Feature Request

Are there any plans for FSUIPC7 to be able to read live multiplayer planes? Currently using P2A in MSFS2020 and when using the live multiplayer option, the game crashes and when it doesn't it only sees AI planes. I asked over on the P2A forums and it was requested to ask here. This would be a great addition because having more air traffic is always a good thing.

There are no facilities in SimConnect (that I am aware of) that are specifically for multi-player traffic. Aren't multi-player traffic treated simply as other AI aircraft, from the user perspective?

so MSFS crashes? That should be reported to MSFS/Asobo.

I'm not sure what, if anything, FSUIPC can do with mult-player traffic, or if distinguishing multiplayer traffic from AI traffic is even useful. I'll look into it at some point.

I've always received multiplayer traffic -- but only when I allow on-line (real) traffic, which arrives as well.As the world is at present at least with so little real traffic, there's much more traffic all told when you select the local AI traffic option, but then nothing from anything on-line.

The options seem to be: local AT traffic OR on-line real plus multiplayer traffic. Isn't that what you experience?

However it may work, FSUIPC can only report what it receives.

It crashes when I select the Live option in game. No problems when I'm using only AI traffic. I'll have any go with the Live option (people online using the same realism settings I'm using)

What crashes - MSFS or FSUIPC7? As I said, if its MSFS, you need to report to Asobo. If its FSUIPC7, I need more information - you FSUIPC7.log for a start, and also any crash entry in the Windows event viewer.

But multi-player and AI traffic type are different settings. You can have aircraft traffic type set to AI Offline or Real-time Online (or Off), and also multiplayer data set to on/off independently So, are you saying MSFS crashes or FSUIPC7 crashes, and is this when you have aircraft traffic type set to Real-time Online AND multiplayer data set to on only?

Sorry, but I need more information as I don't understand what the problem is or what you are requesting.
