Hi. On March 1st vPilot removed the option for quickly file a flie plan especially important for VFR flights. Now you need to export to simbrief, correct things there, file from there, go to the vatsim flightplan website and confirm it.

On Vatsim Germany board one has posted a link which can be modified to include a flightplan in a very similar way as Little Navmap exports it to simbrief. I would like to encourage the development to add such an option. The link could be

Maybe there are more options like departure and destination.

The second option could be an ICAO flightplan copied to the clipboard to be pasted to the website.

Thanks :-)

The URL looks like there is information in there which is not available in LNM. But I took note and will have a look at it in a future version. Maybe one of the 3.0.X releases.

Thanks so much. If it helps: you may use simbrief to fill the fields with the GET request. This is what simbrief calls to that same filing website at my last flight:

Thanks, this helps a lot!

I suppose it is ok to simply open this in the default web-browser like the LNM "Show in Skyvector" function.

I think I can add this to one of the 3.0 updates. Not the next stable 3.0.4 one though. More 3.0.5.

You can also use the "Import ICAO FPL" on the VATSIM page. Simply user LNM menu "Flight Plan" -> "Copy Flight Plan route description to clipboard" and paste it there. Have not been able to successfully paste a plan yet, though.

Yeah that would be wonderful, thanks so much 🙂

I tried this too before, but failed as well. Would be also a workable option.Simbrief lets me also copy the flight plan in a correct way to import into the form.

Hi Alex.

Any news on this topic? Thanks so much.

No news. I am working on customizing MSFS 2024, which is already a big effort.🤕 So don't expect anything soon here, sorry.
