I thought the log was fixed with this update, yet three of four end-to-end flights failed to be logged gor me today. Anyone else seeing this?

No, my proper end-to-end flights have been all logged since the last update. However, the departure is still often marked 0.

Kind regards, Michael

Hit and miss with log, but my hours count in profile is stuck.

Quick questions have you been flying with developer mode on ? Someone mentioned in the forums that it doesn't log with it on. Additionally, do you shut either your battery/engines/avionics (the trigger differs depending on AC) off after landing and parking to trigger the end of flight menu options? I have seen 1 or two niggles with the logbook (Vicinity arrivals) but i can usually chalk that down to landing and not taxing to parking and shutting down. I would venture to say pretty much every flight is being logged on my end but my typical flight is IFR cold and dark gate to gate. However, the second to last flight was completely vfr from runway to gate and that got logged properly too.

Hopefully you get this resolved

Cheers

It’s not working properly. Sometimes it logs logs a flight flawlessly, other times it loses either the take off or landing, other times it pretty much loses the entire flight. The ‘in the vicinity of” thing has gotten better it seems.

No developer mode for me. Where it comes badly unstuck is when you try to do multi sector flights and shut the aircraft down after each sector. Also, on random flights you get ejected from the cockpit while shutting down. If you then chose to rather go back to the cockpit rather than exiting the flight, the logbook can have a meltdown of epic proportions and lose the entire flight.

So no, the logbook is dysfunctional and been so since day 1, continues to be so after the horrific Patch 7.

Just to be clear

The intent of my post is not to discount your experience. It was to explain my procedures and the way i use the sim which could be a factor as to why it seems to be working for me and compare notes. Im sorry its not working for you. Hope its resolved soon. I re reviewed my logbook and accounted for all my flights these last few days. All my flights are there and the hours are adding up.

Again, hopefully you or Asobo can find a solution

Cheers

One time, after the latest patch, I shut the engine down, the log book entry appeared - correctly - and I then continued to shut down. On checking the log book, nothing for the flight but one that appears to be for the time I was completing to C& D.

Since then I have not continued after shutting down the engine and all the log book entries have been correct.

This must be it!  Thanks!

(time to be less pre-occupied with chasing performance, no more FPS view)

I haven't found any correlation between complete aircraft shutdown, being popped out of the sim and the flight getting logged.

Although I think there may still be a small bug or two to deal with I find the log book to be working far better now. About 90% of my flight get logged.

Heads up that having developer mode on might cause other issues which might seem as wrong.  

Turned off dev mode and finally landing challenges which I've completed many times before aren't labeled as 'new' anymore.

When I click Continue after engine shutdown, so I can deploy the ramp, instead of just ending, the log book will show the flight with destination as both origin and destination and no takeoffs or landing with no credit for the flight. Just happened to me on on 2 flights in a row including a 7 hr transcontinental flight. Grrrrr...

Another frustrating loss of flight logging. I must have passed 300 hrs flight time a while back, but it was definitely going to be official as I came in to land at Gibraltar after a near 5 hour flight. However, after a smooth landing, I was only credited with a 0s flight from Gibraltar to Gibraltar.🤬 That often happens if the aircraft bounces on landing, with the bounce counting as take-off and the second touchdown as the end of flight, but there was no perceptible bounce this time. I wouldn't mind the 'ghost flights' as long as the proper flight was recorded. I wonder just how many hours I have actually logged, compared to what the sim says I've completed?🙄

Currently making the return journey, so 🤞 it works this time...
