Shoom: What exactly with flight logs?

ShoomFlight logs, how the hell do you do it?


You need to first enable Elite to record flight logs (tells you on the log page how to do this ) Then you need to navigate to the folder that holds the logs (C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Frontier_Developments\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-xxxx\Logs) then drag and drop the 'netLog.xxxxxxxxxxxx.log' file into Inara

Think I have that right

Is it that you can't see the AppData folder? If you can't it is due to Windows hiding system folders, you will need to make it visable by:

(this is while viewing a directory - I'd suggest c:/users/YOURUSERNAME/)

Pressing [ALT] + [T] (Tools menu)
Click 'Folder Options'
Click the 'View' tab
In the lower window click the radio box next to 'Show hidden files, folders, and drives'
Click 'OK'

You should now be able to see the AppData folder, let us know if this works/doesn't work!

Just a note, you can also have logs in the game folder, like: C:\EDLaunch\Products\FORC-FDEV-D-1002\Logs

Hello. What format do you guys use to upload your screenshots, and what is the process to change it from the original format?

What I do is to open the bmp. file with paint and then save it as png. file, but the quality is from medium to horrible.

Any tips?

Sci FiI have like 30 or so Net logs which one do I use?


Start with the latest one and go back as far as you would like

I have noticed that some have no navigation info in it, but Inara will warn you about it so you will know

and then will it just keep updating? on its own?
27 Jul 2015, 8:29pm
Also it justs says interdiction info...is this right?

Sci Fi: If do you jumped elsewhere during the session, it's not. This log was probably created without VerboseLogging enabled (as described in Flight logs help), so there is no information about jumps within the log and Inara cannot take the proper records from there. In any case, there is not possible to take/update the flight logs automatically, browser doesn't allow to touch your local files without your action (security restrictions), so you need to upload *.log files to Inara manually (you can upload up to 10 files at once, so you can do that once per week for example).
