fagulha Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Hey all, As stated, a game/sim who connects to the internet nowadays like DCS could have a kind of Logbook cloud sync saved progress. I think it will be a more than useful feature. Thank you and Merry Christmas to all users and ED staff. Cheers from Lisbon, Porutgal.

Hog_driver Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Not sure if this is a good idea. During a mission, I accidentally shot down a friendly aircraft. It was treated as a fratricide and, IIRC, my score was reset. Fortunately, I had a copy of the logbook and was able to sweep that regrettable incident under the rug Which might not be possible if the logbook is cloud-synced.

Kang Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 I myself rather wonder if it's worth it, really, without doing a bit of a revamp of how the logbooks work in the first place. Sure there isn't any harm in it, but why bother with needing the shelf space in the cloud and the administrative hassle with it, when a) you are the only one to ever look at your logbook to begin with b) it doesn't contain that much interesting information - this might be a matter of opinion but to me only the hours flown is all that relevant and that gets easily skewed by the fact that only single player missions count, and c) with it being local you can copy, backup and edit it to your heart's contend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all comes to imagination of each one of us. Logbook App is a good example, where i can see my stats and it have also a greenie board (shared with the app users) where i can see my landings stats and learn from it, so, something similar in the DCS core might be more useful than you think. - "Don't be John Wayne in the Break if you´re going to be Jerry Lewis on the Ball".

This is probably a better angle to approach it from. If it's just stats syncing between installs, any old existing cloud solution will do that already — just link the directory in. On its own, it's not creating a whole lot of effect for what would require a fair amount of back-end infrastructure work on the server side. The question is rather, what other opportunities and uses would it open up that would potentially benefit a larger segment of players in a larger set of situations. Some open APi to pull these kinds of stats from a central source? Metrics for the campaign, mission, and server developers to see how their stuff is used? Or just as an excuse to harden the logbook functionality a bit since it's… not entirely reliable? Edited December 21, 2021 by Tippis 1 ❧ ❧ Inside you are two wolves.

Hinkey Posted February 5, 2022 Share Posted February 5, 2022 (edited) Cloud based logbook would be great. My logbook is currently an inaccurate mess because I bounce back and forth between two machines. Migrating to a fresh DCS install would be simplified as well. Expanding the logbook to include day/night traps would also be appreciated. Edited February 5, 2022 by Hinkey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
