SimBrief Flight Plans Not Downloading To VATSIM

I have created flight plans in SimBrief and use the button at the bottom of the creation page to pre-file with VATSIM.   About a week or so ago I started running into an issue where the GND or TWR controllers advised there was no F/P for my aircraft.   Has something changed recently?  Anyone else run into this issue?

Thanks.

The new prefile system, which simbrief now uses, only needs you to prefile once and not a second time for example in vpilot. In The old system a user generally did two filings and the one through the pilot client would enter the system much easier. This sometimes was advised when the website was having issues.

I do not file a second time once I connect to VATSIM.   I file only through Simbrief at the very bottom of the page using the "Prefile on a Network"  option.   I have been filing using this method since November of 2019 when I moved to X-Plane.

Did you get this sorted? I'm using the Airbus 320 FBW mod which allow simbrief plans to load directly into the FMS and show on the MCDU. But now I can file with VATSIM and file with MSFS2020 ATC and I'd like to know how people are making the best use of Simbrief. Thx

 

EDIT: I see you're talking about filing on VATSIM, but I keep thinking everyone uses vPilot. Mea culpa.
