Back in the old days, requesting Simbrief data from the ACARS page only filled the route. Now it seems that it fills out everything. Is there any way to request the route only?

Hello,

Unfortunately that is not possible, no. 

 

Have you considered using the CO Route field to load the route? It would be ok, if it would load a locally stored flight plan. It just gets really annoying having to input long routes manually for every single flight.

I have just tried it out again after the last update and the INIT B page is no longer getting filled by the acars request. I assume this was actually a bug and not the intended behavior. It now works again like it used to and is fine for me. If you have an open issue on your side, it can be closed. Sorry for the fuss!
