Automated Simbrief dispatch prefill from current bid

Post by Robert Simac »

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

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,
Robert Simac

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:
