Can I do that on Xbox ?
I have no idea. You should have clarified that in your original post.
To get an exported flight plan from Navigraph or SimBrief into MSFS on Xbox you must open it from the world map using MSFS on your PC (don’t touch the plan…) then immediately save it to Xbox cloud as a PLN. On the Xbox you can then open the flight plan.

I’ve edited the post, even so It would be good if you could submit the IFR from the cockpit. I’m not sure what the ‘Request IFR clearance’ actually does if it doesnt sync the TAC plan with the FMC flightplan.
You are expecting MS to write specific code to read the flight plan loaded into any FMC from any developer which are all coded differently? On Xbox even? That would be a monumental task. Request IFR Clearance requests an IFR clearance based on your loaded flight plan at the world map (that is your filed plan). Unfortunately, you can do as posted above by @OliveAmoeba3772 or live with the limitations of running MSFS on Xbox.
Ok then how about being able to import the simbrief flightplan directly into the world map, Rather than doing it in the cockpit.
Could you elaborate? Do you mean you must have MSFS on PC in addition to Xbox to do this? Thanks
Hi,
Yes, you must have MSFS on the PC as well.
I only have a low-end laptop these days so I normally use it to define flight plans and routes using LNM or Navigraph then export as MSFS .PLN file, load into MSFS on PC then save to the cloud to it can be opened on the Xbox.
With SimBrief, I normally use planes on Xbox that have direct integration so I don’t need the the PC bit.
If you need any help, just ask.

It works perfectly fine with the a310. Even with the citation. I don’t see it being that hard for devs to make it work for the a320neo v2 for Xbox. Seems they started it but never finished.
Are you sure it works with a310? C700, sure, since it uses the JS stack. But I haven’t seen any wasm aircraft which do this unless they go out of their way to sync with the in game planner. I know FBW a32nx has a sync fpl option, which is a part js, part wasm aircraft (I think). JF 146 UNS1 seems to do that too and apparently it’s a wasm gauge.
To verify i would try creating a flight plan A to B and load into sim in airport A. And then I’ll create simbrief plan A to C and load that in to the FMC of a310. Then try requesting ATC clearance and see what happens. I may very well be wrong here, but I would be very surprised if that’s the case.
First of all people needs to stop blaming Asobo. It’s Microsoft, people, they are the high level decision makers. And no, Asobo and Microsoft are not the same.
Now, what makes you think that those aforementioned developers would have been ready to dump their business of catering to the P3D and X-plane userbase and move on to a completely new, incomplete, unproven platform form a company which has a history of abandoning the said platform?
Remember it took nearly 2 years before we started getting very high complexity addons, I remember, end of April of 2022 when maddogx and jf 146 launched. The DC 6 arrived late 2021, more than 1 year after msfs public release.
And Microsoft wouldn’t have just bought them outright, well they certainly could, but they probably wanted to see how the market reacts to the new sim first. Once they saw the market reaction, they have been working with many such partners. They got workingtitle under their payroll, they got partnerships with inibuilds, carenado, Gaya, aeroplane heaven, Hans Hartman and the list goes on. Not all of them have been steller, sure. But things should improve as well.
May be those developers specially navigraph and hifi simulations would be good to have as first party partners. But Microsoft changed the status quo with this sim. Sure it’s not perfect, but in the other platforms, you didn’t get free navdata every AIRAC cycle. Nor did you get good weather simulation using real world weather data (not metar). Neither did you get such nice looking scenery without spending anything extra. And now with 2024, we can assume things will get better.

The default a310 yes. All I do is import from simbrief on the fms and not the world planner in the menu, perf calculations and the option to request ifr from atc pops up.
It’s up to the 3d party devs, they need to use the simbrief plugin provided by Navigraph.

Ah… well it never worked for me on PC, but I’ll have to check if things have improved.
