Feature request: SimBrief integration #32

Open AndersHogqvist opened 3 years ago

AndersHogqvist commented 3 years ago

It would be awesome if one could import flight plans from SimBrief.

mracko commented 3 years ago

You can load up the SimBrief flight plan in MSFS directly in the world map menu. Once you do this, then start a flight, you can use the "Load Flight Plan" button to load the SimBrief flight plan.

I'm not sure if this answers your question/feature request.

That would certainly work in most cases but I think it's a no go if you use the WorkingTitle CJ4 mod. It's not using the native flight planning system in the sim

Thanks for letting me know! I'll have a look at the WorkingTitle mod.

Even though I understand if this isn't a top priority I think it could be a nice feature in the future. Besides from getting the last generated flight plan you also get just about everything you need to have a EFB in your app.

Here's some info about their API that you might find useful if/when you decide to look at this feature: https://www.simbrief.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=243&sid=b26f2240317cabbffc2290655b192ae3

Thanks for this great tip! I didn't know SimBrief had their own API. I'll look into it and see what I can do about it.
