When I look at my MSFS Logbook 99% of my flights say they ended at, for instance “(KEYW )Vicinity”
This was a flight from Miami to KEYW where I landed and taxied to a known gate or ramp position (the circular yellow lines) and shut down the aircraft. The only time I have a “Ground to Ground” flight, is where I never actually took off from the departure airport, for instance KMIA to KMIA.
All the rest, like the one today, are logged as partial flights. Any reasons why? Do you have to specify an arrival gate in your flightplan? Unlikely, as ATC controllers could direct you elsewhere.
Any inputs appreciated.

Hello there,
Hard to pin it down if it’s not a technical glitch.
Developer mode ,if this is on it will not log your flight.
I’ve set up London city to Heathrow and flown it fifty times over the space of a weekend.Only eleven were logged.That of course includes shutdown.
I’ve flown over one hundred hours and still on thirty six.
Don’t have a answer, other than it does not work properly.
Plenty here with more information.
while in non developer mode.
taxi off runway.
enable copilot. let him meander around airport and park.

I have been testing P2ATC for a few days and I have verified that the taxiing at doors if not indicated by the ATC of the sim does not register the parking, it registers it as approaches,
They should correct this, since there are many of us who do not use the ATC of the sim and we are left without a correctly registered flight.
Apparently, if you don’t park and shut down the engine in the right spot, the flight time is logged, but you only get the “in the vicinity” thing.
That’s what happens to me at least.
It feels wrong and I think should be fixed.

Thanks for the inputs guys, always glad to know “you are not allone”. I see there is an update due today, so I’ll wait until after that before filing a bug report.
There are several threads about this in the bugs section already. Please vote them up!
What it comes down to is that there is no sure way to work around this ATM.
It seems more or less random with certain odds depending on what you do. For example, if you land at an uncontrolled airport and look up the parking spaces in MyLittleNavMap tool and park right there and shut down, chances are very high, you get the flight fully credited. If you just park somewhere, it doesn’t. But even that is not often the case…
Can you give me a link to these threads, please?
The entire logbook functionality is hopelessly broken in MSFS 2020.
Obviously one of their lowest priorities on the list of fixes.
