Any simmer out there know if there is a pilots log utility available that captures your flight information as to departure and arrival airport codes and hours,minutes in real time?
The existing log doesn't give you enough room to input many characters and my calculations of their indicated flight times don't agree.
Thanx

Head to http://www.admin2k2.com and check out LogBook.

It's got several features that are far superior to the logbook in F$.  It's not automatic, and you'll have to remember to put the information in there.   But it might be what you're looking for.

We've recently required that all of our pilots carry LogBook with them.  It's a great program.

Thanks Scott - I dl'd the try it out version and see what happens.
If it looks good and works for me I'll no doubt purchase it.

No need.  It's my understanding that LogBook is freeware.  VA Administrator is payware, and well worth every cent!  lol

Also check out "The Booking System" that gives you passenger loads and VIP bookings!   ;)

Also a possibility.  We went with LogBook for its ease of submission.  One click and our pilots can submit a PiRep to our Personnel Office.  Very handy.  (Plus some other cool features that I'll let you all discover.  lol)
