. 

I had to set Ignore Avionic switch on and just connect and go. English explanation in the video begins at 4:10

Cheers!

I will be trying it tonight with the WideFS, however the impact of the Simconnect issues has be worried about stuttering.

I got Pilot2ATC connected to the sim but because its a SimConnect app the frame rate drops from 45 to 17. MS/Asobo are actively working the SimConnect issue.

The SimConnect issue is effecting the VATSIM plugin as well and MS/Asobo announced it as a major partnership. So I'm hoping that will get fixed sooner rather than later.

I tried the latest beta and as soon as it is up my fps drops to 10-12.  Shutdown fsuipc7 and things immediately return to normal.

Supposedly this this version doesn't require simconnect and is built into product.  I don't know much of this product but I noticed it has widefs enabled.

I really my my ATC

Only the separate SimConnect.DLL is now built into FSUIPC7 -- to save users finding that module and copying it into the same folder.

But that is only the interface code. SimConnect itself, the part which actually does anything, is all part of MSFS, and currently there's some bug which causes serious performance issues (which weren't there before the released version!).

Hopefully it will be fixed within the next 7 days, at least according to the announcement yesterday.

Thanks for the post.   I really miss p2a and its maps.

Surely you haven't changed completely to MSFS already? It's no decent replacement yet for P3D. Not even for FSX.

The latest patch for MS FS 2020 just came out.  Installed and started.  Started fsuipc7 and connected to simulator (I didn't know I had to perform connection.)

Connected p2a with no issues.  I can see traffic in the air and parked.

You can set it to auto-connect -- and auto-close when MSFS does if you wish. You can start FSUIPC before MSFS or after. it's quite flexible.
