July 18, 200421 yr In FS2004 is there any way to create logs of sim data?I know to take it to the extreme it would be nice that every flight could have a check ride like report at the end, tell you things like, you entered X airspace without permission, you were below MSA and not cleared by TWR or approach to be there, etc. etc.However, it shouldn't be that hard to log things like, minimum and maxmum airspeed when airborne, actual take off and landing speed, landing G force. Max and min G for the flght. Max and min deck angle and bank and so on. Maybe logging of any master cautions and warnings.Does anything like this exist?TIAPaul8nm SEE EGAC
July 18, 200421 yr FS Flight Keeper is something you should look into, not EXACTLY what you are looking for, but the data recorded is staggering.
July 18, 200421 yr What you want is called a flight critique. And FS maintenance offered it on FS2002. However, people did not appreciate it's usefulness so development ended. Apparently people like much more simpler things such a freeware aircrafts and scenery.
July 18, 200421 yr Its evident in MSFS that people who want to jump in and go and don't care for an accurate sim are cattered from more by the default installation by MS.Thank god, freeware, shareware and even payware people are around to push the sim to it's limits in an aim to get a good accurate sim, where possible.I am of the belief that when Flight Gear matures in the coming years, and more freeware developers realise that an "Open source" flight sim means they "can" change the core code if it's wrong, or add to it if it's lacking.Until that time we are stuck with Microshaft software. Shame. What are the alternatives? Fly(II) is more or less dead. IMHO Fly! was better in a lot of ways to FS2004. I don't suspose there is such a sim with as much support as MSFS. So I'll shut up.
July 19, 200421 yr Well, the lack of options is something, yes... But X plane has come a long way, you might be interested in looking.MS will be updated in FS2006/FS10, I'm sure, not as much as we would like though.I think that Wear and Tear, flight critique should be part of the sim already.Up until then... we have to stick with what we have now, but if you compare FS9 with FS2000 you can tell that a this is a complete differen simulation, I expect things will just get better....
