Hi Guy,

This is likely an issue on your machine. If it has been working for you, please check for any changes on your system, such as Windows updates, antivirus updates, and changes to your ISP connection.

Try connecting to the internet via a hotspot on your mobile phone.

Cheers

Ian

I was using the pmdg 737 charts were working I was using the EFB for the airport plates and it was fine. Couple of weeks ago I bought the ifly 737 Max. The charts were not working in the EFB its like it was not accepting my sim brief pilot Id. So I uninstall simlink via add/remove program and reinstall did not work . Finally yesterday i decided to uninstall everything from navigraph and reinstall. Now when I go to navigraph web site the system recognize who I am (my iniatials are red in upper right corner) I download everything and now in the main page it is looking searching and nothing happens. I even lost access to the charts  
Thanks for helping me

Hi there,

Can you clarify what you mean about nothing happens?

Firstly, verify you are logging into the correct account.

- Log into the Navigraph website and click your profile on the top right. From there click on “my subscription” on the left hand panel. That will show you the current subscription you are on.

Secondly, once you verify you are logged into the correct account and your subscription is active,

- Click “downloads” on the top panel and select “launch” for the cloud version.

Let us know if you have any success here.

Thanks,

I suggest you try a complete Simlink install :

- See [FAQ - Simlink Install and Systray](https://forum.navigraph.com/t/faq-simlink-install-and-systray/58)

- Please use specifically _Windows Programs and Features_ to uninstall Simlink:

- 

- If they exist delete directories  
c:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Navigraph\Simlink and  
c:\Program Files\Navigraph\Simlink.

- Then download and install latest [Simlink](https://navigraph.com/account/downloads/simlink).

- Restart computer

Cheers  
Ian

We are looking into this, but you may want to try changing your default browser as a test to see if you receive the sign-in details.

Hello @GUYROBI,

Thank you for providing the log files. However, they do not contain sufficient details about the issue you’re currently experiencing. Please review the following points to help resolve the problem:

1. When you click the “Sign In” button in the Simlink application, does it open the web browser for login? If it does not open, please check your operating system settings to ensure that the default browser is set correctly.

2. If you are using a VPN or proxy settings, please disable them and try again.

3. Check your network settings or any antivirus software that might be blocking the Simlink application from connecting to the Navigraph server.

4. If you continue to face issues, please try restarting your network router and checking the connection again.

Please let us know if you still encounter the problem.

Thank you!

**Best Regards,**  
**Vishal Ahir**  
**Navigraph**

Good morning I found after many hours of search and chat that the ifly 737 max when we have to put the simbrief pilot id that their system need 6 digits id number. My id contains only 5 numbers. Is there any way to have a new id number ?  
Thanks

This is incorrect. I was able to do a flight plan request using a 5-digit ID in the latest iFly 737 MAX for MSFS 2020 just moments ago.

In the ACARS section on the iFly EFB, once you type the 5 digits of your Simbrief ID using the EFB keyboard, you can click outside the keyboard area to hide the keyboard; then you must click on the SET button in the bottom left corner to save the ID you just entered.

After that, you should be able to use FLT PLAN REQUEST on the RTE 1 page on the FMC. The aircraft did open a browser window and request authorization to use my Navigraph account; once I approved it, I was good to go.

Regards,

Tim

Hi Guy,

I have split your posts into a new thread, but I am confused. Is your issue with Simlink or SimBrief? They are quite different programs. Are your issues resolved?

If not, please let us know precisely what is not working.

Cheers

Ian
