I am unfamiliar with that error message, and normally SimBrief runs in the web browser so it doesn’t make sense to see such a message.

Are you perhaps trying to launch the SimBrief Downloader?

A screenshot would be helpful if you can send one. 🙂

Cheers,

Hi, if you update the base X-Plane AIRAC data it should also update the FMC I believe. This video might be of help: [Update the AIRAC Cycle for X-Plane 12 - How to Resolve NAVDATA Out of Date Issue for X-Plane 12 - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WTBvRrxKhK4)

To get a SimBrief flight plan into the airplane, you would export or download the X-Plane 11/12 format into the `<XPlane>/Output/FMS plans` folder. Then in the FMC, there should be a way to import it. Maybe by clicking the “Route Menu” line but I’m not sure, I couldn’t find any tutorials for this part.

Best regards,
