## What I expected to happen.

> I want to connect my SimBrief ID on the build-in EFB on iniBuilds airplanes like the Fokker F-27

## What actually happened

_I am connected according to the options screen:_

I have comparable issues with other iniBuilds airplanes like the Airbus A320 NEO and the Airbus A400

Have you entered your SimBrief Pilot ID?

Ok, I assumed (bad, I know) that I was logged in / connected because it said “you are logged in as …”  
Now I entered my SimBrief user ID, using the EFB keyboard, and now I am indeed connected. It can’t find any flight-plans, which I definitely have, but that is another issue.

Make sure you press Generate flight in SimBrief.

Great, thnks. Because I use PS5 only, I am not very familiar with the workings of SimBrief in relation to the airplanes, having very few airplanes that actually connect to SimBrief, combined with the memory & avionics issues from the last build.  
I have another issue with the SimBrief ID not being recognised, but I will create a separate post for that, to keep things clean.

You are welcome. Glad this part is resolved.
