Lately I have been having a problem with the logbook. I have it set to where it logs the time automatically, and sometimes at the end of the flights when I exit out of FS it comes up with a message saying the logbook doesnt exist, and wont log my time for the particular flight..Any ideas what is going on, and how to fix it???Thanx

You can try saving the text flie that contains your log information under a different name (My Documents/Flight Simulator Files), delete the old one, in flight sim then start a new log, and finally change the name of the "old" log file to the name of the "new" log you have just created.

You gonna share that log with us?

I've been meaning to build one, but haven't bothered to yet...

perhaps once I finish learning visual studio .net I will write a program that does all of the basic logbook functions for us..:-)

I don't know why it happens, but it does with me from time to time. What I  do is:
Open the FS9.cfg and search for the entry "LOG_FILE=" (without the quotation marks). Most likely you will see a strange string of characters behind it, instead of the name of your logbook. I do not know how they get there but they do. Delete them (but leave the "LOG_FILE=" in of course) and save the FS9.cfg Next time  the game wants to make an entry in the logbook it will open the default logbook.

Hope this helps
