Option to integrate SimBrief or FPLtoIF.com #294

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. No

Describe the solution you'd like In the page that shows flight information, there will be SimBrief.com or FPLtoIF.com below it, so a flight plan automatically pops up to make flying a breeze for pilots

Describe alternatives you've considered You can find a way to integrate Google maps API so a route shows up on the screen. It may not have sectors, but it shows the two airports and a line between them so it shows the route.

Additional Notes now I know this isn’t a problem related directly to the crew center, but I think would be a nice option to have for pilots to make flying just a little bit easier for them. Some pilots say that they don’t want to fly because flight plan takes too long etc... so I think this would be a great way to boost pilot activity and VAs that want to use VAnet. But I do want to make sure the issue of the flights not showing up is resolved first.

I've talked to Chris about this before, there's no great way to integrate FPLtoIF at the moment and Simbrief is too complicated. I know this is wanted though, so I'm gonna close this for now and will definitely implement it in the future if it becomes possible.
