Logbook redesign

[Vekkinho]

OK I wish for a better insight of your virtual pilot's achievements.

 

Let's see...with LOMAC and FC 1.1 we had an option to access more details of separate sorties. We could see date and time of each sortie as well as its duration in hh:mm format. We could se the airbase where we finally landed and plane we've flown during that mission.

 

With FC2 logbook got redesinged changed but we can only access overall fight hours, kills, points, crashes, refuellings etc. I wish to have more data...for each mission I've flown. An option of saving debriefings would be great as well.

 

Another cool thing to have would be exportable logbook so all fight hours logged as well as ranks and medals can be used with future DCS modules.

 

For instance, I've bben playing simulators since I was a kid starting with Chuck Yeager Air Combat, A-10 Tank Killer, Microprose F-15, F-19, F-117, Jane's OAF, Jane's F-15Strike Fighter etc and finally in late '90 got attracted By Falcon 4.0 and Flanker.

 

So back with LOMAC and Open Falcon I started using MS Excel to log my flight hours or the hours i've spent in front of my monitor with stick in my hand and results are somewhat astonishing:

 

Open Falcon / Allied force - 620 hours

LOMAC - 427

FC1.12 - 683

FC2.0 - 353

Ka-50 - 94

A-10C - 5

 

I wish could export and use same pilot profile since my first days of LOMAC. I'd be a president by now...

Could you send me your logbook format, that sounds awesome. So far in BMS I have about 60 hours flown and FC, Ka-50.....who knows.

One thing, you can save the debriefing using the button at the bottom next to save track.

An improved logbook would indeed be very nice. I know that it is mostly for fun and does not bring any real value but I'd like to see more improved statistics, like exactly what kind of targets I did destroy (57 x T-72, 2 x Mi-24 and so on).

As an extension of this, it would be nice to see a logbook of online achievements/stats: hours flown, landings, kills, ejections, weapons fired etc.

 

Maybe even an online virtual pilot career with medals and promotions.

 

These stats accummulate in the single play mode, why not for online play as well?

 

This might encourage more ppl to fly multiplayer missions.

If you're into computer programming, making an application that does this kind of thing would be super-easy to do. I'd be willing to support someone who is working on a better DCS logbook, as I have considerable knowledge of the events system, but I have neither the time nor inclination to tackle such a project myself. Not saying it wouldn't be a useful addition though... I just don't have the time or high enough interest levels to do it myself :)
