In this video we'll show you how to make a flight plan in SimBrief. Head over to dispatch.simbrief.com to get started!
SimBrief is a freeware flight planning tool that produces accurate briefing packages for flight simulation. When creating a flight plan using SimBrief, a briefing package similar to those real-world pilots use will be generated. This will provide you with the essential information required to prepare for your flight.
SimBrief has gotten a complete redesign of the dispatch interface with a more modern look and feel and additional improvements under the hood. In the new version, you can expect a long list of improvements, such as dark mode and large text options, interface adjusts to any screen size, new dashboard section featuring latest flights, news or updates, NOTAMs and other general information to the airport weather pop-ups, and much more.
Compatible devices:
Desktop PC or Mac using Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari
iPad or iPhone running iOS 12.4 or later
Android tablets and phones

Hi there! You can only see SID and STAR charts in Navigraph Charts, but you can find the runway orientation in SimBrief. If you look at the runway name, you will see the runway orientation, for example, on KJFK runway 13R is 134° and 4L is 44°.

@rachelsobolewski2953 Месяц назад

Are you able to choose your own approach? For example: ILS, LNAV/VNAV, RNAV.

@Navigraphteam 25 дней назад

No, however you can choose the runway of your choice. The issue in SimBrief (and all dispatch) is that runways change all the time, so the approach is not included. Give your self a bit of padding for the fuel burn.

@hexadecimalpickle Год назад

Folks.. "Generate flight" is the primary action of that page, you must make it more visible to reduce the number of tickets :) A grey button among other grey buttons is a no no.

@jayc6170 Год назад

100%. There are very very good UX/UI designers at Navigraph but this generate flight button is not part of the flow in a way that makes any sense to someone who doesn’t already know it doesn’t make sense.

@salazarbernardo Год назад

Hi guys! Just subscribed to the Navigraph service and I have a question. Do you plan on making Charts 8 an All in one solution without having to use navigraph for flight planning? This way, I would be able to import the FP to my Fenix A320 straight from navigraph, cause its way more intuitive, specially regarding procedures. Tnx for the great work!

@Navigraphteam Год назад

Hi Bernardo. Did you mean not having to use SimBrief? We all have different workflows. You can import and export several formats, and also create a route in Navigraph Charts using the autoroute function. At the moment we are not considering any flight plan APIs from Charts into any addon but this could change is we were presented with a good use case. :)

@salazarbernardo Год назад

@@Navigraphteam Lets say I want to use navigraph charts 8 fantastic aproach and departure finder feature, and then load this very flight plan into the Fenix without going to simbrief which doenst have that feature... What can I do?

@triscadec Год назад

Is there a way to disable the yellow map? If not, can we please have a way to disable the map? Or if we have to live with the map, can we have the option of it displaying on the left or right side?

@Navigraphteam Год назад

Not as of yet.

@kenz122933 Год назад

10:13 now that you're united, why not integrating directly the auto-routing from charts 8 into simbrief ? 😀(make this at the condition the user already own charts 8 if you don't want to losse the business value of the autorouting function, but overall the process would be much more straightforward than jumping from one app to the other). Othe than that, simbrief was already an incredibly marvelous app and your UI reshaping on top of that is just perfect !

@dbeachy1 Год назад

One humble suggestion that could help prevent users missing the crucial step -- what about making the "Generate Flight" button green and in bold? Then it would stand out from all the other buttons, and we users would be less likely to miss it. 😊

Hi there! Our SimBrief developer has made the "Generate Flight" button much clearer with a blue marking. So we want to thank all of you who give us feedback and help us make a better product. :)

@FlyingMaxFr Год назад

If you get too many support tickets because a lot of users don't see the Generate button that's maybe because it should be made more visible?!

@bar10dr Год назад

Just an idea, but if you get a ton of support tickets regarding people not finding the button, then perhaps its the GUI that is wrong? I bet if you put a copy of the button at the bottom of the left side list, where its always visible, you will cut down on the amount of support tickets.

@petemac7969 Год назад

I went into this update today for the first time and i had no trouble figuring out that I had to click the Generate Flight button. It works the same way as the old interface, you just have to READ THE PAGE! Too many people have lost the ability to THINK for themselves and expect everyone to hold their hand and tell them what to do. Great update Navigraph! Thank you!

@bar10dr Год назад

@@petemac7969 I was just commenting on the amount of tickets they got on this one issue. Tickets cost money, there are people answering all of them. I wasn’t belittling their product, just making a point regarding the button. That you found it doesn’t change that a lot of people don’t, and as you say you were already used to its position. Just sounds to me like it would be smarter to move the button where users expect it to be rather than continue to have deal with a ton of support tickets when there is a simple fix for it.

How can you add an approach into a runway, for example an ILS approach

@Navigraphteam 7 месяцев назад

Hi there! You can't do it in SimBrief, because it's not realistic to select an Approach while planning a flight. The Approach is selected in your FMS with information from your destination airports NOTAM and ATIS information. But if you want to do it, I recommend using Navigraph Charts. You can select Approaches in Charts while planning a flight, as well as reading the destination airports NOTAM and ATIS.
