I’ve been having trouble loading flight plans while in the Fenix a320. I’ve read the other topics similar to this issue but none of the suggested solutions worked! I am not entering the destination airport, I am starting from dark and cold, my Simbrief ID is entered in correctly in all the places. Here is also what I am doing:
Perform:
MCDU MENU
ATSU
AOC MENU
FLT INIT
INIT DATA REQ
The steps above work and loads data. However, when I then perform the following in the INIT page:
-INIT
-INIT REQUEST*
It seems to try (*) disappears for a bit but then it returns having not loaded any information in the init page.
I’ve tried many flight plans with Simbrief for various departures and destinations incase some of the waypoints may have something to do with this (as some posts suggest) but still no luck. What might be causing this?

Okay, thanks @Ariana2022UK. That worked via the secondary flight plan approach. So that’ll help for now, It can be a workaround for time being. Any idea what might be behind the original issue behavior?
Just completed a screen share with @Benyasso3921 and identified the problem.
If you start an engine BEFORE you complete the MCDU initialization (Request Init). There is a message at the bottom of the MCDU requesting weights, etc, and the INIT doesn’t complete.
At this point, you can implement the workaround by going into the SEC FLPN etc…
I don’t know if this is a bug or by design as I am not a real world pilot, but, the MCDU setup in the A320 checklist comes much before you start an engine.
If you complete the init BEFORE starting the engine, it works as it is supposed to.
@skypilotYTS Hi there! I’m having some issues as well. Tried using the sec flpn work around and still not working. Would you be willing to do a share with me? Sent a request on discord.
