I'm still learning about this flight sim. What I learned tonight is that the landing count can be way off. I been looking at my medals and stuff in the pilot records area sometime with a sense of achievement. But then tonight I took off in a tail dragger from a bumpy runway and landed at my destination expecting to see 1 landing and there were 3. So because my wheels touched the runway a couple times, those counted as landings.  :-? The pilot record area has now lost it's credibility with me as far as knowing how many landings I have under my belt. Now I have no idea how many landings I actually did and I have to ignore that next achievement medal that says "xx Landings". Or take the cheat like an embellished resume.
I can't do that though. Oh well.

Just wanted to get that off my chest. Join me for a beer?

Why rely on a machine? :-?

Use a notebook and write your own log..

Or maintain an electronic log using a database of some sort

I believe it is possible to change the numer of recorded landings (select an entry, click details)

I might be wrong though. My logbook hasn't worked for months  :-/

If your takeoffs are being counted okay, use them as a reference for landings.

Just wait until your logbook "disappears" and takes all yous stats along with it!  :-?

For whatever reason mine erased itself a few months back for no (related) reason!  Lost over 600 landings and 2000 hours!!!

it does a good job of recording the wrong aircraft as well.
