Hi,

 

recently I had some problems with FS9's logbook.

I ran FS9 without any compatibility modes until now, but changed to Windows 7 compatibility mode (under Win7) to secure proper functioning of one of my favourite planes (see thread http://forum.avsim.net/topic/428671-dreamfleet-727-and-windows-7/)

 

As result, FS9 will not close by clicking the little cross in the upper right corner but has to be closed via the menue. If this is done, FS9 crashs as soon as on program exit the logbook prompt would appear.

If I set the parameter LOG_TIME=0 in the fs9.cfg, FS9 behaves absolute normal at exit

 

I searched the forum and found some entries with this problem, but none of them leading to a solution for me as most assume a corrupted logfile. I have definitely no corrupted log file, as without Windows 7 compatibility mode the logbook worked as expected. I run FS9 as administrator with UAC off. FS9 is installed into a separate partition; however, the logbook was written in the predestinated system folder containing flightplans and saved flights.

 

Is there any way to prevent this behavior? I don't want to abandon Win7 compatibility mode again.

 

As alternative, is there any Logbook application which automatically logs my flight time and which is neither web-based nor makes changes to my OS (as some elder applications available in the file library do)?

 

I know that Flight Sim Commander has a logbook function but I've seen that it works only sporadically.

 

Thanks for your suggestions

and best regards

Harald

 

 

 

 

 

 

I use FS Flight Keeper. I have been happy with the product.

 

The only time I have had problems with the FS9 log book is with the Wilco Airbuses. The sim will crash out instead of ending properly. That is the reason I purchased FSFK.

Due to other problems I left Win7 compatibility mode and can use the integrated logbook again.

 

Nevertheless thanks for your recommendation!

 

Harald
