Does this program allow you to fix corrupted log books or is this just an editor?If not, is it possible to just delete the log file(s) and let FS X create a new one (obviously losing the data it contained)?

What is the point of the FS logbook? I didn't even know it had one- I remember one years and years ago, but the only one I'm concerned about it my real one. Why not get a real (they are cheap) and fill out for real- It's much more satisfying to flip through your accomplishments then.

You can use FSX Logbook Recovery v1.1 to analyze your logbook and recover a corrupt logbook.After using the recovery tool (ONLY AFTER RECOVERING THE CORRUPT LOGBOOK) you can then use Log Book Manager to edit any entries in your logbook.As always make backups of your orginals prior to any editing just in case.I also routinely use the Logbook Recovery tool to analyze my logbook and regularly make backups of my logbook and rewards files.

>Thank you Gypsy Baron! :-)>>You just saved me from having to reinstall FSX (again).I simply don't understand this fetish many folks seem to have about reinstalling FS (any version).I installed FS2002 nearly eight years ago, once.I installed FS2004 nearly six years ago, once.I installed FSX nearly a year ago, once.Folks, 99 times out of 100, reinstalling any FS version will not solve your problem(s)......because none of the multiple .cfg files are ever touched, which is where most problems occur.I'm constantly tinkering with scenery, aircraft, et cetera, but I am careful to maintain daily backups of the multiple .cfg files... ;)

I have noticed that if you start a flight today and then finish it 2 weeks from now, it will have today's date entered. So I think the mission have an old date tagged to them.

O5 starts at the very first byte after your last aircraft entry. Count the bytes from and including 05 to the last character in the aircraft type. Typical size is 61 bytes for most of the default
