Hello!

How can I fill "*Fuel Endurance (HHMM)"-field on the page "File a flight plan" using plain-text-code of "Import ICAO FPL"?

The form do not contain any strings or tags for that.

Thanks!

Flight plan item 19 elements (such as fuel endurance) are not part of a FPL message

SimBrief however is able to send it as I've never had to fill that in when using their pre-file feature.

In the URL that's sent to the prefile system, the following is in the URL:

&fuel_time=xxxx

...where xxx is the 4 figure endurance value.  Unfortunately, as it's not included in the FPL message, the only way you can do this is either:

- have your scripts updated to send directly to the flight plan prefile or
- speak to your VA to do this.

Would adding -E/xxxx be recognized by the VATSIM prefile site?

What are you using to get the ICAO FPL? 

If PFPX you may need to add it to the OFP output file.

If simbrief, it will auto fill out via a direct link to the prefile page.
