Yep, a wonderful post Elaine. I was frustrated yesterday but it was simply my attention to detail on that one hidden folder that cost me 9 hours of enjoyment but I am very happy all is well now Thanks again for providing all this information so that we can enjoy our addons in P3D.

So I am happy to report that my UT2 is now working in free flight and online via VATSIM. So attention to detail is key for me. This morning I went back through all the steps to see if I was missing something and in fact I was. Actually it was not missing, I simply did not place it in the right area. I noticed in Elaine's post where she was referring to the simobjects.cfg and the entry that needed to be made there. So what I did not notice was that the path for that simobjects.cfg is in a different location. I was a bit confused by that so I looked on my machine and could not find that folder named "Programdata". But then it clicked to me this morning that on my machine that is a hidden folder, so I needed to go to my folder options and select "Show Hidden Folders and files" and wit that led me to the simobjects.cfg and the one entry that needed to be made which was adding line 10 in the CFG. Yesterday when I did this process I did not see the simobjects.cfg in my main P3D folder and that is where I was confused so I created my own new one and dropped it in my main P3D folder and was wondering why nothing was happening. It all turns out I simply was looking in the wrong spot, didn't need to create the file but simply find the one on my machine int he right location. Again, happy to report all is well and my traffic is flowing like normal, FANTASTIC!

Guess I must of did something wrong then, or perhaps having FSX installed with Registry entries could be causing issues. SMH at this point cause it seems to be working. I got music at start, my UT2 Control Panel is working just fine but still no aircraft. I have been messing with this for 8 hours now, sooo frustrating. Glad others seem to get it to work though, obviously it is something I did.

Now I am trying to fly online just to see if it would work since it did in FSX(I know this made for FSX) and it just keeps giving me a Simconnect error saying AI model matching set not installed in FSX. Will continue to troubleshoot and if I can find a fix I will post it.

Poppet, first and foremost thank you for putting all this together. I have had UT2 for some time now and could not figure out a way to make it work in P3D without using the EMT. I don't use that and didn't want to and really would of hated to use it just for UT2 so I was searching and came across your post. I did the steps for the manual install as you said. When I start the UT2 Control Panel I am able to see all options, no errors and all seems to be running well. I start P3Dv3.2 and I hear the UT2 Music playing, no errors. My only thing is so far I have done two short flights(there were quickies just to test stuff out 15 min) so far and the only traffic I am seeing is a King Air. I was in PNW at Friday Harbor and only seen one King Air South of me, then did the default flight at Eglin AFB in FL and only seen an additional three King Air. Is there something I am missing here? Now I will say this. My P3D install was not fresh and I do have FSX and P3Dv2.5 all installed but they are on independent drives and I have checked both of them, no files leaked over or nothing of that sort and as I said all things seem to be in the right place. I did do all the steps and as said I got no errors so far. Only thing I did that you said not to do was I adjusted my traffic in P3D, reason being before I did the install of UT2 I had all my AI levels at 0. So I went in and turned them up to 45 Commercial and 45 GA. Still nothing! I even went to the dummy FSX.CFG and changed the traffic values in there since they were 0 also and made them match my current ones. Not sure where else to look. Any ideas? :::::UPDATE:::::: Still nothing as of yet, I have tried now going to the busiest airspace in the country around LAX and still have nothing. No traffic at the gates and only airborne traffic is KA350. I went and checked the tail numbers of the default KA that comes with P3D, FSX etc it's the same one really but one thing I did notice is all the Tail #'s of the ones flying are different on each one and don't match the default CFG file Tails for the KA. So I am unsure where it is getting that information from. SMH, this is frustrating as I am so close but yet seems so far.
