Are you flying FS9, Franz?
Whichever sim you fly: make sure you start the sim (all the way until "plane on the apron") before you start FL.
FL should recognise your sim version and use the corresponding ICAO code. If you start FL first, it will use "the last sim used", and there is a difference between FS9 and the rest of the sims. So that could set you up for an error.
Actually, the fact that you say FL shows EDJA as a destination, while I created the leg list with ETSM, indicates that that system kinda works. Only: that line should be in green, and not magenta...
I can modify your assigned leg manually this evening, but I just want to know if that is absolutely necessary.
EHM-1800 Franz:
Hi Eric Jan !
Thanks for your answer !
I´m still using FS9 - all the time. I never had FSX !
I could fly all the legs without poroblems, but today it was not possible - for the mentioned reason !
I tried again - after starting FL4 it tells me "Recording started for flight from EDDF - EDJA" "FL4 - parked" - but the colour is still in magenta.
I will try this flight this evening and will report you - if it will not appear in the PIREP, could you do it for me to continue the next leg tomorrow ?
Thanks and cheers

Hi Franz,
sorry for my late reply this evening. Your reply got hidden behind another post in this sub-forum, which marked the sub-forum as read, for me. So I didn't notice it right away.
I see in the database your next PP assignment is EDDF-ETSM, which is what FL should fetch for you. Asuming you already tried starting a new flight in FL, it looks like you have a problem with your FL installation. For some weird reason it is loaded with the FSX ICAO code database.
What you could do to force FL to re-read the FS9.cfg file, and build the subsequent ICAO code database is to remove the FS9.* folder(s) underthe Flighlogger directory (default ibside My Documents) and re-start FS9, then FL, and let FL discover your "new installation" of FS9. That's a time consuming process, but it beats a re-install of FL, because it is part of any re-install.
The weird thing in your case is that FL comes up with the FSX ICAO code, while you don't have FSX installed, and I "programmed" the event in FS9 ICAO codes (ETSM instead of EDJA, in this case). Can't really explain that ???
EHM-1800 Franz:
Hallo Eric-Jean !
Thanks for your advice ! I tried, but without success :'(
I made the flight, FL4 recorded via ACARS, but I was not able to send a PIREP
Sending you the datas, can you doe something, that I could fly the next leg this evening ? Otherwise I would have a time out, when coming back from my holiday .......
