September 30, 20187 yr Hello All - I hope I am in the proper place in the forum to ask this question. Even though I have been simming for the better part of 30 years, I never seriously learned about flight planning and have just recently acquired SimBrief and EFB - which are excellent add-ons. I am the type of person that doesn't do well reading manuals, but likes to learn by experimenting with the software and sort of teaching myself by trial and error. However, I am stuck on one annoying issue that appears from time to time and perhaps someone can explain what's happening. Tonight, I set up a flight from LaGuardia to Washington Dulles. I created a flight plan using SimBrief. I downloaded the plan into the Aerosoft Airbus flight plan folder, and after started EFB, I loaded this plan as my FPL. Everything looked fine, until after examining the flight plan inside of EFB, I noticed that the routing took me from New York all the way to Richmond, then turned me northbound until I was north of Dulles, then turned me southbound the selected southbound runway. I am not a real life pilot, but I am quite sure this flight plan was taking me way out the way for some reason, and I am curious as to why. Perhaps someone can tell me what I may be doing wrong and that would be a big help. I appreciate any assistance. Best regards, Kevin MacDonald
