The reason is that a console window opened by an application (e.g. running  fgfs --console) is not the same as a native windows command window from which an application (e.g. fgfs) is started typing a command at the prompt..

Also it was not possible to pipe output to a file from the window that was opened by the fgfs <code>--console</code> method. For historical reasons the fgfs log file is not (as many folk believe) the same as the log printed in the console window.<ref>{{cite web
