Microsoft Flight Simulator - How to import BASIC SIMBRIEF FLIGHT PLANS IN 2023

[@rickbarnes8556]

I'm one of the beta testers for the initial fs2020, and I learned something today! Thanks for your work. One of my criticisms throughout has been the lack of teaching aids/documentation. Videos like this really help.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Glad I could help!

[@kbell6888]

Would love to see a part 2 for inserting flight plans into PMDG 737's

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thanks Kbell, glad you like it.

@@AusFlightSimmer will this still work for 2024

[@buckle_bunny762]

Thank god someone is doing videos about this. thanks!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Cheers, thanks Bunny.

[@zeronoshoten4300]

All this time never knew you could pick the parking spot without it messing up the flight plan, game changer!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Glad we could help.

[@jazielwayne2178]

This is beautiful Mind you, some beginners watch your channel and look for simple beginner videos just like this. If you could make a beginners Playlist that would be awesome 👌 Keep up the good work man

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Yes, playlist will arrive after a couple of videos.

[@mopeygoff]

Would love to see the PMDG 737 import procedure. :) Also, SimBrief just came out with a downloader program that will download your latest flight plan in an appropriate format and put them into folders that are specified by the user, so no more digging around in the Packages folders.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Cheers, thanks

[@socalfun64]

THANK YOU! I have been looking for a basic fp to learn simbrief, etc.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Glad it was helpful!

Ahh the Tobii Eye Tracker lead in, nice one Shane I like the bubble it’s good info. Back to watching your tutorial. 😂

[@AusFlightSimmer]

😁

[@inspectort69]

Fantastic video Shane. I’d love to see a part two for this thanks.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Cheers, thank you.

[@beescan22]

Part 2 would be great, also using Simbrief and Importing into Navigraph 8, I seem to be getting hung up bringing Flight Plan into Navigraph. Also refresher on adding Simbrief into FMC on 737. Thank you sir, appreciate your time and effort in educating us.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

That sounds like a pt3.

[@shaundale46]

Excellent step by step guide thank you. (I really don't like the ghost image of the Tobii Eye Tracker at the start sorry. ) I think there will be many people who would gain a lot for the more complex planes like the PMDG fleet. Another issue I have is working out the Cost index, but that's for another time. Thank you for all your hard work behind the scenes and all the great knowledge you pass down on every flight. Can't wait for the next instalment

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Cheers Shaun, you can turn it off. I just recused old footage I had from the Tobi video.

[@KennySundquist]

Your instruction thru out this video was excellent. right to the point. Thanks

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Glad you liked it!

[@keshmaro07]

Loved this video and would appreciate a part 2 as well.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Cheers, thanks

Love see more details using SimBrief with PMDG 737

Love it, This is what I have been looking for. Thanks

You're welcome!

[@n.e.g4865]

great use of the Tobii eye tracking.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

I love it!

[@drewdemarinis4051]

Love this video, great explanation. Help me with something that has been vexing me and I see it happening here in your video as well. Go to 7:30 in your video and watch how MSFS cannot handle a SimBrief .pln with a cold dark parking/gate start AND a departure that isn't anything except "Direct". You chose a Parking spot and then you chose a departure. As soon as you chose the departure, the starting point reverted back to the active runway associated with the departure. Just watch in the video as you chose to change the "Direct" departure to SY2 16R Departure. As soon as you did that it changed your chosen start from Parking 92 to Runway 16R. Am I insane? This did not happen before.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Yes, in the drop down it had the runway selected. However if you zoom in the yellow line was there from parking to runway. Just MSFS with a little bug with the world map. (just to spice things up)

[@ouilsen2]

Oh that's a bug. I was fighting it all the time by fiddling with the departure/transition in Simbrief.

[@drewdemarinis4051]

@@AusFlightSimmer , you cheeky bugger you. You solved it! I never thought to go ahead and press "Fly" and see if it somehow put me in the correct spot.

[@richardclark7821]

Very informative. You did a great job of explaining what to do.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thank you!

[@wilga80]

That was great. Thank you. I would like to see more like this.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Cheers, thanks

[@giomoscioni9949]

Shane, amazing work as always doing lots of good for the simmer’s community! As a beginner simmer I appreciated a lot and learned many new things from this video, I would love more video tips from you if possible. Many thanks!

Glad you like them!

