I'm glad others will get good use out of this.  But as for me, anything like this I run via web browser or stand alone app and on my 2nd and 3rd monitor. 

Same here. I'll also stick to the "old" version. It is hard to teach an old donkey new tricks 🙂 

Sticking to old version. I prefer to keep stuff out of the sim if possible and its easier for me to get my flight set up in seconds on my tablet or phone.

This is out now - install via the Navigraph Hub app

Just installed it and tried it out.  One word: Fantastic! 

This will cut my preflight time considerably.  Even appears to have passed my plan through to Active Sky.  Need to double check that (now confirmed). 

All from right in the sim World screen.

This looks really good and I, like many others, have used and loved Navigraph and Simbrief for years.

Can't help but think it's a bit too late though.. will have to see what the built in offering in FS2024 is like in comparison.

It will even be added to MSFS24 as well as an alternative to the built in one. It seems Navigraph is feeling the pressure of the competition.

Personally I would have much preferred a standalone integration with the Navigraph Charts app.  Otherwise, it looks great.

I like the new in-sim Simbrief tool a lot.

Can finally stay in the sim and avoid the previously clunky method of accessing Simbrief through a Web browser. Particularly useful for those of us simming on a single monitor setup.

Funny, I also fly with a single monitor and find accessing SB in a browser not clunky at all. I only have to press Win-2 to open it and Win-2 again to close it (if I am too lazy to click on the MSFS window). I have to add I dedicated Edge to SB: I don't use Edge for anything else so for me Edge equals SB. (When I start Edge SB is automatically loaded.) Opening it with a keyboard shortcut is very convenient. I don't have the feeling I am leaving the sim at all. I usually have Edge/SB covering the right half of my screen and while it is active I can still use my controller to do things in the sim without any problems. I find the ingame panel clunky...! But of course its great to have all these options. ;)

This is really nice, it can be used during the time AI traffic starts and settles itself. 

Since MSFS 2020 takes around five minutes to start, I usually use that time to plan my flight in SimBrief. Reviewing the plan takes a bit longer, but waiting for the sim to load before beginning flight planning would be less efficient. I'll give this a go regardless.

Same here, but I'm really impressed that Navigraph continue to put so much work into providing additional features for the product. The original product was great, well worth the subscription in my opinion, they could have rested on their laurels, and left it at that. but instead they keep adding features that must take hours and hours of scripting and testing, it just keeps getting better. I'm only just exploring all the features of the built in weather display options, it's amazing stuff!  If anyone from Navigraph reads this - Thank you guys!

 

Yup, pretty impressed with it as well. Nice job Navigraph.
