Wrong position for Simbrief button in G3000/5000 plugin

Avionics Plugins

What I expected to happen.

The Simbrief button should be inside an inner menu, likely inside Utils menu

What actually happened

At the moment it’s shown on the bottom row of the GTC_2 home page, which isn’t realistic. I developed a G3000/5000 ACARS plugin and I’d like to move the ATC Datalink button to its proper position, but with your plugin installed the bottom row is already full and the layout overflows.

Hi Alessandro,

We have many demands and this is but one of them.

You might like to give us a link to your plugin and we can investigate when time permits.

Cheers

Hello! We finally had time to look at this, and the result is already published.

You can now disable the SimBrief button from your plugin, instead linking to the same page yourself from within your ATC Datalink addon!

Here’s what you need to do:

  1. Update the path to your plugin in the XML file containing your plugin targets:

    <Plugins>
  <Plugin target="WTG3000_GTC">
    coui://html_ui/path/to/plugin?supports-fplrequest=true
  </Plugin>
<Plugins>

    This will hide the SimBrief button from the GTC MFD homepage.

  2. Manually link to the import page from inside your integration. The ViewKey you need to use is SimBrief.

That’s it! Let us know if you find any issues.

Kind Regards,
Malte
