How to get flight plan to avionics on A400m

On the A400m, I have the flight plan in the tablet. How on earth do I get that to the avionics? I have been tearing my hair our on this for hours. Is there a button to press on the tablet or the FMGES?

I have also tried using the EFB in MS2024 and its Send to Avionics button. Neither can get the flight plan to the avionics.

Any ideas or is this a bug?

Thanks

In some planes the ā€œsend to avionicsā€ has not been implemented. The A400M and other airbus for example. There is a wish list item for this - please vote so it will be added.

iniBuilds planes are not integrated with default EFB. I donā€™t understand why since they are default planes but well, every element of this game is half-baked so itā€™s not a big surprise.

IniBuilds as well as WT have said the infomation to do this has only been made available recently. So, give them some time. There seems to be significant demand.

To import a flight plan into the Airbus A400M in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 (MSFS 2024), follow these steps:

Create a Flight Plan in SimBrief:

Use SimBrief to generate your desired flight plan.
Ensure you have the appropriate SimBrief profile for the A400M. iniBuilds provides accurate profiles for various aircraft, including the A400M. Y

Enter Your SimBrief Pilot ID in the EFB:

In the A400Mā€™s Electronic Flight Bag (EFB), navigate to the Options page.
Enter your SimBrief Pilot ID in the designated field. Your Pilot ID can be found on the ā€˜Account Settingsā€™ page on SimBrief.
Import the Flight Plan via the MCDU:

Access the Multifunction Control and Display Unit (MCDU) in the A400Mā€™s cockpit.

1.1Press the INIT button to open the initialization page.
2.Select the INIT REQUEST option on the screen to import the flight plan.
3.If successful, an ā€œAOC RTE UPLINKā€ message will appear in the scratchpad.

Manually Configure Additional Settings:

After importing, manually input the fuel and load data via the FUEL & LOAD page.
Select the appropriate SIDs (Standard Instrument Departures), STARs (Standard Terminal Arrival Routes), and approach procedures through the F-PLN (Flight Plan) page.

Please note that the ā€œSend to Avionicsā€ function in the EFBā€™s flight planner is not implemented for some aircraft, including the A400M. Therefore, importing the flight plan directly via the MCDU, as outlined above, is the recommended method.

Cheers
