Where is the flight planner? Can we use Navigraph?

BTW I’m finding today that this web based planner works much better for me than the in sim on, despite their similarities!

Now how do you move a plan to the aircraft?

Easy peezy. Open the EFB, open the flight plan, and press send to avionics. Done! One thing that happens to work a expected LOL!

Are you in the onboard EFB?

Not now, watching TV, but yes in the game. Earlier I literally made a flight plan on my iPad, pressed save, and opened it up on the EFB in 2024 second later (on Xbox Series X, if that matters).

One caveat: It matters to select VFR as it defaults to IFR and that setting is not the first thing one sees. Check it out.

I tried the web-based flight planner yesterday and it wouldn’t even let me save a plan (the “save” button was active, but unresponsive, perhaps a bug or related to the server issues), today that seems to work.

I don’t like that the planner doesn’t use the same data as the sim, ie. not every airport present in the sim is available in the planner. So I would like to stick to my existing workflow, alas… I can’t seem to figure out how to load a .pln file from my local drive.

In MSFS2020, it was World Map → More → Load from PC.

Is it still possible to load locally created flight plans? If so, how?

Found it, stupid me:

The same question here, not sure if there is an option to load a flightplan created with simbrief or something like that in MSFS 2024?
