Before each saving of a single change, the add-on creates a copy of the original CSV file, to which it appends the `.bak` extension at the end. So, if something goes wrong while editing the data and the original file is corrupted, you can always recover it by removing the `.bak` from the copy name. '''Remember, you only have a copy of one recent file operation'''. | |||

# If you properly close the simulator during the flight ("File" -> "Exit"), the current flight status will be saved to the logbook (without landing information, of course). | |||
# If the simulator will be closed incorrectly during flight, e.g. via the [X] button on the window bar, or a crash occurs, the flight status will lost. | |||
# For the add-on to count as a landing, the aircraft must rest on all wheels and maintain this state for at least 3 seconds. In this way, an ugly bounce off the runway will not be counted as a landing. | |||
# If you start a simulation in the air, the add-on will recognize this and start logging without waiting for take-off. | |||
# If you start a simulation in the air, the add-on is unable to recognize the landing gear, so the landing pass will extend to 6 seconds (giving an extra 3 seconds to make sure the aircraft is resting on all wheels). | |||
# Helicopters should also be supported, although I have not tested all of them. | |||
# The add-on supports JSBSim-based watercraft, although I have not tested all of them. | |||
# The add-on supports the Space Shuttle. | |||
# Flights with UFO will not be logged. | |||
# Pausing the simulation or turning on the replay mode stops the flight statistics from being added to the log. | |||
# As for fuel burn, the add-on does not take into account the change in the amount of fuel during the flight. When you change the amount of fuel during the flight, the result in the **Fuel** column will be incorrect. So try to avoid it and refuel the aircraft before the flight. | |||
# A CSV file with more than 100,000 entries will take much longer to load. On my powerful hardware about 2-3 seconds. This file is always loaded when the add-on loads. Thus, large files will cause a temporary but noticeable stuttering of the entire simulator. | |||
