Flight Logger

Knight Air Flight Logger

This program is designed to automatically record all flight times required for the Knight Air Virtual Airline. The program seamlessly integrates with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 to record the flight times. All you have to do is set-up the flight and click the start flight button. From that point everything will be recorded. When a flight is complete its added to a database ready for the pilot to file the PIREP.

The flight logger is pretty much complete and will be available from the downloads page very soon

Why was this written? Well there are two main reasons

1) Am am a very keen programmer and have always wanted to write something that integrated with FS2002 to do something useful.

2) I seem to end up with lots of bits of paper with flight times written down and could never remember what was what.

ScreenShots

Below are some screenshots of the program.

This shows the main flight recording screen after a flight has been set-up. All that is now required is to press the 'Start Flight' button and the program will start to record times
This screen shows the main database of flights that have been completed. All of the times are noted here. This shows the left hand side of the table The times look a little odd at present and I am still working on a better format

This screen shows the PIREP logging wizard. This feature is currently under development but it is hoped that it will automatically fill in the PIREP page. It will still require you to submit the PIREP and is only there to prevent you having to enter all of the PIREP details.
