Logbook Editor?!

[Vekkinho]

Is there any?!

 

It would be very useful, cause I just crash landed and died and I had 140+ flight hours logged + lots of various VVS medals.

 

So any chance of ressurection here?!

Vekkinho, here is my standard cut and paste logbook information, hope it helps....

 

Log Book Problems.

 

To get your logbook working you should create a pilot and make sure the "default" box is ticked.

 

Also notice that even if you checked the "default" box on your pilot his stats are only updated when you fly for that pilotґs country or when your pilots country is in the same coalition, meaning that if "your" pilot is American the stats of missions you fly for Russia for example will not be stored in "your" pilotґs log unless you make sure USA is on the same side as Russia.

 

 

A couple of things......

 

1) He must be alive. Once he is dead, then you might still be using his name as the pilot name, but he won't log any time. Each time he dies, you have to use notepad or a similar text editor to edit the file

 

C:\Program Files\Ubisoft\Eagle Dynamics\Lock On\PilotLogBook\Pilots.xml

 

Search for your pilot name, then move a bit more along the line until you see Status= if it says 0 (zero) then your pilot is dead, change it to say 1 (one).

Remember status = 0(dead), status = 1(alive and kicking).

This is a real pain in the *&% to have to do . Try to bale out when you get shot down, so you are still alive. If you can't, hit ESC and quit before you die. Having to constantly edit the Pilots.xml gets old real fast.

 

2)You may have a problem regarding which country your pilot is from and which planes you try to fly. Overcome this by making sure that your pilots country is in a coalition of the side he is flying for. For example I have made a British pilot, but there are no flyable British aircraft in Lockon. I like to fly Su-27, so in any missions/campaigns I make myself (or D/Load from the Internet) I always edit them so that UK is in the same coalition as the Russian or Ukrainian Su-27 I want to fly. That ensures my flight gets logged.

You can make a BAT file that will do this for you. I'd be happy to explain- if I knew how...:smartass:

I put a shortcut to the PilotLogBook on my desktop, its faster to access it than to go though the UBI / ED / LO /etc. folders. Open Pilots XML with notepad, using the right mouse click. Find your name follow the type to were it reads, status = , if it's a 0 your dead, change it to 1 you come back alive. When you close the window a box will appear, changes were made, click yes.

OK guys, Got it...

 

Like I said, I wasn't prepared to eject or to quit...I had some Hydraulic failures and my gear didn't extend. So I tried to belly land on the nearby road but the plane exploded suddenly, before touching the dirt, and I didn't expect to die like that.

 

But now that You've explained, I'm back again!

SOLUTION!!!

 

Here's what you can try and it works 100%.

When I do a training flight, doing some acrobatics and tests with su-33, I use this procedure. When you crash or fail to eject = u are dead.

Do not click "quit", do not exit the screen, the site of the crash. Press ALT+TAB key on the keyboard and you will exit the LOMAC. When you get the screen of your Windows desktop, press CTRL+ALT+DELETE and find "lockOn" on the list. Click it once and then "end task".

 

THATS IT- SIMPLE AS THAT.

 

Restart LockOn an you are good to go - alive!!!
