Hi all. Has anyone gotten the Simbrief flight plan import to work in the A320NX? I have my simbrief user name in the options menu set up, but when I go to the INIT page and hit the "Init Request" button I get an error message "not in database. Not allowed". 

I'm not sure what is wrong here. I followed a YouTube video exactly as he did, and while it worked for him, I just kept getting the above message. Any ideas?

Thanks.

MCDU Menu - ATSU - AOC Menu - INIT/PRES - INIT DATA REQ

Only after that go to the INIT Page.

I get to the "Init Data Req", press it, and nothing happens. Go to the Init page and get the same result.

In the World Map, before you hit fly make sure only your Departure airport is selected, do not select Destination or else Simbrief FP import won't work.  Is that your issue?

I've literally just took off from LIEO enroute to EGCC and the import worked like a dream.

I only selected the Dept Apt, and gate, thats all, then hit fly.

Try using your Simbrief ID number instead of your user name.  That's what worked for me.

Also worth noting I sometimes get the not in database. Not allowed message, but hit INIT REQ again and it goes through....?

Where do you see the ID number?

In Simbrief, when you create a flight, In the Optional Entries area you should see your Pilot ID in the lower right corner. It never changes, so you can use that number in instead of your user name, when setting up Simbrief in the MCDU

 

Never mind. I just found that the username was different from the name displayed on the Login/Logout button on the top of the screen. Its showed my full name, but my user ID was different, lol. 😖

I'm an word not allowed. 🤪

Thanks for all the help guys.

Glad you figured it out. 

For anybody else, if you have a user name that has an unusual character, or in my case, a space between my username. Then try the Pilot ID number instead.
