Simfest - not sending data to Vatsim

[Aleks]

Gary,

Seems Simfest is having now issues with prefiling the flightplan on Vatsim. It gives blank field, even though the URL address contains data.

When I tried directly via Simbrief it populated the data correctly when prefiling the flightplan.

Also, the issue with Simfest sending MAX payload remains when using auto for Cargo in the Simfest.

Thank you in advance

Similar issues here... no hurry, I filed from Simbrief and will do so for now.

When possible, do please look at the AUTO ZFW issue and TO computation for Freighters. Still MAX and the derate seems high. Will compare to my OPT and get back here.

Thanks for all you do, for all of us!

Well spotted - It would appear someone at VATSIM did what they do best and randomly changed something that's worked well for a decade.

I have updated the planning portal to work with the prefile link provided by Simbrief which has the benefits of much more being filled in correctly.

I tested Cargo and it seems to be working now.

Thank you, Gary.

Vatsime prefile works now.

Still same issue with max ZFW (288)/payload being sent to Simbrief.
Try an short route to reproduce, e.g. LOWW-EDDM with cargo 747.

Gary-

Just an update mate- tried this evening and SimBrief builds including Maps but then at 100% it sticks- nada.  I had 12T fuel remaining set, but changing to AUTO was the same.  Strangely, SimBrief has all 4 of may attempts... just didn't make it back to Simfest.

Also, I too have the Max ZFW Cargo issue FWIW.
