Thanks for your input. To clarify: 1. "simbrief_fpl.dat" has not yet once been created on my system. So, it's not there 2. I always run mce.exe WITH admin rights 3. I have never fiddled with access rights of the my documents folder 4. However, I have moved the my documents folder to a different drive - e:) using standard windows functionality 5. I can confirm that the Wizard program is able to create the folder itself and write files in there. Is there an access right I can grant to ensure that MCE is allowed to write files there?

Thanks! Will try tomorrow!

Great, thanks! Have tried. Enabled debug=1 in ini --> success started flight in msfs --> success generated new fp in simbrief --> success loaded fp in fbw efb --> success started fiddler to monitor http(s)-calls --> success clicked on "get flight plan" confirmed in fiddler that mce received the current fp from simbrief --> success --> mce ui states "No Data Available!", though shut down mce --> success Log-File has been created (3kb). --> success --> however, only startup activity being logged --> MCE does not log activity regarding simbrief integration and file management. Can you add logging to the relevant places?

As this seems to be a lost cause I have another suggestion: Would it be possible to implement a "--debug" switch that makes mce.exe log all relevant actions (incl. errors) in a log file?

Still no luck. I was actually using "v3.0.18". Still "No Data Available" and no files in the folder. 😞

Perfect - will check tomorrow.

As I wrote before: MCE requests the flight plan from Simbrief. And Simbrief sends it. I could confirm it through Fiddler (https logging). I have no issues with Simbrief at all. The problem is that MCE somehow can't process it - and no data ends up in the folder where it belongs.

I can confirm through https-logging that MCE successfully receives the fight plan from SimBrief. It's definitely the handling of the data afterwards that causes the problems. And as I understand this is not fixable, correct?

Okay, so the ATC pane looks normal again - I hadn't yet reswitched to "other ATC". Now that's done. I get the "Waiting on simbrief" message again. But after clicking "Get Flight Plan" I again get the "No Data Available!" message. No files downloaded to the my documents folder.

I've just set up specific fw rules for MCE. That did not help yet. Thereafter, I renamed my MCE-my-documents folder, ran the factory reset procedure, wizard, and restarted. ---> MCE DID recreate a "Multi Crew Experience" folder. Now the ATC pane has changed a little - it shows the flight info with callsign, regsitration, flight rules, origin, etc. Data obviously taken from MSFS directly. I think this is how MCE looked before the simbrief integration was implemented. (Maybe the factory reset had reverted sth it shouldn't have?) I click on "Get Flight Plan" - it asks me again to supply my simbrief ID - I do. But then nothing happens. Clicking on "Get Flight Plan" doesn't do anything anymore. The screen just flashes once. No "Waiting on SimBrief" anymore. Even after restarting and retrying minutes apart.

Hi Gerald, happy new year! Now I've checked again. No files are being created in the folder. We might be onto something because I have used standard windows functionality to move my "My Documents" folder to another hard drive (E:). The "Multi Crew Experience" folder has been created correctly, though. The only contents, however, are the subfolders "Checklists" and "MyVoiceScripts". I have not altered any folder permissions here. And I always start MCE "as an administrator". Reading and writing should not be a problem here. Any specific setting that I should try? Best Christopher

Okay, thanks! I downloaded and installed the latest patch above. I am sitting at the stand - cold and dark - A32NX. When I click "Get Flight Plan" the right pane briefly (2-3 secs) shows "Waiting on SimBrief" - then "No Data Available!". No other messages. The FP is still not being loaded. Meanwhile, the FBW EFB loaded the active plan automatically without problems.

I installed the latest patch now. The message "Invalid Simbrief ID number." is gone now. However, now the GUI says "Waiting on Simbrief" and then "No Data Avaliable!" / nothing after that. Importing the plan into FBW or Fenix (tried both) before was easy and took just one click. Could you please have another look? Can I provide you with logs?
