Assumed the sim connect issues get fixed is it possible to use radar contact with 2020? 

It's been a while since I used Radar Contact, but I believe is uses FSUIPC rather than Simconnect, yes?   And it also needs makerwys.exe to build its database?

If so, then it will also need to wait for proper FSUIPC support.    There is a beta version of FSUIPC7 available, but it has a number of limitations including an inability to display text in the sim, which IIRC Radar Contact makes use of.   makerwys.exe similarly does not currently work due to changes in the scenery libraries that developers are still trying to reverse engineer.

Based on what I've read both at the Simflight forums, and here from the author of Little Navmap, it seems like this is going to be a non-trivial task.  I would expect to wait weeks (possibly months, but my intuition tells me it won't be that long) until we get something functioning there.   But hope springs eternal, and we may be surprised.

Thank you. I have fsuipc but cannot use it at the moment due to the horrid stutters its use causes.

Ive tried use Radar Content with fs2020. I just use die NAV Database of fs2004 that still on my PC. It is starting and seems to work but the problem is the missing atc window (only tooltips window opened) and that the fact, that fs2020 default atc will not be deactivated.

I try out also the add on "first officer " version 2 and 3 and It seems to work with fsuipc 7 Abs fs2020 . Fs2020 seems to use the same keys for autopilots, light, flaps and others,  so there is a Chance for compatibility or little improvements. 

Also the flight plan format seems to be the same as in fs2004/fsx/prepar3d so all these Addons might use them.

The only Problem is,  that die Virtual officer Set the flaps in the wrong moment,  gut that seems to be a Problem of settings rather then fs2020 🤔🤣

Radar Contact is a fantastic ATC program. I used it on every flight when I flew in FSX.

I installed it in MSFS and apart from no text window, it would not recognize what altitude or track I was on.

I am hoping someone can figure out how to get it to work.
