Not seeing any AI Traffic in P2A - MSFS 2020

[CoolGunS 1]

Running latest beta because I hoped it would fix my issue with the stable version but it hasnt.

Basically I am not seeing any AI traffic at all. I have selected the little red and blue AC icons but still nothing shows up. It doesnt matter what traffic I use, MSFS real time AI, MSFS Offline AI or my preference which is FSLTL.

I have tried reinstalling FSUIPC and that made no difference. Little Navmap shows the traffic no problem. 

Yes I have a connection between P2A and MSFS.

 

BTW this used to work. I've been putting up with it for ages until now but I would like to fix it.

Traffic is working with MSFS for me. 

It's possible you need to run P2A in Admin mode, or if you're already doing that, run it in regular user mode.  A mismatch can cause problems communicating.  How you install FSUIPC and MSFS can cause this issue.

Still no joy, tried every combination of normal and admin.

As a habit I always launch installation exe's as admin. Not sure about MSFS though, I don't think I was given a choice on that one.

Are you able shed light on how you would have gone about your installs and what preferences you are using?

Is there any setting in FSUIPC in particular that could be responsible? I have the unregiestered, latest version stock installed and auto launches with MSFS

OK I eventually got this sorted by doing the following:

1. Closed MSFS and Pilot2ATC
2. Ran the uninstallFSUIPC7 utility in my FSUIPC root folder (NOT as administrator - just double clicked it and let it run).
3. Renamed what was left of my original FSUIPC folder after the uninstall completed to get it out of the way (I was going to delete it but I noticed config files and other artifacts remained, so I wanted to keep them in case I needed them later).
4. Installed FSUIPC7 latest version (NOT as administrator - just double clicked it and let it run) and chose my original folder location which was now free to use again. I just followed the bouncing ball during the install, then skipped through the optional registration process.
5. Reinstalled the latest Pilot2ATC beta version (NOT as administrator - just double clicked it and let it run).
6. Launched MSFS
7. Launched Pilot2ATC

Then all was well again.

So in summary running and installing FSUIPC and/or Pilot2ATC with elevated administrator rights appears to have been what caused the problem.
