Simbrief and A320

[Zimmerbz 168]

Is there a way to upload a Simbrief flight plan with all of the necessary info (fuel, pax, cargo, froute etc.) directly into MSFS like you can in P3d?  Maybe that would be a way to get more accurate numbers for ZFW and payload into MSFS.  Is this possible?

Also, unrelated to simbrief, but in the mcdu I noticed I can’t change or enter speed and altitude restrictions at certain points along my flight plan.  Is this a bug?  I noticed they are either not there or wrong if they are. Also, the eta’s for each point along the route aren’t in the mcdu.

Yep it is is - just export the simbrief flight plan in MSFS2020 format. It is one of the options in Simbrief

And that gives you the fuel numbers and pax in the sim?  How do you pull it in once saved, flight number? Where do I save the simbrief file?

You have to do fuel and weight manually. The FMC in MSFS is not that sophisticated...yet!

But you can in theory make it match from the values in SimBrief manually, right?  Every time I try to do that I can’t get values that aren’t out of balance.

Also, do I need a special app for 2020?  I did a test in simbrief but when I tried to download for FS2020 I got an error saying I needed an app.

I take the information from Simbrief and manually put it into the weight section (the tab right below the liveries) of the A320 Neo menu trying to match what is in the briefing. Then when you load the plane and the route the stats show up in the FMC. Also, get the Simbrief downloader, it's a help in putting the route in the proper folder.

Are you using the A320 profile in SimBrief.com flight planner? Or do you know of a source for an A320neo aircraft profile?

It appears to me that the fuel capacity in the Simbrief Profile for the A20N is half what it should be.  Anyone got any insight into why?

[sidfadc 1,344]

Are you using the FBW Mod?  There is no reason not too...

Either way...

This is the FBW A20N simbrief profile for use with their mod

If you are using the Mod it has inbuilt simbrief integration - so once you have created the OFP in Simbrief you can retrieve it via the FMC in the Sim.  It even pulls through the fuel/payload etc so you can easily set everything up.  Watch this video for more info.

EDIT:  Only just noticed this thread is from October!

Whenever I receive the simbrief data, the zfw on the mcdu is always below the zfw generated in the simbrief.
This is normal?

I've noticed that too Ricardo. I usually end up amending the weights in the sim to match the simbrief ZFW

yep, for those dummies like me not watching or forgetting that video, note that when importing the complete waypoints via FMC INIT you must not launch MSFS from the world map with a ARR airport, just pick the DEP airport
