# <code>Variant</code> – the code name of the aircraft as its variant. Some aircraft are available in more than one variant, for example, we have an aircraft called "Cessna 182S" which also includes a variant called "Cessna 182T." If you select "Cessna 182S," you will see <code>c182s</code> in the <code>Aircraft</code> as well as <code>Variant</code> column. If you select "Cessna 182T", you will see <code>c182s</code> in the <code>Aircraft</code> column, but <code>c182t</code> in the <code>Variant</code> column. This way you have the main group of aircraft in the <code>Aircraft</code> column, and its variants in the <code>Variant</code> column. You should know that this is not a rule, and some aircraft do not distinguish between variants, such as the Cessna 172P. Then you will always see a variant of the aircraft in both columns, e.g. <code>c172p-amphibious</code>. If you want, you can manually correct the <code>Aircraft</code> column with a generic aircraft name, e.g. <code>c172p</code>, and leave <code>c172p-amphibious</code> in the <code>Variant</code> column. This will allow you to extract <code>Totals</code> statistics for a general group of aircraft no matter what variant (filtering by <code>Aircraft</code>), as well as more precisely for a specific variant of a given aircraft (filtering by <code>Variant</code>). | |||

The add-on allows you to filter some columns in the main log window. At the moment you can filter by the "Date" (as a year), "Aircraft", "Type", "Callsign", "From", "To", "Landings" and "Crash" columns. To use filtering, hover the mouse cursor over a column name (it will be highlighted) and click it. A new window will appear with a choice of values. For filtering on the "Aircraft" column, these will be the IDs of aircraft you have flown before. For filtering by the "Type" column, these will be the names of aircraft types, etc. Each window with filters also has the "Default All" position, which means that the filter will be turned off and all items will be shown. When the filter is enabled, a <code>(!)</code> sign will be shown next to the filtered column to warn that the filter has been used. | The add-on allows you to filter some columns in the main log window.

After using the filter, the "Totals" row will also be updated with the filtered data. In this way, you can see statistics for a specific aircraft or types of aircraft. | After using the filter, the "Totals" row will also be updated with the filtered data.
