Add Navigraph / SimBrief link account option to the sim

Hey there, as the title says, im requesting a option in sim to link the navigraph or simbrief account to get the AIRAC updated and transfer my flight plans direcly to my sim. Im asking for this since im a xbox user and im more a Long haul flights guy and adding every waypoint of the route and airways (because we cant add airways in the fmc) is a little bit tired to add more than 30 waypoints of the route. It could work adding the fpl to a menu section and being able to load it up in the fmc. As mentioned before this will work more for the xbox users since PC users already have this options with 3rd party products and the access to the sim folders. Hope this comes anytime soon! :slight_smile:

Cheers

Xbox is slow to update. Simbrief data changes very quickly. So by the time the update happened it wouldn’t work.

I am also a Xbox user.

I see that .pln file to be imported from onedrive is under investigation which is a great move for xbox players …

What if i can manage a navigraph subscription from the xbxo store through the VFR map tap in the simulator .images (2)

That would be amazing. Right now I just have Navigraph on an Ipad and manually scroll during the flight if I am flying A.I.

There is 1 plane so far on the xbox you can sign into Navigraph on, Its the HJet. I hope this is the first of many.

will that work on Xbox?

Yes it works. You need to buy the Hjet. All it does is put up to date maps on the G3000 makes it easier for looking up certain details of you have nothing else.

This might be a tough one.

With Navblue(Airbus) being the navigational data supplier for MSFS, there could be contractual issues creating a feature that is dependent on the Jeppesen(Boeing) supplied data used in Navigraph.

This can’t be fulfilled by Microsoft as previously noted for licensing reasons. Navigraph has a solution planned for PC. Please contact Navigraph for details. There is no foreseeable solution for XBox.

I would like to ask the msfs/asobo team to accept the integration of simbrief within the sim for Xbox as well, in the navigraph forums I have asked the same before to them and was told that they would like it and that msfs/asobo have told them to “wait”. On Xbox in my opinion we are ignored often and often and I don’t understand the not integrating such a useful thing for us Xbox users, please I ask you to consider accepting this new feature for msfs, because for now basically the only reason that isn’t coming for Xbox is that msfs/asobo told them to wait.

Now that it came out for pc and I opened a thread saying to do it for Xbox too they closed it for me, it makes me crazy this thing

I’d you don’t mind me being a bit of a contrarian, I actually think the dependency of MSFS on Simbrief and especially Navigraph is kind of problematic. The former’s free and very useful, great. But the latter means that enjoyment of the sim to it’s fullest is dependent on a(nother) subscription. And it’s not like Navigraph should be free, they need to function. But it seems that the communication of flight plans between MSFS and its planes has become an afterthought. Why not integrate Simbrief and Navigraph into 2024 and charge a subscription, since anyone doing air lines will have to cough up anyways?

Microsoft have partenered with Working Title for flightplanning in MSFS 2024.

I presume that means AIRAC updates will stream automatically or be available. However I can’t find any firm information about AIRAC updates.

The Working Title 2024 flight planner should work on the Xbox, as well as PC.

It can run in a browser, like a tablet or phone on the same network as the Xbox/PC.
