LNM and import option from simbrief

[alexkane 0]

Hi,

is it possible to add option in menu to Import active flight plan from Simbrief ? Like Navigraph app do ?

It is small feature but always faster than copy/paste flight plan 🙂 I know i am lazy 🙂

Noted. I'll consider it for a future version.

Great idea, just thought how useful this would be this morning

perhaps could also import simbrief default and custom airframes?

yes, simbrief integration would be awesome

IMHO copy&paste is here unnecessary manual operation.
When I use Simbrief (very rarely but sometimes it's necessary to check something) I write/export flight plan to file then next is loaded into LNM as completely flight plan**
I use XP11 format to exchange data between Simbrief and LNM, but feel free to use any other format that includes all needed data.

That's all  🙂

Piotr

ps. **yes I know, I'm a lazy man ... 😜

Hi Alex, any update on the possibility of this feature (and the airframe profiles!)? Would be absolutely awesome!

As noted in another thread: Planned for a (far) future update. I'll have a look at their API and have to see how much effort this is. Maybe I can do this for the next release but no promises.

Airframe import is very unlikely.

Why not just save the flight plan from Simbrief and simply open that up in LNM?

I do like seeing my route in Skyvector, though, so that export option is nice and handy.

It would be nice to have a way to import directly from simbrief as we have this option in a few good addons already, and it increadibly easy and intuitive to use.

Alright.

Due to heavy public demand I did some research and it seems doable to transfer routes to and from SimBrief with reasonable effort: https://github.com/albar965/littlenavmap/issues/828

I was about to ask for the same feature, which I'm wishing me for long time.

But great to hear, that you will implement it soon! 😀
