Airport History

Featured Replies

Hello,

Ever since I've been using MSFS 2020 and 2024, the airport history has never updated. It always shows the same three airports. I've searched the web and there is not much information on this subject. I've tried a couple of solutions but none of them have solved the problem.

Does anyone else have this problem and found a solution?

 

Thanks

Bob Mata

When you have dev mode enabled, this history is disabled

But nobody cares:

I think it was the same when I had dev mode disabled but I'll check.
I keep dev mode active so that I can remove the chocks and covers without having to do the walkaround.

There is now a keystroke/combination to do that without being in dev mode.

Thanks for the keybind tip.

Disabled developer mode but still no history.

Not only when using the dev mode. I voted it, even though 4 votes in one year won't be of any use.

Curiously, the Outlook365 search box has the same issue. It doesn't propose the last searches, but it got fixated with 3 searches I did months ago.

This was a known problem with SU2 and earlier but for me its working with SU3 installed.

As far as I can see this function only works/records having flown from an airport. For example I conducted a flight at the weekend from LGAV to HECA and now LGAV is showing in my list of visited airports.

I've only been doing local flights from and to the same airport so I'll try a flight to a different airport
