Hi Everyone, I’m trying to update my fmc, as I’m having issues with importing SimBrief flight plans.

The status on the fmc is showing out of date data (Screenshot will follow).

As I think this maybe the issue ?

I’ve tried several YouTube videos and Google searches, hoping to resolve this problem,

However to no avail.

Also there’s no settings button that I can find, to enter my “SimBrief Pilot ID” as advised by my Google search.

In the latest [FMS Data Manager](https://navigraph.com/downloads) _Settings_, check

Make sure your X-Plane 11 path is where your X-Plane.exe is located. Navigate to this path using the black folder. Press _Save._

In _Addon Mappings, Remove_ any X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 11 Addons. Press _Save._  
Press _Scan._ X-Plane 11 and any X-Plane 11 addons should be detected. Press _Save._

In _Addon List_, select X-Plane 11 and any X-Plane 11 addons and _Update._

In the aircraft FMS Ident page, you should see the latest AIRAC details:

To load a SimBrief flight plan, depending on the aircraft, the procedure will be something like:

1. In SimBrief, generate flight.

2. Download using **X-Plane 11/12 `.fms`** format, note flight plan name e.g. YMMLYSSY

3. Save to `X-Plane 11\Output\FMS plans\`.

4. In the aircraft FMC, choose FPLN, then enter YMMLYSSY into CO ROUTE

5. Flight plan should be loaded:

Cheers

Remembering that it’s a

Hi Chris,

When you click on the black folder highlighted in red, you will open a box that says _Please select a location for your flight simulator._

You then navigate to the location of your X-Plane.exe file.

For Steam this might be:

```auto
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\X-Plane 11\X-Plane.exe

```

Cheers

Ian
