Simviation Forums

Just wondering how many Sim flyers log their flying time. and how you do it?  I log all my planned trips using "flight planner" as normal (time of trip that is included) and include all my "off the cuff"  flights using time from takeoff to landing.  I log them by aircraft I am flying and keep a running total of all times I fly, planned or "otc".  How are hours logged in real time (take off to landing"? or does  "prep time in the cockpit count" ?  It would be interesting to know how many hours regulars on SimV are logging.  Using the "honour system" of course would be the only way.

Personally, very few at the moment  ;D.

I don't generally bother but I'm logging my flight time in my RTW flight. It's measured from the time I actually leave the ground to the time I land and doesn't include taxiing.

All done off the clock on my wall.

When I got heavily into it in Dec. I started keeping the automatic log.  From what I can see it only keeps track of actual air time and you can't double your time by speeding up the sim.

Sad to say but you'll realize what a (lack of) life you have.  I have 160 hrs since 12/8/82.

is there a feature of the game that automaticly keeps a log??

if so, how do i activate it?

Settings\General - check Log Flight Time

The log is buried in \flights\myflts\logbook.log so I just put a shortcut into my root directory.

I've logged 434 hours in FS2002 since 10-23-01

I have to admit that I havn't been flying much lately

keep two seperate logs, last time i checked (last week) i had about 600hrs flying time (that's as the sim open...), and about 500hrs for ATC..

Some life I have.. lol..
