Does anyone know how to disable that silly logbook screen that always automatically pops up after you shut everything in the plane off? It plays some ridiculous tune and is too much like an arcade game - it takes me out of the simulation after an otherwise ultra realistic flight experience.

See below for an example of what I mean:

I have never seen that,is it just for challenges or training

it logs every flight AFAIK. You just do not SEE it unless you shut the aircraft down at the end of your flight.

Pretty sure it is turned off while in developer mode 😄  not a very practical way to disable it though

otherwise no idea how to stop it popping up

I’ve never seen that!

You can mute the music, not sure about switching it off completely. 

I don't mind it. Just hope the sim continues to count my flight time accurately.

This is bugged - I used to get that before last patch.  Never see it now and my logbook never updates correctly so I think they are both linked

I see it and it's bloody irritating! Not only that, if you click 'Continue' you continue without your flight plan. In the plane I was flying (TBM) there's no way I could find that could get it back.

Grr and double Grr.

nvm

Yes it's bloody irritating as it pops up before I shut down everything to cold and dark.

I never saw it until the last patch (1.9.3) and wondered what people were talking about when they mentioned being pulled out of the cockpit - and I always do a complete shutdown after taxiing to parking.  Then I started getting it when I turned the Avionics master off like I always did before.  So I changed my shutdown procedure and also get it when turning off the Master switch.  It is indeed very irritating since it ignores the common standard of user confirmation, in this case prompting the user if they want to end the flight.  I think it was done by the same team member that did the flight planner part of the GUI.

I thought I'd get flak on here for complaining about such a seemingly minor thing, but am pleasantly surprised that other people are a little annoyed by it too. I dont like the "arcade game" style things like that feature, and immediately disabled the tooltips or what-cha-ma-call-its, like the bubbles pointing out the names of airports. Microsoft has bigger fish to fry, but hopefully they eventually provide an option to disable being pulled out of the cockpit after shutting down the aircraft's systems.

Yes! Me, too. It's not a minor thing. The correct way to shut off an engine is by pulling the mixture to idle cutoff and wait for the engine to stop. THEN you turn off the master switch and the magnetos. In the sim when I pull the mixture out, before the engine stops the sim jumps to the Logbook page. *#&@#!. I can click "continue" and it will go back to the aircraft and finish shutting down. It ain't supposed to do that!  Oddly, it doesn't always. Occasionally it will actually shut down properly. I can't determine what is different about those times.

I'm told if you bind a key to Avionics Master, and make sure to press said binded key sometime before shutting down, the pop-up will not occur.

It's absolutely an annoying feature because if you're performing a fuel stop or a multiple leg journey, it also erases your flight plan.

Just hit continue

this is correct, I have utilized this on every flight over the last few months, no issues.
