FS Logbook Editor and Prepar3D v4 compatibility
Hello,
I looked into the format of logbook of Prepar3D v4. Except that texts are saved in unicode encoding, nothing seems to have changed. Unfortunatelly, there is some bug in Prepar3D v4, which cause that departure and destination airports are not correctly saved in the logbook:

Once this is resolved, I will recheck that my code (which I modified to correctly support the unicode encoding) works and will push an updated version of FS Logbook Editor.

of course during testing I found little bugs that sneaked in thanks to the exceptions I added for the records written by the first version of Prepar3D v4. Hope I fixed them all and notified all the publishers. The updated installers should be available soon in the shop you purchased at.
Due to changed encoding of v4 logbook file, I changed the dialog that asked you about the simulator version during saving. Now this dialog asks you about simulator version and file encoding before opening the file and also before saving it. The encoding option has been removed from the General section of Load and Save tab in the Settings (as it is now on the dialog). The dialog will remember your encoding selection for every simulator version for open and save action separately and will pre-select the last you used. Also changed the format of recent_files.xml, so the simulator version is saved with the path, again to pre-select if you open via the Recent files menu. Hope this should minimize the required clicking...
For FS2004 and X-Plane logbook files, the encoding option has been added as separate option for each respective file at Settings.
That is in short, what have changed. See the help file, where there are little more details. In case of any trouble, report here in the forums or directly to my email: admin@mouseviator.com.
Nice weekend to all.
