Flight Simulator Logbook Editor (FS Logbook Editor) is a small program to edit - as the title implies, logbook files created by Microsoft® Flight Simulator X (mainly), Microsoft® Flight Simulator 2004, Lockheed Martin Prepar3D® and X-Plane 10/11®.
What logbook? What is the logbook, you ask? Well, for aviators, the amount of hours flown is important, as it is the main indicator of their experience. So every pilot keeps track of his/her hours in a "logbook", which is basically a paper or electronic list of all flights that aviator flew. For flight simmers, this logbook is created and written to automatically every time you run one of the simulators mentioned above. Information like departure airport, destination airport and of course flight times are automatically logged.
I can edit the records inside Flight Simulator more or less, why should I need FS Logbook Editor? You are right, you can edit the records right in the flight simulator, but doing so feels a little clumsy to me, not much "user friendly". It works fine to change one or two things from time to time, but it is not much "joy" for some more detailed logbook management. One example is, say you want to keep only "serious" flights you did inside the logbook. This would require you to go through all the records and delete all "test", "tweak", "whatever tuning" flight records. If I would have to do all of this in flight simulator interface, I would rather not do it at all. And FS Logbook Editor can do more than just those simple edits.

Requirements:
-
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (only import of the logbook data!!!)
-
FSX, FS2004, Prepar3d, X-Plane10, X-Plane 11
-
Supported operating system: Microsoft® Windows.
-
FSX, FS2004, Prepar3d, X-Plane10, X-Plane 11
Supported operating system: Microsoft® Windows 7 ans above. MAC is not oficially supported, even thought the software may work there. FS Logbook Editor was written using Java and thus requires it to be installed on your system (min version 15 - was 11 with version 1.65, was 8 before v1.65). But to make your life easy as possible, the required version of Java Run-time Environment is packed with FS Logbook Editor, so it will work even if you have no Java installed. If you have newer version of Java, FS Logbook Editor will use it. As for system specifications, there are no specific requirements other than minimum screen resolution of 1024x768. Any average computer of today should handle FS Logbook Editor well.
