    Funktioniert bei mir einwandfrei ;-) was cool wäre wenn man noch die CSV oder KML Files von FR24 importieren könnte. Habe ganz viele abgelegt aus alten Flügen...
    ev. gibts da ja in Zukunft eine möglichkeit.
    GUI ist eigentlich gut, bisschen Farbe wäre noch eine Idee für zukünftige Releases...
    Super Idee!

    Hello, thank you so much for "developing" this with our friend chat :)

    Possible in the next update you could pass the flight departure time (EOBT) from FR24 into Simbrief? This would make the tool 110% complete for me (as it is it's about 97%)

    Thanks again for putting this out!!

    Sounds cool will try it. But quick question isn't flight plan retrieval paid option on FR24 ? Are you sure you're not bypassing any ToS ?

    It always say No flight record found when i enter url or the callsign or even the flight number. I tried every flight which is scheduled, Onroute and even landed but still the same for all.

    I have couple of suggestions about this software:
    1. be able to select custom simbrief airframe automatically
    2. dont fill callsign entry if callsign = flightnumber

    FR24 to Simbrief

    FR24 to SimBrief is a lightweight desktop utility that streamlines the creation of realistic flight plans by transferring real-world flight data from FlightRadar24 directly into SimBrief. Simply paste a live or historical FR24 flight link — the app automatically fetches airline, aircraft type, registration, route and departure time, and opens SimBrief with all fields pre-filled. Features an Apple-inspired interface with Dark and Light Mode, an interactive great-circle route map, and a SimBrief Airframe Library. No Python, no dependencies, no manual input required.
