BMS Logbook problem
« on: December 05, 2022, 11:42:15 PM »
Guys can you help with this logbook issue? The BMS forums don't seem to have a solution yet.

In the Logbook section of BMS 4.36, My Name/Callsign shows up in the drop down field but cannot be selected. The default Joe Pilot/Viper is there and I can't change from that?

The .lbk file is still there in the folder.
Any ideas on how I can get back to my correct pilot and logbook?

Thanks

Have you tried deleting Joe Pilot and see if BMS then picks up your pilot and data?  You don't have to delete Joe Pilot's files, just relocate somewhere else if you want to be safe.

I remember at one point there was an update where my logbook I've saved since 1998 was no longer working.  This was a few years ago.   So what I ended up doing is using logbook editor and edited a newly saved logbook file to what my old one was and have been using that new file ever since.   Like I said, I can't remember when this was?  But it was a few years ago at the least.

I’m proud and shocked that I manage to keep track of my logbook data since 1998.  So keeping accurate is a big deal to me.  So thank god for the editor.

@Marvin - as someone who is not bothered about the logbook, I am genuinely curious what a 20+ year old logbook would look like.  Any chance of sharing a screenshot?  Thanks!
