FR24 to SimBrief — Quick OFP Generator
Wanted to share a free tool I’ve been working on: fr24tosimbrief.com
The idea is simple — grab a flight from FlightRadar24, paste the link, and it pulls all the flight data (origin, destination, aircraft, airline, route) and sends it straight to SimBrief to generate your OFP. No more manually typing in airport codes. The aircraft ICAO type gets pre-filled automatically, but you’ll still select your specific airframe (Fenix, PMDG, etc.) on SimBrief’s dispatch page once it opens.
What it does:
∙ Paste any FR24 link (live or historic flights) and it auto-fetches the flight details
∙ One click to generate your OFP in SimBrief with everything pre-filled
∙ Override the aircraft type if you want to fly something different than what’s on the real flight
∙ Flight Finder tab if you don’t have an FR24 link — pick an airline, aircraft, and departure airport and it generates a realistic destination. It factors in real-world aircraft range and matches airport size to your aircraft type, so no CRJs landing at tiny GA strips or Cessnas pulling into a widebody gate. If you pick an airline, it prioritizes airports they actually serve.
∙ Flight length preference (short/medium/long) so you can match your session time
∙ Works on mobile too
It’s completely free, no account needed. Just been building it as a side project because I got tired of the copy-paste routine between FR24 and SimBrief every time I wanted to fly a real-world route.
Would love to hear any feedback or feature suggestions. Check it out at fr24tosimbrief.com
