Simbrief generated PLN file will not load in MSFS 2020 or Little Navmap

I can create a flight plan on the world map in MSFS 2020 and save it, fly it, and reload it later. I create a flight plan in Simbrief, generate it, and use SImbrief Downloader to export it to MSFS 2020. I use the Open/Load feature in MSFS 2020 to try and open the pln file and nothing happens. I have tried this with a dozen pln files from Simbrief. Everything I read on the net says this should work and I have seen demo videos doing it. Anyone have any information on why this is not working or is there another step somewhere? I also loaded a Simbrief plan directly in the SF 50 Vision Jet from a small airport that is a multi-leg round robin but the IFR clearance only seems to recognize the cold and dark flight I use to place the airplane at the airport. The flight plan created in MSFS 2020 shows departure and arrival airport as the same airport which is expected. MSFS 2020 seems to ignore the SImbrief plan loaded inside the Vision Jet. A frustrating scenario…

I did another test …Little NavMap will not load the Simbrief generated pln file either. It shows an exception error Error reading “” on line 14 column 43; Expected ‘#’ or ‘[a-xA-Z]’ but got ’ '.

Hi, thanks for the report. The issue with loading your SimBrief .pln file into the world map and LittleNavMap should be fixed now.

Please regenerate your flight plan and let me know if it works for you!

Cheers,

Will test and let you know the results

Tested this morning in both MSFS and Little NavMap. Your fix has corrected the issue. The PLN file loaded perfectly into MSFS and Little NavMAp. Appreciate your quick resolution of the issue.
