May 10, 20224 yr Using Simbrief to create a flight plan and weather data In your SimBrief Downloader define an additional two folders pointing at <MSFS root>\Packages\pmdg-aircraft-737\work\Flightplans under PMDG FLIGHTPLANS and <MSFS root>\Packages\pmdg-aircraft-737\work\WX under PMDG WIND UPLINK. Make sure you check the tick mark next to the PMDG FLIGHTPLAN and PMDG WIND UPLINK entries. Edited May 10, 20224 yr by Manny Manny Beta tester for SIMStarter

May 10, 20224 yr Search for pmdg-aircraft 737 folder on your PC, then it's going to be inside of the Work folder. If you did not initialize the aircraft in the sim yet, these directories will not be created. Edited May 10, 20224 yr by Drumcode Jacek G.

C:\Users\cpgmm\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\packages\pmdg-aircraft-737\work\Flightplans Glad you found it, Manny. Another easy way to locate that folder is to search via explorer for the file named placeholder.txt Phil Leaven i5 10600KF, 32 GB 3200 RAM, ASUS 4070 12GB EVO, Asus ROG Z490-H, 2 WD Black NVME for each Win11 (500GB) and MSFS (1TB), Rolling Cache 16GB, Photogrammetry always OFF, Live Weather and Live Traffic always ON, Res 2560x1440 on 27"
May 15, 20224 yr This is driving me batty. I've not got the \xxxx\work\ directory at all under my PMDG-737 in the Community Folder. The Placeholder.text file is in \pmdg-aircraft-737\config\flightplans but any Flight Plans I put there can't be found by the aircraft. Selecting the Flt Plan Request soft key shows no entries at all. What the heck am I doing wrong?
May 15, 20224 yr You cannot use the directory in the Community folder. It has to be similar to the following below. Same for the WX folder. C:\Users\YourName\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\packages\pmdg-aircraft-737\work\Flightplans If you can't find that directory, search for placeholder.txt and make sure it is in the folder shown above, not the one in the community folder. Hope this helps.
May 15, 20224 yr Thanks Viper, I was hoping it would be a simple user error like that. I'm just fuelling up this flight (manual Flight Plan entry!) and will sort it out after I've arrived in Zurich! Cheers mate
