[SOLVED] FPL via datalink. Sometimes it works, sometimes not

Good evening. 
I have some trouble with the FPL recall function. 
My Simbrief ID is entered in thje user settings.
But there are a few questions I have about the "out of jet pocedures".
1) I can just use my browser and set up the flight, without the sim runnung, or do I have to use th flight planning room?
2) Must the page shown in the screenshot be open, Guess not, but one time it worked this was the case, on the return trip the browser was closed, it did not work. 
3) fin number vs dep/ARR. 
If I have multiple flights starting from one Airport I have to use DEP/ARR, because I always use the same fin number (650), right? 

I have encountered these scenarios: 
1) Sucsessful FPL download
2) FPL download rejected ( Pilot ID not changed or deleted from the settings
3) Request pending disapears, no other MSG, FPL not loaded 

Thank you.

1) You can use the browser, the briefing room is not neccesary.

2) No, but you must have "dispatched" like you have there, no good if it's left in Edit mode on SimBrief.

3) Either works.

If you have a datalink failure, it's worth checking datalink coverage in the Stufy menu (RSS> VHF, Inmarsat, Iridium).

No, not necessary for the IRS to be aligned, it's just a radio link.

If you find yourself somewhere with no VHF datalink, you will need the GPS system to be working in order to utilise the Inmarsat datalink, as the antenna inside the vertical stab/tail has to actually steer to track the satellites, but this is a bit of a fringe case. (And yes, it's simulated too!)

Ok. In that case I was prob just to quick when I just wanted to test if it works. Guess the antenna had not picked up the satellite yet.
I am on my wa to Insbruck right now. Following the checklist/gave the antenna time and everything works fine :-)
