The great logbook hunt

[Buckethead]

OK I am tryign to find my logbook to look at it and name it and I am having no luck.  I went inot the help file and it says you can find it under the "Options" section.  Well there is no "Options" section.  There is a settings section nad I've checked under all of the sections there an I can't find logbok anywhere.  I have the option clicked so I know it is saving my flights but I can't locate it.

Anyone else have a hard itme finding it?

It's in flights\myflts\logbook.log.

Don't change the name/location or FS won't recognize it to add new log info.

Thank you Webb.  I have to shake my head as to why MS tells us to look in the options menu when there is no options menu.  

One more ques though.  The CD manual says you can have multiple logbooks and choose which one.  My wife flies on this also can we have seperate logbooks?

Thanks: John

OK now I am relly confused.  There is no "myflights" directory in my fs2002 directory.  "Model, Models and Modules" are the only M folders.

Am I overlooking this "Options" menu they keep talking about in the manual logbok section?

Thanks: John

Tipster,

Do you have a link to this file?  I've searched Google with the file name and the author name with no results.

[BFMF]

Search for the author here at SimV, and as a last resort, try going to Avsim or Flightsim and searching for the filename

What a surprise - "All nodes are busy".  Back to Google.

 My default logbook is exactly where it's always been but doesn't record any information anymore, what's up with that? I have everything set to log my flights and I always enter a title before I exit FS2002, but when I go look at my log, the last entry is from quite a while ago.
 Must be saving it somewhere don't you think?
 Maybe I'll check out the log Tipster suggests.

Is this what you're looking for?

[FSTipster]

There's an option in settings to log flight time. Make sure you have it checked.

If you are willing to spend $20, the FS Flight Keeper logbook is awesome! It handles multiple pilots, record a huge number of details of each flight (its billed as a 'blackbox' and IS), takes all the details directly from FS (no need to fill things in, including flight plan way points, etc), will grade your flight performance if you like, and lets you look at a map of each flight you've flown.  It also download weather dynamically, sends it to FS, and records it.  Trial version is available as I recall. Check out http://www.molitor-home.de/fs/FLKeeper/default.asp.

P.S.  One thing that frustrates me about MSFS's logbook is that only about 20 characters can be in the entry title.  Seems silly.  If you fly a couple of different flights in the same session, it is hard to squeeze any details in. It was built for recording just the bare bones (e.g., "Leg 2", "KORD to KEWR", etc.).
