**Dear John,**
I'm testing a minimal Lua script with the latest FSUIPC7 (downloaded April 2025) on MSFS 2020, to confirm if scripts are triggered automatically at flight load via `[Auto]`.
The script contains only:
```lua
ipc.log("started")
When I run it manually via the FSUIPC Add-ons menu, it logs correctly.
However, when triggered via [Auto], nothing appears in the log. Not even the ipc.log("started") line.
Below are the exact files used:

********* FSUIPC7, Version 7.4.16.2 (13th March 2024) by John Dowson *********
Running inside MSFS on Windows 11
...
[LuaFiles] Loaded: testscript.lua
[Auto] line 1: Lua testscript
...
(No log entry “started” appears anywhere)
Is there any known reason why [Auto] Lua scripts wouldn’t run (or log) reliably when a flight is loaded in MSFS?
Any suggestion for a workaround or different trigger method would be appreciated.
