INIT Page: field 'FLT NBR' not populated by Simbrief, and cannot be entered manually #8650
Comments
Should already be the case. Note that this can occur if you have enabled the FBW API connection and someone else is already using your flight number, it will show FLT NUMBR IN USE. |
Thanks @2hwk for your suggestion, but this isn't the cause of my issue. |
Does this happen for different flight numbers? Even flight numbers that wouldn't exist IRL? How about different origin and dest airports? I will try to reproduce but want to make sure any variables are accounted for. Edit: Testing with CYUL -> CYOW. I can reproduce the behaviour, and I've noticed a few other strange things as well:
|
It's delayed because when you enter a flight number an async request goes off to the FBW API to "logon". That comes back either normal and then the flight number gets populated, or you get the FLT NBR IN USE. I don't know if there's anything to request an immediate redraw of the CDU page when the normal response comes back which would explain why it seems delayed. I don't like the whole way it works personally; that's just not how the flight number field is supposed to work on an A320. |
I've done this about 20 times now with different time delays, systems running, and even flight numbers. I've never seen If this is a matter of the flight number being in use, that's fine, but something in that flow is broken. Edit: Got it, it's the ATSU page that gets the message and doesn't get redrawn. After going back to it, I see In summary, there is two issues here:
|
Ah, the ATSU cannot send messages to the FMGC scratchpad (IRL and on the A32NX), so that might explain part of it. But the real ATSU does not send such a scratchpad message anyway. The flight number just immediately sets in the FMGC, and may or may not get sent to a ground station by the ATSU. |
I've just tested again using flight YPPH - YMML, using real life data for flight number, and the issue persists. But I'm glad you can recreate it - thanks for persisting ;-). |
Hello, had exact same issue with FLT NBR not populating, for every single flight for the last 2-3 weeks. At the same time I was getting a ;Reverse Proxy Error; message as well. Someone mentioned the reverse proxy message was to do with Hoppie. So I went into the EFB, disabled Hoppie, and now the FLT NBR populates again perfectly every time. Worth trying to replicate with Hoppie disabled... I also don't know if it was because my Hoppie logon code had expired as well. I will try tomorrow to renable hoppie but with a new logon code and see if that also works. |
If your Hoppie logon code had expired, then that's why you got the Reverse Proxy Error. |
With the above comment, I tried the following:
EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR

To add on this, can you also prefill the flight number and altitude from a default MSFS plan when working on this??? |

Describe the bug
On the INIT page, the FLT NBR field is neither populated after initializing from a Simbrief plan, nor can it be manually entered.
Note that on the INIT/REVIEW page, the Flt Nbr is correct.
Expected behavior
FLT NBR should be
Steps to reproduce
-> BUG 1: note that the FLT NBR remains empty
-> BUG 2: the value is not accepted, no error message displayed
