It’s ironic that they have prioritise streaming to make it easier and more convinient for casual players flight sim. Yet they expect users to floght plan using simbrief. 
I can tell you now that no casual player will use simbrief. They don’t want to spend 10-15min before each flight to flick back and forth between simbrief website, simbrief tablet, mdcu and also configuring third party ATC
In 2020 I fly in the Asobo A320 which had been discontinued for 2024. I love it. Yesterday I flew a new route. From LAX to Sanfransisco. In less than 1min I choose departure, arrival, approach. ATC worked well and the only issue was that I flight level could have been been 5,000 feet lower by the final two way point. However during my second flight of this route I compensated for that.
Overall that was an easy 1hour flight without using third party flight planning or atc.
Given that the TCA Airbus Edition is the hero pheriperal for the game I would expect this level of convinience to be offered by the 2024 EFB for all Airbus aircraft.

Exactly, it is really ironic that while the game aims to simplify things for casual players by making it more of a “game,” they are expected to use tools like Simbrief for flight planning, which can be more time-consuming. Casual players probably won’t want to spend that much time on complex planning.
Your experience with the Asobo A320 in 2020, where you could quickly set up a flight, highlights the importance of having an integrated flight planning tool. The new EFB in MSFS 2024 should definitely offer this level of convenience for all aircraft.
I hope the developers recognize this need.

Maybe they are expecting casual players to play careers, do activities and landing challenges. For those you don’t need flight planning.
Hopefully in next week’s developer stream they will speak about when the EFB will be fully functional for all planes.

Interesting that path 3 includes EFB to cockpit updates for several aircraft including Boeing but not innibuild ones.

Premised on the fact that I have never liked inibuilds aircraft, particularly because of their messy and unimmersive sounds, I now dislike them even more because they stubbornly refuse to communicate with the new EFB.
Does it work with Boeing aircraft?
Its not a matter of casual or not. Im not paying for a subscription for updated nav data and charts when i already have them. Thats insane.

Well said! It’s insane and inconsistent because after all the hype they created around the new flight planner, I got my hopes up! But without the ability to interface with the default aircraft, I now feel deceived and regret buying MSFS 2024. No one should be forced into a position where they have to pay an additional subscription for the navigation database; it should be an option if they choose to.

Actually, even in career you’ll have to manually recreate the flight plan in the aircraft’s tablet and MCDU if you use an Airbus, since the plane doesn’t recognise the game EFB or flight plans at all
