Okay, all kinds of problems trying to get a flight plan into the avionics system with the FS Reborn Sting in MSFS 2024. I DO have a paid Navigraph subscription. Here is what I have tried:

- Ensure all Navigraph databases are up to date

- Created a flightplan in Simbrief, Navigraph maps, and also the MSFS 2024 EFB, tried loading into Avionics both on main MSFS menu screen and also once flight has loaded.

- Have tried creating a flightplan within the Navigraph toolbar window app and export right into aircraft avionics.

-Have even tried using the Direct To feature on the avionics, and even that does not work. No matter what waypoint I input, when I click on the ENT button, it changes the last letter of the waypoint, which usually makes it point to somewhere across the globe.

Welcome any ideas or suggestions. 

Hi @sniper31,

the Sting S4 is a "2020 compatible" plane and therefore the only way to import a flightplan in 2024 into the avionics is from the main worldscreen due to the older G3X in use. I did that both in the Sirius and the Sting successfully in the past but I can confirm your problem with not beeing able to load the flightplan from the worldscreen at the moment (me in SU2 Beta). 

The direct-to is working nice for me though as also the FLP input in the G3X (within its limitations)

I'm part of FSReborns team and I will take that issue to the internal channels for verification.

One final question, you are on release branch or SU2 Beta, PC or XBOX?

Cheers T.

@Torsen Thanks for replying with some assistance. Sorry for not putting that info in my first post, I should know better. Anyhow, I am on PC (my hardware setup is in my sig), no beta.

As for the Sting, it was my impression shortly after the release of MSFS 2024, that both the Sting and the FSR500 were fully compatible. I am fully aware that they are MSFS 2020 versions and not made for MSFS 2024 versions, as I have had both of those aircraft before MSFS 2024 was a thing. With that, I was of the understanding that all of the features worked in 2024. I mean, I have no issues with the aircraft otherwise. The Sting tablet is fully functional; the liveries all look good and are properly selectable in 2024 (unlike other 2020 ports) and it flies very nicely in 2024. But, navigation is important, so I would love to figure out how to get a flight plan in the G3X from Simbrief or the included 2024 EFB flight planner. Like I mentioned in my OP, even trying to setup one up and load on the world screen does not work for the Sting (it does for other aircraft). 

Anyhow, thank you for pushing it up the chain, and please pass along to Raul that I do enjoy both the Sting and the FSR500 very much.

Something changed recently, probably an update via back end servers in 2024 and we never got a changelog.

Looking to see how to fix it from my side, you know my support is the best, once I get the fix I will push it, give me some time please as I need to push to MSFS 2020 MP, test, confirm, publish and then asobo ports it to MSFS 2024 in the back end. Last round of updates took 4 working days.. but I also need some time to find the cause, fix it and publish.

Hi @sniper31,

could you do me a favour please and share some more details with us? Two questions:

- Did you set VFR in the EFBs flight rules page? That is needed as the G3X does not accept any IFR flight plan (same in the real world one btw).

- Was your flightplan including procedures? These flightplans would not be accepted by the G3X also.

In our further testing we found a basic flightplan on VFR with just waypoints without procedures will be send to the Unit using "send to ATC and avionics" ok.

Cheers T.

Hi @sniper31,

one more feedback. If you want to activate IFR in the G3X you can actually use the free PMS GTN 750 as an external GPS driver. It will load full IFR plans from the Sim EFB even in the free version. Just ensure you select a corresponding livery. Otherwise procedure stays the same, load only from worldscreen.

Cheers T.

If you could find some time to add the bug splats and walk around features 2024 offers that would also go down well😅

Yes, the flights plans I tried to load in were in fact VFR at 1500 feet and did not include any procedures. I tried both a basic depart and arrival flight plan, and also a flight plan with a few waypoints. Neither would work for me. 

And yes, I did and do use "send to ATC and send to AVIONICS".

I have the TDS GTNxi Pro, will that work? I have Sting VC integration download. Will that work in 2024? If so, that would work great for me as I really enjoy using the TDS GTNxi Pro. 

 

@simbol And Raul, yes, your customer service is always top notch! I have full faith in your abilities and efforts. No worries on my end, I am sure we will get this all figured out. 😊😊

Lol for that we have to do a full 2024 project m8. 1st I will release Phenom 300E.

Ok so we tested and managed to get any flight plan as long as they are way point to way point, because by design the G3X only accept flight plans like that without an external navigator.

Once we loaded a livery with a GTN (a navigator) the G3X is capable of doing IFR rules and loaded fine any flight plan that had routes, so as far we can test, everything was working as per G3X design.

This was tested by couple of testers and a customer in our discord channel, all of us in SU2.

If you have the TDS, you need a mod from us, and you can use the TDS and your G3X will behave much more professional, so totally worth doing.

Best,

Raul

@simbol Since your last post, I did get a TDS capable livery as well as used the TDS GTNxi mod in the Sting, and I WAS able to load up a flight plan in the TDS GTNxi that worked great in the aircraft. 

I still, however, cannot successfully load an MSFS 2024 VFR flight plan using the MSFS 2024 flight planner on the world menu, OR using the MSFS 2024 default EFB, to load into the G3X. No matter how I set up said flight plan. It just will not load into the avionics. There are options in the G3X menu system to load a flight plan, but the button is always greyed out. I just don't get it. Nothing works.

Thankfully, the TDS GTNxi route works, so I can at least fly the Sting on a planned flight route and the plan will use the GPS to follow the plan. 

I appreciate all the assistance, but it sounds like I am having a problem with MSFS2024 and the Sting that you all cannot replicate on your end, so not sure what recourse is left.

KEY STEP - ONLY USE "SEND TO ATC" in the EFB to send the plan to the plane in the main map - nothing else. Verify you see the blue line generate on the world map in the background.

Then load the plane, fly now button.

This worked for all of us.. under SU2.

Okay Raul, I will give that a shot in a little bit and report back. Just so you know, I am NOT on the SU2 beta. 

@simbol Okay, update: 

Following your procedure outlined above Raul, I loaded a flight plan into the MSFS 2024 EFB, then ONLY hit "FILE PLAN WITH ATC". That seemed to work. Success!

Thank you all who helped and assisted 😊 Much appreciated!
