Programming flights in the MCDU of the ATR using Simbrief, and the EFB in Flight Simulator 2024

Ciao and thank you for the excellent video. I have a small but annoying problem with the ATR72-600 for MSFS2024: I create the flight plan with Simbrief and load it from the ATR EFB, then add the takeoff and landing runways, SIDs, STARs, and the planned RNAV or ILS approaches, eliminating any discontinuities. If I scroll through the plan, some waypoints have latitude and longitude values ​​set to zero, completely altering the route, creating legs of over 1,000 miles. I checked the Simbrief file generated in the ATR folder, and it contains the exact coordinates for the offending points. These zero values ​​persist even if I add the same waypoints manually, as if the ATR NAVDATA had incorrect information. This doesn't happen with other aircraft. I have a regular Navigraph subscription, and the Airacs are up to date. Sorry for the length, but I was wondering if you've checked this as well. I'd appreciate it if you could confirm how to update the ATR navdata, even though it looks like it's from MSFS2024. The ATR CDU reports MSFSNAVDB CURRENT. Thanks

Can you look at the RHD 767

Hi Jonathan, a great video, thanks. I bought this one at the weekend, managed a flight, programming the MCDU from scratch, option one in the video. I didn't know there was a second page to the EFB Options page, which might explain why my Simbrief ID wouldn't work. There doesn't seem to be an official manual for the ATR, which is a bit weird, and sadly lacking. One method you didn't mention for a flight plan, was setting up the flight plan in the sim EFB then there is an option in the "Send" tab, to send the flight plan to the Avionics, ATC, etc. Wondered if you had tried this one? Great video all the same. Regards Dave.

Fantastic video. Thank you for making this.

Very informative thank you. Always li!e your videos.

JB pls checkout the 2024 Version of the DC6 😊

Thanks for this

Hi! Your videos have been a big help to me trying to learn how to operate different aircraft. Could I ask if you could do a flight in the Headwind A330-900neo if you get the time please? thanks 🙏

I’m curious. In your last example which loaded incomplete: once you loaded the plan from the flight planner website into the EFB, should you have used the “send to avionics” function next? Otherwise, great video as always, Jon.

Yes I think we all need to sometimes have a little pause, take a step back and just appreciate the positives of MSFS2024, the fact that we can go anywhere in the world, that SUs and World Updates are FREE, it's constantly evolving, planes like this one cost 6 coffees, Jonathans AND real world pilots take the time to show us procedures, tips and tricks, we get access to Betas, ... and VR (when setup correctly) is still for me a mind blowing experience. As per other comments ..... if you aren't happy then you're probably doing it wrong.

This is helpful thanks for taking the time to put it together and posting much appreciated.

I don't use simbrief, but I can live with the built in flight planner but, this just shows that people out there are complaining because they don't know what they are doing.

I had wanted this plane for a long time and am actually quite delighted to have it, especially now with its recent update. Thank you so much for your very informative videos about it lately, Jonathan. Superb stuff as always.

Thank you so much for this explanation.
