Is there some benefit over using Simbrief in a browser on a 2nd display?  Does it have other features or what have you?

I've been using a 2nd display for some time. Do you like minimizing the window while flying? The great thing about having Simbrief in another window/monitor  is being able to load weather radar etc in Simbrief and not have to minimize the window or reduce its size and have it obstruct your cockpit view to just look at these things. When in Simbrief on your account you then export the plan into Charts and it automatically opens a tab for that.  Again i dont have to open, close. minimize windows etc.

So doesnt really interest me.

Ok if you’re going to ask for advice and help, when someone gives it, try being a little more of a likeable person…unless of-course you’re not. ESC is sometimes the go back button

Me too and it's really a net plus.  I also park SLC's various windows on it as well as LNM and so super useful to not have any of that on the main display.  The only real downside is when you're using Frame Generation you get image judder upon moving focus back to the main display, so for my usage this is nearly constant, going back and forth frequently in any case.  I don't use FG so it's a non-issue here.

Haven't seen any, and I can tell you I was looking out for something for several minutes.

Another solution for dealing with this is to get into the flight at a desired parking spot and open Simbrief Dispatch from the toolbar and plan the flight from there. It works.

I'm really sorry. That was not my intention.

Hitting the ESC key returns you to the main MSFS interface and when you click again over the World Map section, the Simbrief interface is still there. Maybe it works for others, but not for me, as Navigraph itself gave this same advice on their forums.

You were right. There's a close button on the lower left. Maybe it was not present in the release version, but I updated the App today and there's a CLOSE button there, as you said. Thanks

Understood, typing can sometimes come across as passive aggressive when it’s not. Hope you resolve your issue.

Yes, it's solved now. I think something was maybe changed in the most recent version downloaded today. There's (now for me) a CLOSE button located at the bottom left corner in the World Map.

I've had some more time with this - and still think it's a gamechanger.

Many of us are seasoned flight simmers - and, I think, we would agree that is has been, and still is, quite a 'techie' business to get everything to work with everything else.

Yes - there is nothing in this app that can't be done in other ways.  But I suppose I'm talking about accessibility.  Accessibility for the huge number of folks out there who are passionate about aircraft and passionate about flight sims...but struggle with (and have no interest in) linking multiple programs together and make them work.  Because some of that is REALLY complicated to the average user.

This is, as someone above has already said, a really slick integration.  And, for the average user, it makes the whole flight plan process in MSFS much more comprehensive without being less accessible. 

 

Oh - and as a fairly competent and experienced simmer - I have, at last, got a flight plan into MSFS where the Pilot2ATC air traffic controller hasn't thrown a wobbly and tried to get me to fly 180 degrees in the opposite direction 😀  

 

 

Agree totally, but not for the ATR 72, it needs to be polished 

Your admirations remind me of the fairy tale about the naked king. I do this much faster in the browser, plus for some reason my processor began to be heavily loaded. Deleted

No problem. Many folks will have the same view, but there are also many that will find it useful to have most of the eggs in one basket. 

Wondering if anyone else is having issues with the Simbrief icon not showing in the flight planning section of MSFS. I installed twice and it do not show. However the icon is the the drop down selection when I;m sitting at an airport.

The only issue i am having is i have to log into it every time, I don't see anywhere to save my login details, or is that the norm?

No. Has to be glitch. I only had to long in once.
