Gerwill,

I am somewhat confused.  I compiled the plan in Simbrief and then went into the fms downloader however I cannot find either the Cessna Longtitude or MSFS to download it to.  I got round it by just entering it into the aircraft flight planner and then adding the SID and STAR so that was sorted but can I download it using the FMS download method and how do I manage to do that.

Your help is appreciated mate

Thanks

Tony

When you made your plan on the SimBrief website and have clicked the 'Generate OFP' button, you will see it automatically in the top part of the SimBrief Downloader (When logged in). After you configured paths for the PDF and FS2020 you just have to click 'Export Selected Formats'. Thats it. In MSFS worldmap load the plan (Load/Save button) and select a parking spot like mentioned above. Then click 'Fly'.

Gerwil,

This is the confusing part mate.  How do I do this because when I choose simulator paths MSFS is not showing up I have FS2004 P3D v4.5 and XPlane 11. The fields for P3dv1,2,3 etc cannot be edited.

After I downloaded and installed the downloader and found the above, I rebooted the computer hoping that Simbrief would find it automatically.  It did not and I am now wondering where I go to from here.

Hi Tony,

You don't need to point it to the Flight Simulator.exe, like I mentioned before and like in the screenshot you have to define the path to the LocalState folder. Thats where MSFS flightplans get saved or loaded from:

Like in the screenshot the line - FS2020, Download Directory - should be like this:

C:\Users\Your MS User Account\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState

If you click on the small white folder in blue at the end of that line you can define this path.

Thats all, hope you get it sorted

Gerwil,

For some reason I could not find FS2020 in the download section. I uninstalled Simbrief ... re-installed it and then it all came up.  I have now set it up and it appears to be working.

Thank you so very much for your help mate.

Regards

Tony
