I can neither do Yes nor No. My sim just freezes. I have to kill it in Taskbar. but I don't care for the logbook. I didn't know people take that feature seriously. Hmmmm..

I pressed "Yes" and will rue the day I did. . .

That's the problem - the warning window was ambiguous as to what the best option was. If anything, it was loaded to encourage you to press YES when it seems to have been the wrong option for most people. What a mess!

Think of it like love letters. Some people treasure them, some don't feel the need to keep them after they've settled down with that person.

The Logbook is a record of your achievements and, if you have a gaming background, achievements are a thing. Then there are the people who are all about immersion, and a real pilot will have a logbook. Makes sense to have one in the sim (though some keep a written one, even for simming).

typo

clicked yes, sim kinda stuck, killed it from the system monitor, fire back the sim and went to the content manager to update these "3" packages and went back to normal. Hope it helps

And your Logbook?

like before. However, note that I have the dev mode on, that is means only these flights that I have flown with dev off only registered there.

Just goes to prove that the solution for one person in this sim isn't necessarily the solution for everybody. Again.

I know, I wasn't having a go at you!😊

It's important to know when a solution doesn't work for someone, just s much as when it does.👍

I posted this on another thread. 

 

OK, I think I fixed it. 

 

1 Go into data and turn it on in MSFS

2. hit save. When you do that the message will pop up  Packages out of date do you want to continue, hit Yes. 

3  Then you will get a screen that says HHit any key to continue. Do not do that, just close MSFS with the X in the upper right corner. 

4 Restart PC, don't shut down and startup, hit Restart in Windows

5. Start MSFS. You will se the checking for updates spinning circle again, everything loads at normal speed, and market is not grayed out anymore. 

6. Go to data, and you will see everything is turned on as normal. 

Hi,

Talk about logbook....... I tried a search in MSFS to locate it and I got a bunch of subsidiary files, but not my personal logbook. I'd like to make a copy in case it is obliterated again. Also, some landings were not logged that were ok (not dev.). So, I'd like to correct it. Where is it? Or is it even available?

Thanks.

I note that a number of you are reporting about 3 patches. I have not had any patches to install. Could it be only the Steam version that is receiving these patches? I have the 'disc' installed version. Incidentally when I closed the program via Task Manager and restarted, the log book had not been affected.

The patches you speak of are updates in the content folder of your profile that needs to be updated. they are scenery updates for airports.

lol seems people never read more than one page even when there is only 3

I went through this and patience was required.  😉  After I hit yes there was a delay before the "Hit any key." screen appeared and after hitting a key there was another delay.  After this the sim loaded and all was good and my log book was intact.
