Change file names in Simbrief downloader

Hello all,

Perhaps it has been asked before, if so I apologize.

I really liek the ease of use of tools like the simbrief downloader because they make life a lot easier. It takes away a lot of the unnecessary clicking. There is just one vital feature missing in the downloader and that is the ability to customize the titles of the files I can download/export in the simbrief downloader. I come from PFPX and with them discontinuing, I am chaning over to simbrief. So far so good and I like what I see, however, I already have a quite extensive list of files and a naming structure. I really find it a shame that I cannot change that within the downloader.

Is this something that can be ammended?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, this is on the to-do list, but it’s more of a long term update unfortunately.

I’m adding this link just as a reference, as I do understand this may be on the future but no clear when: Change file names in Simbrief downloader - SimBrief / Feature Requests - Navigraph, but based on some current usage on my side I found out some challenges with current configuration of files names for x-plane in particular.

The options available for X-plane are 3: X-plane 9/10, X-plane 11/12, X-plane 11/12 (No SID/STAR), but all with the same file name, and when exporting only one is available (in my case the first one).

Now I have different use in each case (at least the first two) but as only one is generated there is a need to then generated manually the other or get into the configuration eliminate one and the activate the other.

It will be possible to have those 3 options with different names (let’s say each one ending with a different name 01, 02, 03), or better to have the option to change the name that was requested a while ago ? :slight_smile:

Thank you
