Enter your route, flight number, and the actual aircraft you're flying — then plan it in SimBrief, pre-filled with your registration and fin number, ready to generate.
Important: once SimBrief's form opens, don't change the aircraft type selector there — doing so resets your registration, fin, and SELCAL back to a generic default. If you need a different aircraft, come back here and select it from the dropdown below instead.
Once you've generated and saved your OFP in SimBrief, enter your Pilot ID to pull the full briefing up right here — weather, NOTAMs, fuel, and performance.
SimBrief — Standalone Dispatcher
Prefer to work directly in SimBrief? Open the full dispatcher there — everything you generate can still be pulled up above using your Pilot ID.
Open SimBrief ↗SmartCARS — File Your Flight
Once you're ready to fly, file your Compass flight through the SmartCARS crew centre. Your flight hours are logged automatically on completion.
Open SmartCARS ↗SimBrief is part of the Navigraph ecosystem. A Navigraph subscription adds current AIRAC cycle data to SimBrief for accurate routing and procedures, and gives you access to worldwide IFR charts and approach plates — the same data used by real-world airlines.
A Navigraph subscription is not required to use SimBrief, but it is strongly recommended for serious VATSIM flying. Current navdata means your FMC database, SimBrief routing, and approach plates all use the same AIRAC cycle — which matters when flying procedures on VATSIM with ATC online.