[@forthydollars]

Would love to see how to import the simbrief flight plan into the PMDG 737 FMC

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Cheers, thanks

[@TheCrazyHeadGamer]

Great i thought choosing a departure and approach after the loading would mess up the flight plan

[@kevindavis8175]

The only issue is that if you select a SID from the drop-down menu, it starts you on a runway instead of a taxiway. The only way to prevent that is to enter the SID waypoints manually - which sort of defeats the purpose of having an importing feature. SimBrief themselves said that they don’t know how to fix that.

[@markgriffin2285]

Very instructional and helpful. Thanks Shane!

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stephenwallace7288]

Good video... I recently got back into MSFS and am having trouble with the flight plans for 787 not loading in when choosing Low Altitude Airways... ATC still takes me up to FL410 and there is no altitudes loaded in for the descent... so I get up to the destination still at FL 410 🙄 Thanks I will try Sim Brief later on ... and yes I know I should be up high in the sky, but I like looking at the scenery 🤗

[@themtoniraniremaxbroker2447]

Amazing and Easy Explanation, Many thanks!!

[@trixyy7742]

Is their a way to do this on Xbox because putting it into the FMC is hard😂

[@yams900]

Well explained mate, clear as mud :)

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thanks 👍

[@evilasar]

Good Instruction Aus.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thanks 👍Mr Evil.

[@Squirel]

This is an excellent idea, I'm all for it. The FMC is a real mystery to me. I know it shouldn't be but I just don't know where to start.

[@zigzagfly1635]

Cheers from USA !

[@TRICKY10666]

This is great ,il try this out over the weekend with the Xbox,il let you know how I get on👍

[@AusFlightSimmer]

No problem tricky. You will just need to manually entre with Xbox. cheers

[@schoc13]

excellent video!! at one point I was able to hit the ‘V” key on my keyboard to bring up a map that would track the planes movement, the V key does not activate the map now, is that maybe because I have an actual flight plan plugged into the sim??

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Yes the V key and map has been problematic for a while now.

[@schoc13]

@@AusFlightSimmer otherwise fantastic video!

[@peterallen7604]

Great video, however, sorry if I missed something but what's the difference or benefit's between following this process compared to doing the same thing in the flight sim itself? Love your videos buy the way.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Simbrief is more accurate to a real life plan. Part two coming soon.

[@SteveCox72]

Great video, been using simbrief for years, a little feedback, the simbrief window being stuck in a small space in the middle makes it hard to read, would have been better (imo) to lose the 737 background and have simbrief full screen

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thanks Steve, I record in 4K. So that was pretty much full size. I just crop the sides.

[@SteveCox72]

@@AusFlightSimmer Hi, watched earlier in 1080 and the simbrief was a small centre piece only, wasn’t easy to read, will try on 4K TV after work

[@robertadams7980]

Would Like to see more detail on FMC on 737-max.

[@Maikel-xf7fy]

THANKYOU!

[@miguelessed1019]

Will def try. Hoopt it works. I've been having trouble getting the FBW A320 flying. I assume it has to do with a conflict with the flight plan. When ever i take off after almost 30 min of prepping aircraft with real time boarding etc. etc. the game crashes. When i do nothing no flight plan or what so ever just start engines and fly manually out its all good. Anybody got anymore suggestions?

[@Icequake.]

Quick question: does this automatically import all the waypoints into the MCDU? And does autopilot automatically bring you to each waypoint?

[@ronloveflying]

Can you make a full flight plan into fmc pls? Thanks for the video.

[@sir-jj3552]

Part 2 yes please.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Thanks, glad you like it.

[@franciscocolon1740]

Everything goes as advertised until I hit the spacebar, at which point nothing happens. Is there a way to download the flight plan once in flight mode?

[@傑克zjw]

What different between aircraft CMD and this video method?

[@ZenonZolek]

Very user friendly video thanks Shane, can't wait for the next one. Did simbrief automatically select your airframe? I didn't see you choose it.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

No, I chose it. Cheers

[@gseach]

Can you not setup the approaches and landings in SimBrief?

[@TPHI17]

Great video, hopefully one day soon we can import right to Xbox.

[@AusFlightSimmer]

Why can't MSFS just use world map this Sim brief is a pain and i just dont have the time to mess around it just takes to long to work out World map is easier

[@W9KB]

Your ‘bubble’ is very annoying and is distracting to this viewer.

[@SIX-SH00T3R]

Awesome!
