Entering logbook = Sim Freezes, and nothing is shown in 3 mins!

[AirPorkOne]

What is going on with my logbook? Im entering the logbook-page and then its all blank, and the sim seem to freeze for about 3 minutes (cant do anything with the sim), then it shows up as it should, but I get at feeling that something is off. Pc Win 11.

It’s your new SU13 compressed logbook file.
There was a bug for users who hit 16MB in logfile size (nothing new was being recorded), so they decided to compress the logfile for everyone I think. Instead of increasing its size. The decompression is what’s taking the 2 minutes (for me) to happen. The problem is they should have created a message saying “please wait” or “processing” rather than the “no entries” and the 2 min system “hang/freeze” that we are seeing.

Or 16MB I guess I wonder how much flying is needed to get to 16G!

[BragRaindrop933]

Woops yes 16MB my bad. I was surprises it was so small, musy be loaded into RAM or something so they don’t want to expand the size to say 32MB so they compressed it instead. Will go edit my original post!

[Aleo5069]

AFAIK, the size limit was related to the cloud syncing part. Even 16MB for every single player will cost quite some storage and traffic every time the sim launches and closes.

[BragRaindrop933]

Ah ok. Too bad it’s not just uncompressed locally and compressed on the server then?

[Aleo5069]

Oh sorry, I should make it clear that the compression/decompression probably took place on the PC end. But I have no clue why it is so slow in your case.

[BragRaindrop933]

I’m at the 16MB limit evidently. I hadn’t had any flights logged since July this year before SU13, so I’m happy to have it counting them again tbh. I just don’t go near the logbook now because of the 2 min ‘hang’.
The interesting thing is my total hours flown shown on my profile is incremented and is available instantly, it’s just the logfile itself that is slow to decompress. So the total hours flown figure must be incremented & stored elsewhere (my profile?) and not recalculated every time from the logfile.

For me it took either 18 or 28 seconds, I forget which. Oddly that delay is incurred every time you fiddle with the filters at the top of the screen, other than switching to or from partial flights IIRC. You would think once its loaded into memory that it wouldn’t need to be “decompressed” or whatever is causing the delay.
