Repro steps:

Create a flight plan in the main map with the MSFS 2024 EFB, click send to avionics, load the flight.. you will see the G3X avionics are not getting the flight plan as they used.

I believe V1 only requires you send the Plan to ATC Raul. That emulates the Load Flight Plan behavior at World Map in FS2020. At least, that’s what I heard.

Send to Avionics only applies to V2 generation FMS.

This was working as I described from release, so, something changed now.. I am getting customers saying they are unable to get any flight plan in the G3X..

No problem. We’re talking in your Discord, so I’ll try to help out there.

Hello. I would also like to expand on this issue that I have noticed similar problems with Aera.
Even being a simple system it has been crippled as of SU1.
It can’t get flight plans from tablet as well and many core functions stoped working:

  • DIrect to is not working anymore as you cant enter ICAO codes or WPT names. It just reads as duplicate at all times.
  • Procedures even limited, cant be loaded anymore.

There are some other issues, but this is related to this problem by the sounds of it.
It would certanly need to be investigated.

That’s an existing instrument that needs to be revamped by Asobo versus a base issue that’s SDK related. Please submit a Zendesk ticket.

Okey, so.. after a lot of testing (thanks to CasualClick for the heads up on my discord server) we were able to make this work as long as:

A) The user is using VFR (point to point) flight plans in the G3X
and
B) The user only uses “Send to ATC” in the main map.

This way the flight plan transfers. In order to support IFR, the user must use one of the liveries with GTN (an external navigator) and then it works. (All as per design, so we good here)

However, the problems starts when the user in the main menu clicks “Send to ATC” and then clicks also “Send to Avionics” this breaks everything, the second action seems to cause a reaction where the flight plan breaks.

This was not the case few months back, I tested this myself because I used TL3000 for a group flight via MS Twich official with seedy and the comunity managers, and at that time, I used the “send to avionics” from the main menu, and I had the flight plan perfeclty in the TL3000 G3X.

So it seems, something has changed recenlty, where if the user only uses “Send to ATC” it works, but if they use the Send to Avionics in the main menu for MSFS 2020 airplanes, stuff falls apart.

This is the bit I consider revieiwing, as a work around I am instructing people to only use “Send to ATC” but as you must understand, this is very confusing for them, causing problems, so any help on this would be apreciated.

Best,
Raul
