On my flight to Ajaccio I got a bad surprise. The ATC in Ajaccio completely mess with flight plan as you see in pics.
I was planned for 02 and they gave me 20. Why?
This is probably your issue, from the SU14 release notes:
NEW CONTENT/FEATURES
- Added flight plan assistance setting for ATC in the user experience assistance settings so that users can request the ATC to favor their flight plan or world map flight settings over the current conditions. This assistance is set to “Active” by default. Active: ATC will set the active runway and approach for the departure and arrival airport based on the users flight plan or settings in the world map. Deactivated: ATC will set the active runway and approach based on current conditions only.
Yes but “ATC Enforce Flight plan” is activated in my settings. Thats why I wonder too.

See this is just insane. I have it disable, I wanna land based on whatever is the active runway is. I fly live.
With it OFF. Even refreshing my OFP 10 mins out to double check. ATC just landed me with the wind. The wrong way. As soon as I saw the sock I knew.
I was planning on the correct side all along and could have saved myself the hassle of swapping my FMC to adjust for my approach. ILS/CRS ect.
Side note: The fact it’s default ON is trashing traffic at airports.
No offense to wanting to use it. I’m good with people wanting to play how they want. That’s never going to change.
This feature is breaking everything. I’m used to runway changes after a long flight. But look at KJFK or any other popular airport, it’s chaos. Just a mix of ppl having zero clue this is enabled by default.
Generally Simbrief hasn’t ever been wrong, nothing I’ve noticed. (Maybe)
Landing me with the wind is the part that bothers me. I’m used to everything else… outside of runway spawns, most players know what’s up.
So rant over… Mines off. ATC ignored weather and wind and landed me the wrong way. ATC has zero clue anymore.
19004kts CYYC. Atc landed me 35L when I planned on 17 IFR world map set based on OFP. Should have swapped it but dealing with ATC is the last thing I wanna do while waiting on my button to un-gray while I’m on my Star.
The problem is I planned the whole flight resp. SimBrief did it according to the rules at the airports and I have the light version and I am not able to switch STAR just some minutes before touch down. I expect it to work as it has been planned.
I understand your point but I just want the flight to be as it has been planned. Otherwise why should I bother and plan with SimBrief?

It swapped you against your wishes, and swapped me to the wrong way and I trusted its ability to know the active RW 
. Can’t help but laugh
So this is a Asobo Bug?
I’ve had issues with the landing runway always changing for some time now but I’ve only just found out that the “ATC enforce flight plan” setting (ON) only works if you enter a flight plan (xxxxx.pln file generated from Simbrief) into MSFS before you fly. I wish they’d made this clearer.
