Simbrief EFB addon no longer posting in the Flight Details tab

Recently the Simbrief EFB addon is no longer posting all the details it used to in the Flight Details tab (see screenshot) after importing the route. The route is importing OK, but the tail number, some equipment etc is no longer importing in the flight details area. This was working before as it was fixed as part of a prior bug we worked on. No big issue overall, but wanted to indicate it had stopped working at some point.


Hello!

The previous integration with these flight details was a very hacky workaround and was bound to break at any point. The simulator did not intend for such an integration to exist at all, and those details were purely cosmetic.

It is possible that there has been an update to this interface that allows us to make a real integration now! Here is what I last heard from the developers behind it:

We’ll put it on the list of things to investigate in the future. Are you on SU3 beta?

Kind Regards,

Thanks for the update and insight. I just wanted to raise it in case it was indicative of a larger issue. Happy to wait on this one and test it if it ever gets added with expansion of the API. I am not on SU3 Beta.

I did a quick check to gauge its complexity so that I could prioritize it appropriately, and it appears to be a bug on the simulator / WT side!

I have reached out to WT on their Discord server. We’ll see where that leads :slight_smile:

Alright, quick update:

If you first open the Flight planner app, then open the SimBrief app and import your flight, everything should work. This is a technical limitation with the current state of the simulator.

Things may improve in the future! We have no control over this.

Kind Regards,
Malte
