[SU7] End-Of-Flight logbook popup suppression: Still creating bogus zero minute logbook entries

What are some of you guys blabbering on about? This is the “Miscellaneous” section of the “Bugs & Issues” forum:

If this is the first bug report forum for you or the purpose is a bit foggy to you - it’s meant to collect feedback about issues (regardless of their gravity), to verify and confirm bugs and buglettes and - if need be - to investigate them in order to create a meaningful bug report. It’s not meant for meta discussions and musings about the decline of whatever.

SU7 tries to improve an old issue and this thread is to clinically point out how exactly that improvement failed to meet more than half of the expectations: The popup interrupted reenacting shutdown procedures and discouraged training them this way. The current simple kludge meant to address this is merely clicking the dialog away automatically (which is also still noticeable) and hence it leaves the other part of the issue with this (surplus zero time logging cluttering up the logbook) untouched.

A better implementation could be using the [ESC] key as a trigger for the same logbook dialog, that way the user can decide when he wants to see this and either go to the [Main menu] or [Continue] for another flight to be logged. Zero hours entries (maybe because the user changed his mind about another flight) should be automatically purged.
