Working Title CJ4 / SimBrief Flight Plan import

If followed the Operator’s Guide for the CJ4 Simbrief section:

  1. Configuration of FMC
  2. entered my 6 digit pilot ID under MOD SET and pressed LSK L2
  3. the correct ID appears in GREEN as described
  4. created a flight plan in SimBrief and saved it
  5. go again to the IDX page in the FMS
  6. opened the ROUTE MENU
  7. see the FPLN RECALL (SB) line with my correct PILOT ID in GREEN
  8. click FPLN RECALL (SB) and always get the error message WRONG PILOTID

I tried several times but seem not to be able to import the flightplans from SimBrief

the flightplans from MSFS (Game) import without problem

Any idea what is wrong?
Thanks

Walter, I follow your exact procedure daily without issue. The only thing I can imagine is if you’ve transposed your digits. Nothing else comes to mind. Mack

Just to make sure (and with apologies if I’m stating the obvious): when you say you are saving the flight plan in SimBrief, are you clicking “SAVE FLIGHT”? That will only save the flight plan for later use within SimBrief. To be able to import the flight plan in the CJ4, you should click “GENERATE OFP” instead, because only then will SimBrief actually compile the flight plan.
If you’re already doing that, then I am also at a loss. As @Dueller6 said, otherwise your procedure seems absolutely correct.

Hi and thanks for input
I had no transposed digits, however, I did really miss to hit GENERATE OFP in SimBrief.
Now the import works perfectly.

One more question regarding SimBriefs flightplans for CJ4.
Do you set the runways and/or STAR/SID information in the SimBrief flightplan or only later in the simulation in the FMC?

I usually set them manually to be more flexible in case the winds aren’t what I expected in the sim. Especially on longer flights, I enter the arrival data during cruise to allow for changing weather.
This way, you can also reuse your routes more easily.

I have a question as to importing SimBrief flight plans?

  1. No problem getting the Simbrief flight plan into the CJ4 FMC. but now the ATC knows nothing about this flight plan?
  2. If I import it to Microsoft simulator it works OK.
    So do I have to import the flight plan into both MSF and CJ4 in order for both to work?
    Or am I missing something?

That is what I do, sort of. I actually develop the plan in Navigraph and then import that into MSFS and Simbrief.

The MSFS ATC knows nothing of the plan in the CJ4, only what you see on the workld map startup.

I usually go over the route on the MFSF start and simbrief to make sure they match.

I think there is a simple way to synchronise the simbrief flight plan with ATC.
If you go to IDX in the FMS and then to the second page (where you also import the simbrief plan), there is an option MOD SET on the left side (where you can also turn on ground power and other things.)
Under MOD SET you find on the right top the option FP SYNC. You only have to put that ON and your imported flight plans (simbrief or MSFS) should be recognized by ATC.

Last update 1.30.12.0 when I select ROUTE MENU I have message KEY NOT ACTIVE

What’s mean?
This feature is not yet implemented ?

There is no Simbrief integration in the new AAU1 CJ4 for licensing reasons. This has been known since Beta.

Please refer to the Official Support Thread for any other inquiries. Thanks.
