What Simbrief features does MCE have?

[hadi 30]

MCE is under active development all the times and there are so many functions that it's sometimes hard to keep track of them all.

What functions does MCE have with simbrief?

Is it possible to make a flow or script that will ask the co pilot to fill  in the flight plan from simbrief into the aircraft?

With some planes like Fenix A320 or PMDG 737, it's already possible to say "prepare fmc cdu" (or other variations) and have the Fo use as much Simbrif info as possible to insert data.

Thanks, for the pmdg 737 for example,  what data will be imported? i'm guessing the flight plan page.

FO inserts,...

Departure and Arrival airports

Reference coordinates based on Departure airport

Cruize Altitude, Wind, Transition altitude,

Gross weight, trip fuel.

Are you aware of the new ability to relocate the plane to ANY airport, gate or runway via voice?

Is he also able to fill out the waypoints in the flightplan page as well?

I didn't know about the new relocate ability, does it perform better than the old one?

With planes like the Fenix A320 that can import flight plans into FMC via a few CDU clicks, the cco-pilot will do that.

For others, it's not possible to insert radio navs and waypoints for the following reasons.

There is no way to read anything from CDU.

When you insert say "MTG" as waypoint, there is the possibility the FMC will suggest a list of NAVAIDS with same name and you have to confirm which one to insert.

Never mind the "discontinuity lines"

The relocate aircraft feature is now a "warp me there" in all supported flight sims, MSFS, Prepar3D, FSX.

move the plane to Franfurt (will take you to gate 1 at frankfurt)

move the plane to Echo Delta Delta Foctrot gate one zero three

Once at an airport you could jump from one runway to another (or to a gate) without mentioning the airport name or ICAO ID

relocate the plane to runway zero seven left

warp the plane to runway two five right.

let's go to Miami

etc..

For most world major cities, you could try the airport name or city's name, for marginal ones, specify the ICAO ID.

No need to go back to MSFS main menu.

When you get to new location and you're not sure where you are because it's dark out there or you are a BVI pilot, wait for things to settle and then ask copilot "confirm position". He should let you know the gate or specific runway you're at.
