Describe the bug

Previously when creating a flight with the built-in flightplanner and selecting an aircraft with flight number, the flight number was pre-filled in the MCDU. This is no longer the case.

Expected behavior

I would expect the flight number and other known variables (i.e. cruise speed is also still not pre-filled) to be pre-filled when known.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Select the A320neo and make sure a flight number is entered
  2. Create an IFR flight plan
  3. Load the plane
  4. In the init page verify the flight number is not filled anymore

I would really like to see both the flight number and cruise altitude prefilled when they are known. I know it is possible with the default A320. Anything I can do to test?

Any progress in this one?

As commented for the cruise flight level https://github.com/flybywiresim/a32nx/issues/3544 an efb implementation may be more feasible.

ErikNL80 commented 2 years ago

Why? Not all people are using external tools and Navigraph to fly? I would like to create a flight plan from the world map and when I load an aircraft the flight number is known, cruise altitude is known... If you don;t want it in the FMC, at least prefill the values in the EFB and allow a transfer into the FMC

derl30n commented 2 years ago

That is exactly what I said, no automatic filling of fms data. Instead using the efb to set this data.

EFB as the flight plan dispatch/AOC tool makes a lot of sense to me. It could import plans from a variety of sources including SimBrief and MSFS… and also provide other uplink data from calculators e.g. takeoff perf when implemented.
