Anybody else having sporadic problems with flight logger?
Twice now recently, I have got to the end of a flight, parked up and switched off the engines only to find flight logger has completely seized and won't let me stop the log. Consequently my ProPilot flight needs re-flying. Am I alone in this or have others had similar problems?

I find i have this problem too but it is not the fault of the FL. My connection to the internet can be a little flakey at times so I sometimes have to reconnect to the router and renew my ADSL connection. I find that if this happens, leave FS running for 5 minutes and maximize the Flogger window, after a while, bingo, it re-appears. Try it, if it happens again, try opening up a Web Browser window and see if you have a connection to the net by going to a site that you rarely visit. (therefore it is not cached in your browser, I tend to use cnn.com or bbc.co.uk to prove this)

Hope this helps.

Thanks, I'll try this Phil. I tend to be impatient. When the flight logger locks up my past response has been to bang the keyboard a bit (always helps that one) then shut down flight sim and click irrationally at flight logger for about five seconds before shutting it down.

Mine does that sometimes, try just leaving it for about five minutes, anc check you connection. Sometimes it magically heals itself with all flight data recorded.

The whole five minutes thing is what I didn't manage. I just clicked like a loon then switched off. Cheers for the ideas guys. The connection I am sure is fine.
