Before your first flight, please make sure to read our Recommended Settings guide.
Navigraph + SimBrief Integration
The authentication process for Navigraph services (SimBrief included) has changed. Please see the following page for more information:
Navigraph Airframe
The team at Navigraph have been kind enough to include our airframe as a selectable option on SimBrief. You no longer have to save our custom airframe to your account to use it. If we decide to make any changes, it will be automatically updated in their system.
Important User Experience Changes
Please note the following changes.
SimBridge is now required to use the following features:
- Terrain on ND
- MCDU Remote Display
- External Printer
- Local Files feature
- Company Routes
- Custom Flight Management System.
- See the Special Notes Section on our custom FMS page for more details.
- Weather radar is inoperable as we wait for Asobo implementations.
- MSFS Built-in ATC and VFR maps are partially supported. Guides Here
- Discontinuities may now appear in your flight plan — they are a feature and not a bug.
- Throttle calibration is mandatory.
Downloads available through our installer.
