https://fpltoif.com/simbrief is a good website which is simpler to use and uses Simbrief to create a flightplan and then converts it to a flightplan which is able to be used in Infinite Flight.

but can i manually do sid and stars or i download the flight plan and then upload or just copy and past?

The website should automatically give the flight plan a SID and STAR so when you copy and paste the flight plan, the waypoints from the SID and STAR are there already. You can change the SID and STAR if you want to.

awesome. do i copy and paste it it or download the fp

11

Copy and pasting should be fine.

12

flightaware.com is a good one. only works for some regions though!

13

if i download the flight plan what do i use there is multiple downloads

14

and when i paste it half of the flight plan doesn’t load in

With Simbrief, I prefer to manually enter it.

You need to add the SID and STAR yourself. It will give you one but you have to enter it manually.

For the routing, you only need to enter in VORs (which will be represented by three letters (e.g. CPT)), waypoints (five letters (e.g. LELNA)), and NDBs (two letters, e.g. QP)). Anything, like airways (e.g. UN610), or directs (i.e. DCT), will not be recognised by IF.

For example:

EGJJ/26 ORIST1C ORIST Y110 VEXEN L980 KATHY UP83 SAM Q41 SILVA UM605 DTY UY250 AKUPA T420 ELVOS ELVOS1M EGCC/23R

Becomes…
VEXEN KATHY SAM SILVA DTY AKUPA

As I’m studying to become a flight dispatcher, I use both Navigraph and Skyvector to plan out best routes keeping restricted airspace’s and weather in mind

17

Btw there’s a high chance of mis-calculation of waypoint due to simbrief limitations.

So M17 is listed as an WP by simbrief but are listed as an airport instead.

18

How do you paste it?
i copied it but didn’t know how to paste

19

I often use FR24 and try and match the waypoints/SIDS and STARS as close as possible.
