I believe it only happens if you are parked on (or close to) a designated parking spot, or perhaps very close to a runway - as I have had it happen at small strips without any parking spots.
MSFS can be quite random - sometimes when I park a short distance from a runway the logbook shows I landed in the âvicinityâ of an airfield - sometimes not even the one I landed at but another several miles away! That may have been an old bug, as I donât think Iâve seen it for a while to be honest.
Yeah back in the day it didnât used to be as bad, you could park somewhere out in the grass or just near a parking spot and it wouldnât pop up, but now it does it no matter what. Itâll even do it if you land out in the middle of nowhere.
Last we heard about it (January Q&A), they misunderstood our wish.
They said âremoving the pop up would not fix the bugâ.
No news since then.
This makes me think devs actually do not read the forums.
Instead there is a person reading the forum who summarizes wishes and bugs into a single sentence or so.
Hence we now have âbigger taxi signsâ while we asked for realistic taxi signs, and âthe logbook pop up bug does not get fixed by removing the logbookâ.
My suggestion:
After a flight has started, the pilot has to end the flight at some point. This is usually done by pressing ESC.
When a pilot presses ESC, the simulator must offer whether the previous flight should be entered in the logbook or not.
If you press ESC, at the moment you get to the Settings menu. If you select âReturn to the main menuâ, they could also add the option âwith or without an entry in the logbookâ.
But as long as ESC is not pressed, there should be no interruption by the simulator.
Edit: The question is: When does a flight end?
In my opinion it will end when the pilot goes back to the main menu. Then the question about the logbook entry must be asked.
I donât know why is there any ending pop-up window at all. I want to decide when the flight is over myself.
What if I want to âsimulateâ passengers disembarking/embarking from my C172 immediately after shutdown. For a sightseeing flight. The game stops the flight and wonât even log the next one.
In FSX the flight âendedâ when you left the game into the menu. Perfectly simple.
Maybe when âwe, the PIC decide the flight is truly over. you do âââ to shut it down and go to the logbook.
Then I decide to update the logbook, then go to the main menu.
Nothing wrong with a set up allowing or going with the âend-of-gameâ type of ending currently.
If the pop-up was eliminated, how and when would end-of-flight be determined? How would end-of-flight be displayed to the user?
Itâs not the simâs job to tell the user when the flight has ended. Itâs up to the user to tell the sim when the flight has ended. The sim cannot know when the user is done. Maybe the user wants to sit there on the apron for 30 minutes with the engines off, simulating a turnaround, and then depart again.
The flight is over when the user exits the flight, as it has always been in flight sim.
I donât see the difficulty in granting this wish either⊠Right now, for some uncontrolled airports, the logbook doesnât pop up at all. It mostly does in the controlled ones. But the logbook entry still gets created. They could just eliminate the automatic pop-up and be done. As long as the entry is populated, the user can exit to main menu when they wish. As of now, if you donât quit the flight after the logbook pops up, it generates ANOTHER entry while you are doing the shutdown.
hey guys I did two flights in the A320neo and the Logbook didnât pop up while shutting down, instead it did it when I turned off the batteries? Did Asobo do this in the latest patch or did Fbw do it?
