Title: Flight logger \"inconveniences\"
Post by: EHM-1539 Pierre on May 16, 2005, 01:20:15 am

Hi, the flight logger is a great tool, but I have some tricky situation that happened to me a few days ago.

Situation 1 :
I was flying EGLL LFPG, and during the taxi the engines stopped for a reason I don't remember, probably keyboard error ^^.
"DING" flight logger with a message and then crash.
I think the message was a runtime error.
Impossible to restart flight logger with engines restarted, and there was traffic and a coffee addicted ATC so no time to do the logger startup before restarting engine to taxi.

Situation 2 :
During the cruize over the channel my buggy Aerosoft ATR42 decided that I was not qualified anymore to decide what throttle I should put ;D
"I, the ATR42 hereby declare myself independant from the pilot now and will lock the engine power I like whatever throttle is applied".
I threatened it to refuel with gazoil after landing :@ but that didn't work, so i had to stop the engines in flight, and restart them, that brought the plane back to reason, but engines stopped : flight logger stops. And impossible to restart it in flight.

If one day you plan to rework on flight logger, I suggest you do something about it (possibility to have engine shutdown and restart during a flight, in case of fire for exemple, or any failure, that will be implemented in the PMDG failure system of their coming 744, that many people will use I think, and probably other planes sooner or later).

The first situation is already solved on a new version of the flight logger.
The second one is a consequence of the first one, so, it is solved too.

Currently the Flight Logger 2 is on a alpha version. So, have to wait some more time in order to get it.

Regards,

yeah i had a similar problem, where i had finished my flight but forgot to turn off the engine, and just closed down FS, thenwhen i clicked end log i got a runtime error.  this was really annoying as i had full confidence in flight logger, and therefore did not write down any times, meaning that i did a flight and got no flight hours for it...but hey i'll get over that.  but will this problem be fixed in the new version of Flight Logger???
