Simbrief integration is missing.

You need to point the Simbrief downloader to include the RJ (Just Flight 146).
On my system, the folder is located at: .....\LocalState\packages\justflight-aircraft-rj\work\JustFlight\FlightPlans

As shown in the manual above the route is supposed to be imported directly from Simbrief's website and does not require any file management.

Correct! However, Simbrief requires the Simbrief Downloader App to be installed and running...
Once installed, the Simbrief Downloader firstly has to be told where to place the routes. This is done within the Simbrief Downloader's Options... (Right click on the icon in the system tray...)
Once the correct locations are properly set within the Simbrief Downloader, it will load the routes to the aircraft.
There's also an option (under settings) to automatically save/overwrite said routes...

@RobSys That's incorrect, simbreif doesn't require their downloader if the aircraft support direct import from Simbreif website. It's working correctly in my plane I can see the "Request" button and it's importing normally.

Yes, one loads the OFP into the EFB using one's Simbrief Pilot ID number but I've not seen a "Request" button in the RJ's FMS. (It is present in the PMDG 777 aircraft but I don't know if that loads the OFP direct into the FMS without the downloader... I start the downloader with Windows...)
If one wishes to import the Simbrief route direct into the FMS on the RJ, it must be in the .RTE format. This can be downloaded from the download tab in Simbrief however it must then be manually moved to the proper folder. The Simbrief Downloader app automates this process.

I imported a flight plan into the FMS last night and definitely did not use the Downloader. Since v1.4 you can definitely import directly from Simbrief… I did import it into the EFB first, I don’t know if that is necessary though…. I’ll try that later if I get time. I could never get the FMS to import when I tried using Simbrief Downloader and so always ended up entering them manually!

You are correct!
I wasn't aware of that option as I always had the Simbrief Loader app running in the background...
I have just loaded a flight plan using the Simbrief import to the FMS. After entering my ID, it worked flawlessly.
In the case of the original post, TJ Turner, his solution should be to either uninstall the RJ and then re-install it. If that doesn't resolve his issue, he should try the Simbrief Downloader app...
