  • Special Server Maintenance

    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Logbook not recording after update

I still haven't figured out how it determines what is and isn't a takeoff and landing. I start cold/dark, fly from point A to point B, taxi to parking, and shut down, and the log still says 0's across the line. I think it wants me to interact with ATC to get credit, but that's crap.
 
Tom, it did not work again. Your experience and reaction resemble mine. Must be a bug needing fixing. Good to know I'm not alone seeing the problem.

That's an interesting thought, but I interact with ATC pretty much all the time (out of habit), and my takeoffs and landings are super inconsistent... pretty cool to have 3 landings with only 2 takeoffs, or vs vs...
 
I've noticed that sometimes as soon as I shut the engine down, the sim automatically takes me out of the flight to my logbook page. This is rare, but when it happens I get credit for the landing. Most times this doesn't happen, and I still get credit for the landing. Other times I don't. Seems very inconsistent. I haven't crashed a plane yet in this sim, but if you look at my logbook you would think I crashed about half of them!
 
I have found a way to get every flight recorded. After making a proper flight, I taxi to an object and crash the plane into it.
I prefer to have the flight statistics recorded to having the crashes shame my record.
