What ever you don't.....

Postby expat » Fri Oct 09, 2020 12:50 pm

I have had a problem for the last week or so, the logbook in the sim has not been updating. I have finally found out what the problem is.
I had set developer mode as I could change aircraft in flight. There is a bug with developer mode at the moment. If you are in this mode, the sim will not record any fights to your logbook.
If you want a current logbook, by all means fiddle about with developer mode, but don't forget to turn it off if you want your hours recorded.

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Bugger! :-x

Wish I'd known about this a while ago, would've had nearly 60-ish hours logged instead of the 36 hours I currently have right now!

Only enabled Developer mode to swap into different aircraft on the fly ('scuse the pun!)

Thanks for the heads up!

So you can change planes in flight? <<q Must give this a try this evening when I get home, the only thing left I guess is good ol' "TOWER VIEW ", but even if that never happens, this Sim is "AWESOME!" :D

Yup, my hours would be well over fifty if I had found this out earlier.....
