At our 'Pilot Data' page (for example, https://aavirtual.com/pages.php?name=Pi ... ot_id=1797), under the 'Current Bid' chapter...
It may be beneficial to place the link to automated Simbrief dispatch, containing the flight detail, next to each non-completed flight...
For example flight: AAL6233 KASE-KAUS
The simbrief link next to it would point to: https://dispatch.simbrief.com/options/c ... &dest=kaus
Above will open (new tab/window?) and pre-fill new simbrief flight, saving us (simbrief users) couple of keystrokes...
Just an idea, nice to have, absolutely not urgent.
Thanks
Robert

Re: Automated Simbrief dispatch prefill from current bid
Robert,Thanks for the posting.
I use and have for many years now, SimBrief. In fact it is the "only way to fly", bar none.
I tried your link and it correctly filled in the flight number, depart and arrive airport.
As now I have to have the flight number and airports written down on a note to refer to for the information.
Is the pre-fill a link to/by simbrief? More information is needed by myself please.
Thanks,

Re: Automated Simbrief dispatch prefill from current bid
Yes, it looks like the simbrief url and arguments are "official" way to assist with pre-filling the plan...
There are many more arguments to this url, I used only the ones we have in our bid...
This is the simbrief document:

Re: Automated Simbrief dispatch prefill from current bid
I have developed an rudimentary Chrome Extension capable of updating our Pilot Data page and adding the SimBrief prefill links into this page, as it is loaded, so the Current Bid looks something like this, the word "PREFILL" being a valid link to SimBrief
Current Bid:
COMPLETED KDFW-KASE
COMPLETED KASE-KAUS
COMPLETED KAUS-KBNA
COMPLETED KBNA-KSLC
SKW6968 KSLC-KORD PREFILL
AAL6061 KORD-KSDF PREFILL
AAL4786 KSDF-KBOS PREFILL
AAL4020 KBOS-KORD PREFILL
AAL3696 KORD-KCOU PREFILL
AAL3796 KCOU-KDFW PREFILL
The extension itself is a simple javascript and json file, within a zipped directory, attached below. It is designed to run on nothing but the AAV pilot data page, so it should not affect anything else on your browser. Do feel free to inspect the script, it has 30 or so code lines.
After downloading the aav_extension.zip and unpacking it locally, the installation of local chrome extensions is explained here:
https://developer.chrome.com/docs/exten ... d-unpacked
After installing the extension, everything should just 'work', I mean, when accessing or reloading the Pilot Data page, non completed flights should have the PREFILL links next to it...
Do let me know if any issues, this is my first attempt on writing any browser extensions...

Re: Automated Simbrief dispatch prefill from current bid
I have further updated the AAV "Extension" with something I wanted to do for quite a long time...
At Timetable Search page, I am now able to select the listed flights, and prepare the entire FREQ flight list without leaving the page, 'walking' the legs from the selected flight destination serving as the next flight departure, and so on.
Once done with 10 flights, these are automagically pre-filled into Submit FREQ page, to be submitted as usual.
