CPNY- F-PLAN REQUEST grayed out ?

[txnoodles]

 My CPNY F-PLAN REQUEST is grayed out. I can't click on the menu. What does it depend on? Even with the engines off the menu is unavailable.

 

Thanks

should be there if engines are off. did you link your simbrief ID in the EFB? and have a valid flightplan filed?

Yes to both.

read somewhere you should also (first?) import the fp in the EFB. No idea whether that does the trick. just made a longer flight EGLL-KBOS without any problems...

oh, just to rule that out. did you use the "official" simbrief profile for the 350? and also set the units to be the same, both EFB and simbrief must be either LBS or KG, mismatch did not let me load a fp earlier (in the EFB) though it gave me an error message in the EFB

Create a flight plan in SimBrief, download the flight plan iniBuilds Flightplan (A350), copy the fp, go to your WASM folder > work > flightplans > paste the flight plan there.

THEN go to your INIT PAGE and enter the DEPARTURE and ARRIVAL airport. Your flight plan should now load and can be inserted

LOL, man that's the hard way of doing things 😁 Just use the OIS, flight ops, and push the SimBrief button there...

I mixed things up 😁 I think my solution there is the way to go if you start directly at the runway. The button then is also greyed out. But now that you say, OIS would be the better solution in both cases
