How do I use the custom route on SimBrief?

[FLIGHT2]

Hey guys

on SB there are so many waypoints that do not need to be there, but today I see the custom route option, how do I use it?

While I do not know your answer directly, I highly suggest checking out the SimBrief about page that in-detail explains all the features SimBrief has! I am sure your feature is on here! ;)

This wonderful tutorial by Chris may help you out :)

Introduction to SimBrief

SimBrief (simbrief.com) is a free website that you can sign up for that lets you plan for your flights. It can give you a number of advanced data elements such as altitude, fuel, speed, and top of descent (TOD). I was working on a video for all of this but I think it was better to type it up. First, create a profile on SimBrief. You do need a valid email address for this to happen. Don’t worry once you sign up they do not send you spam mail. Once logged in, go to the dispatch system.

If Chris’s tutorial doesn’t help, this tutorial by @AnomalyWaffle should. 😊

SimBrief.com ---> Infinite Flight tutorial!

Good day everyone! I notice that there are a lot of questions being posed regarding flight planning. I decided to make an easy to understand (hopefully), quick tutorial for everyone’s reference on how to use Simbrief.com (not FPLTOIF.com) to make flight plans. Take a look and let me know what you think-- is there a tutorial related to flight planning or aircraft that you would like to see next? Depending on how well this does, I might make it a regular thing :) Have fun and thank you for wat…

Use skyvector for routing, simbrief for pax load lol

Just to clarify, in my tutorial I do not go into detail about the custom route tab in Simbrief. The other aspects of the tutorial may help, however. For example, when the route is automatically generated for you, you can see alternate generated routes pop up next to the main generated route and pick those if you wish.

I can’t help with the custom route option, but I’d just like to explain what these are.
Those “waypoints” you are referring to are actually airways. These connect to waypoints together. In an FMC/FMS, you can enter these as well as the waypoints. On IF, that is not possible, but obviously SB does not know that. Sometimes they might also say “DCT” meaning direct, or, no airway in particular.

Yep! I was able to figure it out based on your tutorial, so I assume it is somewhat clear. Thank you for the clarification.
