The SimBrief has KMTI2R and KMTI1G and MSFS2024 has KIMT2R and KIMT1G - is there a typo or those are indeed different approaches? thanks
Hi,
No, it is the same. Looking at the charts, you will see that one is the full name and the other is the ident.
According the ARINC424 specificatiins, you can only use a 6 character ident, and KIMTxx has 7 charachter.
Hope that helps

No, it does not. 1 K / 2 I / 3 M / 4 T / 5 x / 6 x 
Neither (not a typo but not a different arrival). The shortening used by Jeppesen (Navigraph’s upstream provider) are:
- KIMTI1G → KMTI1G
- KIMTI2R → KMTI2R
Those are consistent with the shortenings used in Jeppesen’s charts.
MSFS has a different provider, which (as per your initial post, I am out of town so I cannot check directly in the sim itself) appears to use:
- KIMTI1G → KIMT1G
- KIMTI2R → KIMT2R
While I am not 100% sure, as far as I know, both shortenings are valid and are simply up to the navdata provider.

The starting waypoint is KIMTI; therefore, the full name seems to be KIMTI1G (=7 characters), but that name doesn´t follow the ARINC424 rule because the ident may not exceed 6 characters; therefore, it seems they have coded it as KMTI1G (= 6 characters).

Thank you very much for the reply.
Can i force the KIMT2R in Simbrief flightplan?
Currently it does not recognize it as it only has the KMTI2R
Nope. But you can use KMTI2R on Simbrief and KIMT2R in the sim, there should be no issue (plus, it should be KMTI2R in the sim too if you install Navigraph data for the sim via Navigraph Hub). Is there something specific that is not working for you?

Tim
