Thank you. I did finally find the new flighs plan folder location and got SimBrief to work in the aircrafts FMS. I am working with the developer of Little NavMap on creating an export option in Little NavMap for this aircraft. Something to use instead of SimBrief. Thank you again.

Thank you for the information. I did find the new flight plan folder which inibuilds changed from the initial release. The new folder being C:\Users\jmyprofile\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\microsoft-aircraft-a310-300\work\flightplans. I am trying not to use SimBrief as I use Little NavMap for my flight planning saving flight plans to vairous aircraft and simulators using it's export utility. I did finally get the FMS to connect to SimBrief in the aircraft and am able to load flight plans that way. Just wanting an option other than SimBrief.

Is there any way to export a flight plan for this aircraft from simbrief and then open it with the FMS? Before I exported flightplans using the iniBuilds Flight Plan option and saved the flight plans in the M:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\MicrosoftFlightSimulator\Packages\Official\Steam\microsoft-aircraft-a310-300\Data\FMS plans folder. I was then able to open those flight plans in the FMS but that doesn't work now.

I just discovered after going into ACARS and selecting SIMBRIEF that it will load flight plans saved in SimBrief. But it is not loading flight plans exported to A310 FMS plans folder. So where do I export flight plans to for this aircraft and do I still use the IniBuilds Flightplan export option?

An update was installed today for the A310. After that update I can no longer get flight plans exported from SimBrief to work with the aircraft. Also the SimBrief export feature disappeared from the Inimanager. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the aircraft. I am using the IniBuilds Flightplan export to FMS option and selecting the MicrosoftFlightSimulator\Packages\Official\Steam\microsoft-aircraft-a310-300\Data\FMS plans folder.

I want to thank you for your assistance. After finding some online tutorials I am working everything out and know that I can use Simbrief to creat flight pland and import them or, once an update is done, use Little Navmap for flight planning. Thank you again, I'm off to do some flying.

I believe the reason they are saying we need to keep navigraph data up to date is because they are supposing that all of us will use simbrief to create and load flight plans and simbrief, run by navigraph, will always have the latest airac cycle. I personally don't use simbrief and don't like being forced to use it. I emailed the developer of Little Navmap about the issue I am having and sent him at attachment of one of the simbrief flight plans I created. He sent me two test files which I was able to save to the FMS plans folder and both worked. Unfortunately this aircraft does not allow me to see the flight plans in the FMS plans folder and even if there are multiple plans for the same airports (KDENKJAC, KDENKJAC1, KDENKJAC2 for example) the FMS only sees the first one listed so you can't have multiple flight plans as in the example. Hopefully Little Navmap will be updated shortly and I will be able to create flight plans using that and save them to the FMS plans folder.

I just tried entering KDEN/KJAC into FROM/TO and it brought up the flight plan. I selected insert and it inserted the flight plan. So that seems to be working now. Thank you for suggesting that. Guess I was afraid it would crash the simulator. I have sent an email to the developer of Little Navmap, which I use for my flight plans including an attachment of the flight plan exported from Simbrief. Hopefully he can update Little Navmap so it exports in that format as the .fpl format which Little Navmap currently exports is not the same as what Simbrief exports.

I haven't tried since reinstalling the aircraft. Before entering that into FROM/TO crashed the sim to desktop as I had mentioned above.

I did verify that the inimanager exported to the FMS plans folder by removing everything from that folder, then downloading from Simbrief using the inimanager and then selecting the export option. The flight plan KDENKJAC.fpl then appeared in the FMS plans folder.

I was able, using inimanager v2 to download a flight plan created in Simbrief and export it to the FMS plans folder. Unfortunately it would not load via CO RTE in the FMS.

I uninstalled the aircraft, both installs, restarted the simulator and then reinstalled the aircraft again. This time I was able to load a flight plan from simbrief so that is working now for me, but I still can't get a flight plan to load using CO RTE.

I tried saving the .fpl flight plans to that folder and they still don't load. I saved your example flight plan to that folder and it doesn't load. What can I be doing wrong? Or is this broken for some reason.

I tried exporting flight plans in .fpl format to the Steam location you indicated and tried entering the flight plan in co rte but nothing loads.

Thank you for that information. Is there a specific format for the flight plans, i.e. a specific extension .fpl .pln etc?
