ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
When I create a flight plan with default EFB in MSFS 2024, the send to avionics option does not work. Nothing will be sent to the FMC. I have noticed this problem on all default inuBuilds aircraft.

If applicable, which aircraft is experiencing this issue:
All default aircraft iniBuilds.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?
Yes

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)? Always

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

Create a flight plan and send it to avionics with EFB.

This is not a bug. iniBuilds didn’t integrate default EFB with their planes intentionally. They know it and it’s not going to change anytime soon, if ever.

For Microsoft/iniBuilds aircraft, aren’t flight plans load using SimBrief and the pilot’s tablet? I don’t think there is a link to/from the EFB. In other words, this might not be a bug but it is working as designed.

• Yes. On Xbox

• create a flight on the globe page, when the aircraft loads up the flight plan isn’t I the aircraft system.

The 747 freighter has no simbrief option like the A330 nor does it have an in cockpit EFB.

I’ve yet to try the 747 pax version, maybe that has simbrief via the FMC

7

I was using the new EFB as the SimBrief integration isn’t working with the built in one ( a separate bug report has been submitted for that issue).

No matter how I put in my credentials my flight plans do not download into the EFB. I assumed that the new EFB had taken its place. With absolutely no documentation regarding MSFS 2024 I went with my assumption.

8

So I can’t use the EFB with the A320 neo then? I was trying use it and can’t program any routes with it. So I guess I will have to use simbrief to use it then? I am using MSFS 2024 and I am really stuck on how to use this. Is there anyway to program the waypoints from the EFB by punching in every waypoint etc into the FMC?

Thank you,

Kurt

As I understand it, from comments in this forum, the A320 Neo V2 and any other airliner developed by Inibuilds use the SimBrief EFB. If you want to create a flight plan and then transfer it into the FMC, you use SimBrief and their EFB to the pilots left on the window ledge.

If you want to use the new MSFS 2024, you need to manually enter the waypoints and use the tool in that EFB to calculate and enter the take off speeds and weight parameters.

The only airliner in the standard version that uses the MSFS 2024 EFB which I have used is the 737 Max BBJ by Asobo.

With absolutely no information on setup from the developer Asobo, this is impossible for a novice to prepare and fly. It has a totally different approach than the Airbus airliners.

There are YouTube content providers who have posted how-to videos but aside from Jonathan Beckett’s (who also sells a setup list on his website) they are not as detailed as required regarding programming and flying the BBJ IMHO.

Wait, not only it doesn’t work, but it’s not even PLANNED to work !? I can’t take a320, make a flight plan on the world map, and then fly it ? Something which actually works in 2020 ? Do I understand it correctly ?

Same for me. The A220 Neo has been my favorite plane in MSFS2020 - as it also was one of the easiest to use. Now it took months and lots of updates for MSFS2024 to work somehow at all for me. It still is barely usable due to texture pop-ups and lagging texture loading (though PC specs are more than enough and MSFS2024 just uses 30 mbit/s of the available 1000 mbit/s).

Now I barely got it working and experience the same problem.

The flightplanning is useless for alle Airbus planes due to inibuils not being interested in making it work.

The Boeing ones just work.

Maybe as a hard working doctor and father of kids I just expected a built in flightplanner to work with the built in planes but no way. I won’t invest even more time to just use external flightplanners.

I do it this way:

  1. I check I do not have any plans in MSFS or WASM/IniBuilds folders. If there are any I delete them just for any case.

  2. I create a plan in SimBrief (I use a free version with the old database) and generate it but I do not download it. I leave the page with generated plan open as I need it as a source of information.

  3. I start the Sim (if not started already) and spawn at a Gate in the Airport of departure, open the EFB and create a plan there - the plan has to look as the plan created in SimBrief as close as possible, the distance especially. I fill all the EFB pages for fuel/weight (here I use my SimBrief plan which is open for me in my browser) - there are 2 main fuel/weight pages, one is where we create the plan in Navigation sector, and the second is on the page marked in the EFB menu with a plane symbol. I load the plan and send it to ATC and I also load the plane and it appears in the plane’s MCDU.

  4. I use the IniBuilds Tablet (I do not press the button to load a plan from ) - I put there wights/fuel and calculate Vrefs and send data to FMGS. I just do not have here OFP as did not load the plan and I have to input fuel/weight data manually. Other pages are usable.
