Voyager Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 This may be a DCS World question rather than an F-14B question, but was wondering how the logbook time is calculated? Was looking at it, and it seems like the number is lower that I would have expected, but I'm wondering if it is counting only time off wheels rather than time in cockpit. I'm mostly doing short flights from a cold start so thinking it might be that I'm still slow on power up?
Rudel_chw Posted June 5, 2019 Posted June 5, 2019 The logbook doesnt count time spent on multiplayer, nor time spent on training missions. It only counts time spent on the air, ground time doesnt count. 1 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
Eldur Posted June 6, 2019 Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) You forgot the fact that it also doesn't count time spent on the Hornet When I realized that and saw the bug reports, I basically stopped looking at it... just did a peek a while ago to notice this hasn't changed yet Edit: Got less than 10 hours on the Tomcat in the log and just 4 A/A kills, no A/G ones at all. I'm extremely sure I spent more time and did more kills, especially since I LGBed several units or just gunned them down quite often. Doesn't look much better on the Hornet either... My 2¢: This "feature" is bugged beyond repair, but do I care? Edited June 6, 2019 by Eldur

My logbooks work for F-14 & F-18 (minus the MP time). Petty no MP time is shown!

Chuck_Henry Posted June 8, 2019 Posted June 8, 2019 Military logbook hours are takeoff to landing. Ground time does not count.
BobbyDevo Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Time is added to my logbook when I am doing a cold start on the ground in my M-2000. Time starts as soon as I enter the mission.
Biggus Posted July 14, 2019 Posted July 14, 2019 Logbook is broken and has been for a long time. DCS issue, not a Heatblur one.
