PMDG 737

[waltpop 26]

If I create a flight Plan in Simbrief, how do I get the PMDG 737 to see it as a Company Route in the CDU?  Also, not sure what directory to have simbrief save the PMDG 737 flight plan to.

You will want to use the Simbrief Downloader - This guide will help you with this: https://forum.navigraph.com/t/faq-exporting-simbrief-flight-plans-to-pmdg-737-for-msfs/8111

 

(The guide was setup for the 737-700 but if you have the 737-800 for example, its the same process but the folder is just named for that specific aircraft. Example: pmdg-aircraft-738)

As mentioned,   use the Simbrief downloader.  Here is an example of my paths ( I use 2 ) ...

C:\Users\golfc\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\packages\pmdg-aircraft-737\work\Flightplans

M:\MSFS\Community\pmdg-aircraft-737\Config\Flightplans

Hey Guys,

If you are doing multiple legs in any of the PMDG aircraft is there a way to get more than the first leg from Simbrief ? I can load the first flight plan that I’ve exported before actually loading into the aircraft but when I arrive at my destination and want to load the next leg the FMC doesn’t recognize there’s a new flight plan from Simbrief present and I have to then manually add all the waypoints.

Got it and thank you for your help. I didn't have "\Flightplans" as the ending. But fixed it now. Again, Many Thanks for your help. Happy Flying. Walt

All set. I was missing the \Flightplans at the end of the path. Fixed it now and everything is working. Once again a big Thank You to all my fellow co-pilots for your help. Walt

I have only set the path to the Flightplans folder under AppData.  Does the one in the Community folder path offer any different functionality (or could it be used instead if the AppData path?  Just curious as I hadn't even realized there was a Flightplans folder in the Community.

Thanks,
Bryan

Don't think it matters as long as the route is showing up in mcdu.

No, mine is under the App/Data not the Community folder.
