A better log book.

[DarkFire]

The log book we currently have in DCS is OK as far as it goes, listing score, total flight time for individual aircraft; air, ground & maritime targets destroyed etc.

 

I'd like to see greatly expanded functionality to the log book. In addition to the current statistics recorded, ideally I'd like to see it track each individual flight per aircraft type in a similar way to the records that commercial pilots keep, with start & end points listed, distance flown and any victories achieved in that particular mission. ideally I'd like the log book to link each individual flight to the relevant TacView ACMI file (for those who use TacView) so you could instantly review any particular flight in any particular aircraft right from within your pilot log book.

Ability to make notes

Also cloud based so it doesn't reset when the game is uninstalled, etc (minor and doesn't usually matter)

Agree completely with this, it should definitely have those features :thumbup:

Intermittent Flight log

 

Hi

 

 

I find the log book does not always record flight time.

 

 

Anyone else find this?

The other thing I'd like (though super trivial) is to complete the squadron list for the countries listed.

There's a problem in that the log book only records flights where the aircraft you're flying is the same nation as your logbook pilot.

 

Patently this is not always true as I have an RAF pilot in my log book and it quite happily records my various flights in my Su-27, whether I'm flying a Russian or Ukrainian aircraft.

 

If there is a problem there, and there does seem to be, then I don't think it manifests itself all the time. This may be the issue that you're experiencing. It's also the case that the log book only records single player flights, not multiplayer ones.

Good idea. I'm sure most of the information about the various squadrons that countries have is publicly available, so that would be very useful to have.

Thanks for the reply Darkfire. It does seem to be random. I have found that if you do a touch and go during a flight it tends to record more accuratly.
