I will assume my connection to FSUIPC worked as I was able to use the EFB from the start of my trial period until my last flight on 7/14/2018.
After returning to the sim on 7/21, updating the navigraph data and the EFB, this problem has existed. As part of my trouble shooting, I have also re-installed both FSUIPC v5 and P3d v4 (both via new downloads) with no joy. Additionally, during my use of the software, I was able to create aircraft profiles, flight plans, etc.
