i just recently realise that my journal dont registered any of my flights.excuse my english i use a french version of fsx. for those of you who dont know what i am talking about, here is. when you open the game you have choises , free flight, missions, pilot registering or records.in pilot registering you find;rewards, photos and flight journal or in french carnet de vol. this journal should be recordind your flights and hours of flying. mine dont. what can i do. thanks

The FSX logbook file can get corrupted quite easily.  If you don't mind losing all of your logs, you can delete the file \Documents and Settings\userid\My Documents\Flight Simulator X Files\Logbook.BIN.  FSX will create a new one the next time it starts.

I hate having to restart my logbook.  There is an excellent logbook editor available at http://lc0277.nerim.net/wiki/index.php?software  It is the third item on the page.  I have used this program quite a bit over the past couple of years and it always fixes any problems with my log files.  It is written in Java, so you will need to have Java installed on your computer. As a bonus, it is written in French.

Most likely the last entry in your logbook is corrupted.  Delete it, save your logbook, and restart FSX.  Fly a quick flight and check your logs.  Things should be working again.

I had that problem a long time ago, and found out that if you deleted any entry other than the last one, your logbook stopped recording.

thank you augr the delete worked,i have a virgin logbook but it's working fine. and thanks to rickg i know what i have done wrong, i deleted some log without knowing the consequences. i will be more careful now. thank you both! jlab58
