MSFS import fp issue

ok, I'm pretty sure this is something simple that I am missing but after I create a plan in P2ATC and export it to MSFS2020 format, when I load it into msfs it just shows the start and destination airports.

I run P2atc  2.6.1.3_x64- create a plan from KBUR to KPHX - add SID, STAR and Approach - validate - so far all ok. ( I've tried filing plan and not filing with same result

Start fsuipc and MSFS - select aircraft and am in plan menu in sim - go to p2atc and export plan in MSFS2020 format - back in sim - load exported plan - just KBUR-KPHX no sid,star or approach.

I'll recheck the videos and the manual but what am I missing?

Can you post the line for the flight plan?  Does it include any references to numbered J routes or V routes?  I believe MSFS does not digest those.  The GPS avionics are nowhere Reality XP standards.  Not sure about departures and arrivals.  I add those after loading a flight plan.

I looked at the exported xml file and it has only the start and dest airports - nothing else. I tried manually creating the plan with sid/start etc and I tried having P2ATC auto plan. Same result - the exported plan only contains the start and destination in a direct route.  If the SID and STAR and approach were in the xml file I could see a translation error but in this case it appears that nothing but start/destination is exported.

I'm guessing I may have to create the plan with sid star i n MSFS and save it and try to load it into p2atc. It's funny, I've ssen about 6 different videos and none of them deal with how to get the exported plan into MSFS

Just read in an above post, there is a setting to export sid/stars in the config file. I think that will do it. I'll check again tomorrow.
