Route File Export

Any possibility of request the PFPX, PMDG, Xplane files through the API? Like:

$simbrief->ofp_obj->route_file->PMDG

Hi, you can get download links for the various route/fms file formats as follows:

$link = $simbrief->ofp_obj->fms_downloads->directory . $simbrief->ofp_obj->fms_downloads->{code}->link;

Where {code} is the 3 letter code for the format you want to download. The 3 letter format codes for all of SimBrief’s formats are as follows:

Code Format Name

abx Aerosoft Airbus
a3e Aerosoft Airbus EFB
crx Aerosoft CRJ

So, for example, to get the link for the PMDG .rte file, you would do:

$link = $simbrief->ofp_obj->fms_downloads->directory . $simbrief->ofp_obj->fms_downloads->pmr->link;

Which would result in a URL that looks something like: https://www.simbrief.com/ofp/flightplans/YPPHWADD_PMR_1632247975.rte

Does this already exists before my post or you just included in the API? Could`t find on the documentation.

By the way, thanks a lot! :star_struck:

No problem! It has always existed, just not documented much yet.

Most of the available data in the XML file isn’t documented, but the nodes are named in a way that should be pretty straight-forward. Try opening a SimBrief XML file in a web browser and scrolling through it to see what kind of data is available, you might find other information you can use!

Best regards,

You are right, I’m sorry. Never needed to work with the whole XML, the PHP samples are so easy to understand that I don’t even tried to see the whole thing.

Happy Flying!
