For those who prefer SimBrief for planning but would like to have the flightplan in MSFS2024 as well (so you can transfer it into your systems and check the relevant LIDO charts as well), here is a very short and simple tutorial.

1. Create a flightplan in SimBrief as you would normally do.

2. Create an EMPTY (!) new flightplan in the MSFS2024 planner.

3. Copy the SB Route into the EFB planner as shown in the screenshot below (I am using the online planner here).

4. Click on Save and MSFS2024 will load the route and also (!!!) load all relevant procedures and also (!!!) all relevant charts! How awesome is that! Seems the MSFS2024 planners knows how to 'parse' SimBrief plans! Cool! 🙂

Take note: if you copy the route as it is (so including as in this example 'N0271F310') you will get an error message saying a waypoint has been removed. This is no problem: it simply removed that 'N0271F310' entry. If you don't like error messages simply delete (as in this case) 'N0271F310' before clicking on Save.

For a while I thought you had to add procedures manually and that it all was rather cumbersome but... it's extremely easy and very convenient!

EDIT
The relevant charts can be seen on the Kneeboard and in the ingame EFB there is a button (EDIT It's called 'Send route to Avionics') with which you can transfer the plan into your system (G3000 or whatever) with one click.

Screenshot of the route in the planner (as you get to see it after clicking on Save):

Pretty nice for a default planner. 😉

Brilliant, thank you!

I had also found another way: save the flight plan from Simbrief as MSFS .PLN file, then open it from the EFB, click on "File plan with ATC" + "Send route to Avionics".

It's great to have different options! 😉 I suppose doing it that way also automatically loads all relevant charts?

And I personally wouldn't click on 'File plan with ATC' but that's because 1. I think default ATC is even WORSE than it was in 2020 and 2. I prefer BATC. 😉 
BTW 'Send route to Avionics' is indeed the option I meant!

Yes, it does 🙂

Does this work in all aircraft?  I could not get "send to avionics" to work in the A400m and A321 V2.  They seem to rely on the 2020 way of doing things with sim brief.

Same here, probably only works on asobo planes. I’m only guessing of course. Surprised since inibuilds was working so close they would have allowed their planes to work with the default planner though.

Thanks for the tutorial mistolip.

I too was surprised and somewhat disappointed that none of the inibuilds planes seem to work with the default planner. It doesn't look like I'll be cancelling my Navigraph subscription any time soon. 

That looks and seems cool 👍

cheers 😉

Thanks for the tip!  The WT planner is very well done, which is not surprising.  Hopefully they can add some default performance profiles that can be tweaked by the user.

Known to be non-functional in some aircraft.  I made a wish list entry - please vote.

Its doable (per INI).  Vote for this functionality in the wish list so you can ditch the extra subscriptions!

Quick question as I haven't loaded 24 yet but is there an option to just "load a flight" as you did from the main world map screen in FS2020 by hitting the space bar and loading either from the cloud or your local PC?

I always had simbrief download to my pc and when I fired up FS, went into the world map hit space 2x and loaded the flight plan before even hitting "fly" 

Is this still possible? -TY

Yes.  The online flight planner can save a flight, which can then be loaded using the EFB flight planner in the sim.  Not sure if it can load a flight plan created by other means.

Simbrief can save as an msfs .pln file so in theory should work flawlessly.  

Thank you!!

It works! Did this yesterday. This works even quicker than the method I posted because afaik you can't copy a route to the ingame planner unfortunately.
