Flight Logger 3.0.9 - Bugs and suggestions!
EHM-1752 Luciano:
Hi Bruno,
Just a couple of suggestions... hope they help.
If possible I would like to receive a warning before flying to remind me to start Propilot if planned. I did some flights having locked the flight and then forgot to press the ProPilot button in FLogger !!! :(
Another funny thing is that after sending the flight report, if you resend it by mistake the system records it twice. Shouldn't it realize that the report has been already sent?
Best regards,
Luciano

Well Bruno, I don't know how the logger communicates with the server, but there should be a way for the server to send a command to the logger too? So at takeoff, the logger sends the message to the server "Airborne" or whatever. If the logger doesn't get a respons from the server in x seconds, the logger sends the message again, and after say 3 attempts without a response the logger could say there is a problem with the communication. If the logger gets the respons from the server, just add a row in the ACARS. Same procedure for landing. Don't know if it's possible since I don't know how the communication goes, but...

Hi Bruno,
Working on 3.0.9? Interesting...
How about:
1. creating a feature to enable stop-overs? There is a huge discussion on the forum somewhere regarding a certain flight from Australia to Europe (i believe). Guess there is enough inspiration to be found there... Would appreciate some sort of "pauze"-button, which would enable basically to 'stitch two (or more) pirep's together'. Like long flights and sometimes fuel-stops cant be avoided as you know. Good, can always work-around it, but that's not as convenient as FLogger is/can be.
2. Am not (yet anyway) flying pro-pilot so was confused the first time i used ver 3.0.8 that even though selecting only class 6 flights, i got choice of class 4 and 5 flights as well. My brother explained it to me later and that clarified matters. However, possibly somewhere in Preferences a tick-box whether FLogger is to behave "ProPilot enabled" (so, like in my case, display class 4, 5 and 6) or not (display only class 6 flights, like the old FLogger did)?
3. The way division and classes are selected in the present version of FLogger is in my opinion a bit "the-other-way-around". When FLogger is started i know already (mostly) what i will fly, and so first have to (for example) disable all divisions except main division and clas 1 to 5. That's 10 clicks(?), where 2 would do to just 'switch on' main division and class 6.
4. Had once a case where i was looking for a particular flight (believe it was EHM-6176, between EHAM and BIKF). Selected main division and class 6 (which showed the class 4, 5 and 6 flights sorted by flight number, see ProPilot comment above). However flight EHM-6176 was definately NOT in the list... First after i entered EHAM for departure and BIKF as destination she suddenly showed up! She really wasn't there earlier! And yes, FLogger database was updated. Small bug in 3.0.8 perhaps?
Some of the above perhaps a bit far fetched, but when work is in progress on a new version anyway...
If i think of something else then will let you know.
Enjoy and best regards,
Stef

Just a suggestion.. Maybe you could put the great circle distance, which is already on the database, on the main reading area enabling us to order flights by distance..
This way it would be easier to find a shorter or longer flight depending on how much time you have available
Best regards

Well said Miguel. A great idea that I missed earlier.
