• Same here. On planes that support it I create the flight plan with simbrief. Because of the xbox keyboard popping up, the only way to create a fp in msfs is to click and add the waypoints on the efb map. Very tedious. This diminishes the ATC experience in the sim .

• Typing opens up a pull down menu which suggests the airport you want for you to select but this goes away once you close the Xbox keyboard preventing you from selecting the airport

Sincerely hoping that Asobo are going to address this in SU2 seen as though it is still broken in SU1. We are 4 months into FS2024 and I am unable to fly anything that doesn’t have Simbrief because the EFB is still broken on Xbox and doesn’t recognise anything you type.

Yeah, same here. The EFB does have some new features, but i cant get the text boxes to work.

Yep still not fixed in SU2 meaning Xbox users STILL cannot use the default EFB 4 months after launch.

I have the same issue. Please Asobo, Microsoft - FIX THIS! I cannot type into any EFB. I am on Xbox series X.
