Logbook gets deleted when quitting msfs on Xbox

I just joined the lost my logbook club. I have a vanilla Xbox series x. No third party anything unless you count a mouse and keyboard. I have bought the Reno air race basic version and that’s it. My hours were 127 now 1. Achievements are still there as of this writing. Never explored cashe ,fps or dev settings. So I never altered anything. But I have experienced at least 80 percent of every inconvenience that I read about on this forum. Like ctds, studders inability to update with WU, loss of mouse, inability to receive bush flight completion. Come on Microsoft fix this we all paid all the money.

Hi all same issue. My flying time was up to 215 hours. I had a separate issue (not seeing any live players) so I signed out of my account within the sim to see if that helped. On loading back up again signed in my hours were on zero. Thing is the next level for hours is still at 300 in my profile and all my achievements still logged but hours (including the logbook) have been wiped. I’m on Xbox so no dev mode etc.

I lost all my hours a long time ago after an update too. I had almost 800, but that was from having my system clock back a month for some reason, then gong forward while in the game. Turns out that adds to your flight time. So in my case I didn’t mind that it reset haha

Brief description of the issue: today I noticed my hours reset. Last month I had over 50 hours heading towards 100. When I checked today, now I have 15. It also says 0/36 completed on training when I have done 90% of it. Is my progress gone forever? Has anyone else seen this?

Did you submit this to Zendesk? If so, what is your ticket #?
No.

Of course most of achievement progress is gone (except unlocked ones basically).

This has happened to me twice in Xbox. It was twice, one right after hotfix 1, and second right after hotfix 2. I’m hoping it doesn’t happen when world update 6 launches.

there is a huge topic about:

( not special for xbox )

Except I got no such message and there was no package release or hotfix or anything. I was minding my own business and everyone is on vacation and voilà. I very much doubt this is an issue specific to content manager glitches. There’s probably something broken deep within the logbook mechanism that can be triggered by the brutal reset of a “packages out of date” error but can also happen randomly.

Before that I got random last flight logs deletions but never the whole logbook. And being on Xbox there’s hardly any mod to blame.

yes… the topic is huge and its not only about the message package out of… :slight_smile:

One example is the latest entry in that topic: ( a simple re-login )

■■■■, browsed that topic quickly yesterday but didn’t realize there were so many different situations where this happens. Sucks. I freakin love the game otherwise!

Hi,

I open previously a Zendesk ticket #118094 for this issue, and also describe it in this topic.

I also lost twice my logbook and my progression.
But, not totally: I flew three bush trips, and was awarded of a success. In my xbox live account, all is fine, not erased. In FS2020, the progression show 100%, but the total say (for bush trips) : 0/10
To overide that, I reflew the las leg of each bush trip, and miracle , the counter now say 3/10 as expected. But of course, I’m far to the 50 hours of flight because this one is based on the logbook.

This bug make quite unplayable the Xbox version, as we are unsure if the logbook will no be lost one more time, soon or later :rage: :rage: :rage:

I also notice that the logbook record wrong things, especially when flying the bush trips. I have the Alaska bush trip in progress, and sometimes, it record nosense datas. Very weird!
When I finish a leg, the screen display the correct result (departure/arrival/fligh time as expected) - but , if i return to the main menu and take a look at the logbook, I see 00:00:00 as flighttime, and arrival airport is replaced by the departure.

There is defintely something very buggy in the logbook.

For the learning flights, I also get a counter of 0… but if I reflew the same lesson, and even get a “C”, it is recorded again as a “A” and counted.

Edit: don’t forget to VOTE for bugs (at the top of the page/topic) if you wan’t a chance to them solved.

There are terrible bugs in the way the logbook works on the Xbox version. I’m not the only one complaining about it, and it can have consequences on the number of hours of flights, the successes and it makes the gaming experience really deplorable :broken_heart:.

During bush trips the records are totally corrupted, sometimes it’s good, but often it records a flight with a duration of 00:00:00 and confuses the departure and arrival airports. It’s complete rubbish!

I want a reward :1st_place_medal: for having fly an UFO :alien:
Yes! my logbook contain an entry with an empty aircraft (should be the Xcub - I don’t install any other aircraft than the original premium edition). How is it possible ? :upside_down_face:

Yes what’s annoying is that the main flight hours stat and some achievements are based on the logbook (even though there’s a total flight seconds which seem to be working as intended). That makes some of these achievements basically unobtainable.

Same problem!!! , I went offline with my account and logged in again, to see if it would solve the azure atc bug. Then when back in the sim all my hours and logbook entries were gone,
"hello Asobo when are you going to address this problem of instability of the logbook and propose a backup / recovery ???

This problem seems to be quite common and affects both Xbox and PC. All the more reason to take this into consideration, but it doesn’t seem to bother Asobo too much.

:point_right: Take a look here, for others threads about this issue.

For my part, I decided not to put a dime more in add-ons or DLCs until the fundamental MSFS bugs are fixed, and this one is on my list (just like those relating to joystick and mouse on Xbox).

Logged out someone else could log in, logged back in and everything was gone. Logbook empty (300+ hours), bushtrips (75%), landing challenges was at 98%) etc.
Did everything to try to get it back but it’s gone. Also from the cloud which is worrying.

New content and features are useless if the basic reliability can’t be trusted. I love everything that this game (genius moneymaker for them) could be but so far it’s been 80% frustration if I take the zillion times the game crashed at first.

I have also just created an (already “SOLVED” :grimacing: ) Zendesk ticket for this.

Just for the record, PC - Win 10 here - Steam version, fully up to date (non beta).

I have no idea what caused it but I can only guess that it was when I logged out and back in (in game) recently to try and solve another issue, which turned out to be an issue with the servers although I didn’t see the announcement until afterwards.

All log book entries are gone. Flying hours are now at 2. Awards on STEAM are retained but I really don’t care about “Awards” it is just the logbook which had a lot of flights that I liked to repeat and examine etc.

I am guessing no one has a fix for this as I have searched many places for it. So just wanted to add my info to the list.

Cheers.
