Hi, I am still new to Navigraph and SimBrief and I have to admit I find it pretty difficult to find out how these two tools work together. I understand they are supposed to be used both but idk how. If I create a flight in Navigraph Charts, how do I get it into SimBrief so I can add the rest of the information for my OFP there? Or the other way round, if I create a flight plan in SimBrief, how do I get it into Charts, modify it, add a departure and approach and get that back into SimBrief? Can somebody help me figure out how this is supposed to work, please? ---

hello sethas Here’s my workaround: I create a new flight in the SIM-Brief by entering Depart, Arrival and the aircraft. I may adjust the runways and routes and finally click on “Generate” and create the OFP. Important: OFP is always a possible planning that takes place before the flight. When I’m on the plane, I go to the Navigraph charts and go to Flights - Import Flight - Import from SimBrief and pull in the planned flight. Now I can adjust the departures and approaches depending on the weather and ATC. In real life, it can happen again and again that the runway, for example, changes at short notice ---

Hello balu69, thanks for your reply. So I understand the OFP doesn’t need to be totally accurate in regard to the departures or approaches. But what if I’d like to modify the route manually in Navigraph Charts? Is it possible to somehow update the route in SimBrief according to the changes in Navigraph Charts? ---

I’m not a pilot, but I think that in real life the OFP is not adjusted afterwards. The OFP is only adjusted manually at most. In the SIM-Life you can load the route into the clipboard in the Navigraph charts under Flights - Export - Copy to Clipboard and paste it into the Simbrief under Route this ---

i make my route in charts, click the edit button at the top at the route info and copy the whole plan. after selecting airports and aircraft in simbrief, i delete simbrief’s advised route and paste my route into simbrief . that works quite well for me ---

Thanks for the links, Ian. Since this question seems to come up often, may I suggest that you add a button for it? Something like “Transfer flight plan to SimBrief” or something? Especially when you are starting out, in my experience, you ask yourself why you need two tools at all and then next, how do they actually work together? Apparently not at all for this use case. ---

Hi, We are working on ways to further improve the flight plan transfer between Charts and SimBrief. Stay tuned. Regards, Stephen ---

+1 for this feature or something like it. Really what I want is for me (a human) to use Charts to design the flight plans, but integrate them with software like MSFS24 avionics, APLv2’s Schedules, and SI.AI’s prefiled plans. Since those things support Simbrief, sending the data from Charts to SimBrief would accomplish the goals. Even better would be for Charts to directly support all the same integrations SimBrief does, but presumably that would require a more ambitious merging of the two products. ---

Hi Stephen and Ian, I see that this is a relatively old thread but I feel compelled to add my thoughts regarding my use of SimBrief and Charts and the current need to manually move OFP data into Charts and back again into SimBrief (both phenomenal!). Brief Scenario: I create a FP in Simbrief and then move to Charts and import it. I add my SID and STAR to achieve my NavFP. ATC modifies my NavFP to deviate around Wx. Now I need to determine if I can comply based upon the extra fuel burn that the ATC-modified FP requires. In Charts I edit the FP by either editing the FP at the top pill/text box or rubber-banding the flight route to match ATC’s modified FP. Now I have to copy the new route string and go back to SimBrief and start all over, so to speak. Reading your post I am certain that you recognize the importance and value of integrating SimBrief OFP functionality within Charts NavFP functionality so that we can see immediately the effect of FP modifications upon fuel and more. I am equally certain that there would remain a place for the current discreet and separate apps, but for paid Navigraph Charts subscribers like myself and others such a succession to a singular integrated solution would be market-changing and truly a revenue-enhancing value-add. Thanks for considering my thoughts and for your response when you have a chance.
