daveIT 0 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I had a problem when I started FS X it would hang at the blue splash screen. I tried repairing from CD, reinstalling and deleting the FSX.cfg file with no joy. I kept searching google and finally found a reference to a corrupt logbook file. I renamed the logbook.bin to logbook1.bin and FS X started right up. I later found that someone made a utility to fix logbook files (somewhere on avsim.com or flightsim.com), but I don't really use the logbook so it didn't affect me. I was about to experience severe Beaver withdrawal but luckily I found the fix. Hopefully this helps if anyone else has the same problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

araig 29 Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I had a problem with a corrupt log book after I tried to edit it by deleting some flights from it. I didn't have any crashing issues but it did stop logging flights. The same fix got everything working again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveIT 0 Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 I have no idea how it got corrupted. I'm running FSX on my Mac Pro. I use Apple's BootCamp to run XP. I had been using FSX for a few months and one day it just stopped working. I have FSX on it's own partition (my C: drive) and the logbook file (and others) are under My Documents on the G: drive partition. I'm a Mac guy so I have no idea what Windows is doing half the time.
