That was really the point of me creating the post in another thread, an attempt to de-mystify the process, and illustrate that there are logical reasons for what happens, even if you may not agree with them.
If something is not being logged, it’s probably because the next stage of your flight has not triggered.
I have observed that it is is capable of skipping over steps. For example, last night I took off but deliberaly did not interact with ATC. I did follow through the motions though, taxxing to what I believed to be the active runway, holding short for a few seconds, then lining up, accelerating, and taking off.
When I was in the air, either a certain height, or distance from the runway is met, and it jumped from, I think “Use ATC to request taxi clearance”, which is exactly what I didn’t do so that makes sense, in rapid succession all the way to, I think, “Follow on-screen waypoints to navigate”. In the Objectives window you could see it advancing through the process, the next objective appearing, turning green, and the next appearing below that.
At some point in that process a “0”, gets turned into a “1”, and if you skip over, or somehow subvert that process, an landing/takeoff does not get logged.
