Just to see how it works in the sim I just did a simple IFR flight from Chilliwack (CYCW) to Penticton (CYYF) in a C172. Everything actually worked pretty much perfectly… other than the atrocious real life weather! Overkill for the flight I did but I think it demonstrated that it works properly.

I loaded it up via my Navigraph Hub and signed in to my account and played around with it for awhile.

Typical Navigraph product. Pretty much top notch. It worked well and is a nice addition.

Navigraph is an amazing value. I love it.

Makes life easier in sim. Using it atm with the Dash 7 multi leg Antarctic to Arctic Canada-Greenland. Works well too with the PMS50.

I love it!

Hi @NAVData, just a small suggestion, couldn’t the PDF reader integrated in the dispatch app rather than launching an external browser ?

works great and is a good addition. Especially when doing turnarounds. No more need to get out of the cockpit.
Yesterday there were a few connection issues, but i assume that was just the servers being overloaded with guys like me playing with the new toy :wink:

In the future I hope that Simbrief and Navigraph can be combined in one Toolbar App. It is getting crowded up there :wink:

This interface is one of the best ideas for MSFS.
Great work.

Asobo/msfs also this useful feature you will not put on Xbox ? Am I right ? As usual

The only thing that stays a problem is the top of decent and altitude calls only works properly when a flight plan is made in MSFS.

I tested out two flights from EGLL to EHAM one generated with Simbrief Dispatch and the other with MSFS flight planner.
With the MSFS flight plan i get the right altitude calls from dispatch on TOD to decent to the airport, but with the flight plan of simbrief dispatch i get no TOD decent calls and i am way up to high to land on EHAM.

So nothing is changed, it’s still the same simbrief flight plan without the right altitudes.

Or: MSFS is still having the wrong altitudes in his flightplanner but as it is linked to theor own ATC there is an acxeptable outcome. :man_shrugging:

Because when you Simbrief and ius calculated profile and use a different ATC program than the quite incomplete and inaccurate default ATC, you do not run in any TOD issues.

At least I never did.
But i am not using default ATC.

What ATC do you use?

BATC
Not free but worth every cent.

But 2 weeks before lainch of a new sim is probably not the best time to consider switching.

Certainly not!
First wait what MSFS 2024 brings us and if 3rd party developers are ready for the switch.

One very interesting thing is it now allows turnarounds with the default atc. So you can arrive in one of the tube liners for example and then plan and load your return journey without having to leave the cockpit This is pretty huge for people who like to use the tube liners and the default atc. Your return journey now has your new flight plan. You have to recontact clearance and then it works as if you had just loaded the flight from the flight planner.

I installed it via Navigraph Hub, started it and selected login. I then went through the entering code process and the navigraph page said that the link had been approved, yet the dispatch page just sits there with the QR code dialogue.

hmmm, looks like MSFS needs a restart. It’s a good job MSFS is so quick to start up. :wink:

Is this available for Xbox? I doubt it is but I wanted to make sure.

It had to be installed to the community folder. So I think, it’s not compatible with Xbox, unfortunately.

That’s why I use Parallel 42’s Flow Pro.

I installed Simbrief Dispatch and I can see it but when I click on it from the toolbar in the cockpit all I get is twirling. Simbrief window opens but does not start. Just twirlling.
Its fine when I do it from the world map before launching into the flight but no go when I’m in the cockpit. Any suggestions?
