Hi…,

Welcome.

In SimBrief, load or create flight, generate flight, under Flightplan downloads, download MSFS2020 format.

Copy the resultant .pln to c:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator\_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState or equivalent.

In MSFS press spacebar twice to load flight plan at World Map. Optionally on some aircraft load flight plan using SimBrief username.

Cheers  
Ian
