MSFS 2024 IFR Flight Plan Tutorial. Inside The Sim.

[@metmanjeff]

Thanks! Disappointed that you weren’t particularly grumpy as promised but the info was excellent.

[@grumpyoldstudios]

Thats because things went well.

[@gameramante]

thank you. Please keep posting videos and dive deep into ifr planning / vfr :)

[@Warhawk_]

This helped alot.. thank you!

[@zackkirkpatrick9247]

Nice simple and concise tutorial, thanks man!

[@chrisconnollyofficial]

This was real helpful, thank you!

[@grumpyoldstudios]

Your Welcome.

[@HighFive521]

Thx, this really helped me!!!

[@geoh6737]

Great video but Flight planer is not as easy as you say beacuse it doesnt just load into the aircraft i tried the A320 new 737 nothing loads in it and the makes auto pilot not work ? andy fix to this yet

[@grumpyoldstudios]

@@geoh6737 there are several aircraft that it's not working for.

[@geoh6737]

@@grumpyoldstudiosso if the flight planner doesn’t work that means auto pilot won’t work or ils . What do you do then . R they gonna fix this . Isn’t this kinda of a major part of the game .

[@Globeguy1]

​@@geoh6737you gotta enter it in manually in mcdu. Some planes like airbus planes can receive flight plan from simbrief.

[@lostfear3032]

Thank you. It helps a lot. Can you do so in career mode as well?

[@grumpyoldstudios]

Some times. Career mode is a bit broken in parts but I have gotten the flight plan from the tablet into the aircraft. But not all aircraft are working with it yet.

[@BrandoninOrlando]

It still says VFR on your screen NOT IFR

[@grumpyoldstudios]

I know but it is an IFR plan. Thing is all buggy but you should get the basic idea. Maybe after a month or 3 I will revisit once they are working better.

[@alanforsyth109]

It seems simple, but the world map after creating it (as shown in your video & my experience) clearly says VFR. Not IFR. So if you use in game ATC, there are no options to request an IFR clearance, only VFR options are available with ATC. So how do you actually make it an IFR flight plan? Note on the next EFB flight planner tab it has an "IFR/VFR" choice there but is seems to do nothing. Same goes for when I use simbrief (now integrated into the EFB to do a flightplan it also comes in as VFR.

[@grumpyoldstudios]

@@alanforsyth109 I have the same issue. Keep reporting it so hopefully it gets fixed soon.

[@Wild_Pennsylvania]

Is there a way to get it to give you a cruising altitude or is that something you have to figure out on your own?

[@grumpyoldstudios]

I have had to put it in myself so far. It is supposed to be adding it but not working yet.

[@Sonny-gf2dq]

Thanks for the video. In 2020 you could select either High or Low flight level after entering the departure and destination points but I don't see that option in 2024. Do you instead just manually enter the altitude you want to fly at in the Cruise Altitude section in the upper right in the EFB?

[@grumpyoldstudios]

So far that is what I have found. I have only seen VFR/IFR no high or low altitudes.

[@gownerjones]

How do I make it so that the blue line on the world map and the purple line in the sim are lined up and continuous with my runways?

[@grumpyoldstudios]

@@gownerjones export to avionics. But not all planes are working rite now. You can also try and build the flight plan from inside the aircraft.

[@mikenieuwland2996]

thankyou!! its also possible to make ifr and start from the gate, and how do you this?

[@grumpyoldstudios]

Yes just start at the gate you want. Load in and bring up the tablet. Load the plan from there make sure it is set for IFR. A note is that it does not work with all avionics yet.

[@djswizzair]

ty brother i was lost

[@KieronT]

I've been trying to work it out with the airliners, I guess they're bugged, and it doesn't work. Thanks for at least showing that it works with some planes. Gonna try some myself and see what does and doesn't work.

[@gamiwombat]

Thanks Gawin

[@Takhar7]

Can you still select which ILS runway you want, and what approach you want? I miss notbhaving that visual info like we had in 2020

[@grumpyoldstudios]

Yes there is a tag on the page to do all your approaches/departures ect. Right below the flight plan.

[@kristoferkenny6161]

awesome help video, but is there a way to do it from a cold dark start up?

[@grumpyoldstudios]

Yes. You can just start in the parking spot that you want to and use the tablet from inside the aircraft. It works exactly the same there as it does in the world menu.

[@kristoferkenny6161]

@@grumpyoldstudios awesome, thank you

[@likes2fly]

on your map it clearly shows vfr not ifr, how do you change it to ifr?

[@grumpyoldstudios]

On the second page down from the top. Flight Details. There is a pull down menu for IFR/VFR. Still no option for high or low altitude airways.

[@marizatiablae]

Just tried after seeing your video, send to avionic doesn't work ? my FMC was empty :D

[@grumpyoldstudios]

Sadly not all aircraft work as of rite now. The TBM will only get the first waypoint :( Hopefully they all work "soon"

[@wolfman1662]

Is it the same concept for the series x?

[@grumpyoldstudios]

@@wolfman1662 yes it will work for Xbox or PC. Not all functions are working for all aircraft even in PC.

[@A350DUKK]

Can do do it explaining how to actually put the airports in the flight ppan without a preset option bc it won't work for me

[@grumpyoldstudios]

Where I selected the airports you just type in the ICAO code for the airport you want.

[@A350DUKK]

@@grumpyoldstudios ok thx

[@TPHI17]

Thanks😎😎

[@EthanEngelhard]

Does it work with large commercial air liners like the A320 or the Boeing 787?

[@grumpyoldstudios]

@@EthanEngelhard Like all things Microsoft some of them not all.

[@EthanEngelhard]

@ Ty

[@marizatiablae]

it still says VFR in the User Interface , this is so bugged

[@grumpyoldstudios]

Yeah still very buggy.

[@Slow370Z]

What about Simbrief?

[@grumpyoldstudios]

You can import Simbrief if you save it as a file using Simbrief downloader then just use the load button at the bottom not the one at top. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iJqlnKqva5uaeK8si=9zCdXDpc3yu0I-gg

[@jimpanse7450]

No matter what I do, the flightplan is NOT on my Avionic in the 320neo on Xbox….frustrating :( cause I like to flight with the managed mode

[@grumpyoldstudios]

@@jimpanse7450 yeah sadly it's not working on all aircraft.

[@jimpanse7450]

@ do you know if any other Airbus is working?

[@geoh6737]

Any chance you get this sorted beacuse i cant get this flight planer to work with anything so far.Has anyone got it to work with the A320 neo

[@vnskt]

@@geoh6737 nope

[@MrCrazyjoe259]

This new system is way more convoluted than the old one, I do not like it, especially the Fuel/Payload page where i cannot even find the MTOW or the useful load of the aircraft.

[@jamesshober8903]

Does auto pilot still work?

[@grumpyoldstudios]

@@jamesshober8903 only on some aircraft not all.

[@stevedraper7606]

How do you do an Ifr flight. Looks like you are still vfr

[@grumpyoldstudios]

That is a full IRF plan. VFR would be straight point to point. That uses the airways.

[@stevedraper7606]

Ok thanks
