Hi everyone,

Yesterday night my FS has crashed completely. Bad news, no? Well, this is no new to me because it has happened a lot of times during all 14 years using FS. No problem to solve it. Uninstall, reinstall, etc.

Well, before uninstall FS, I saved all the MSFS file in an external HD (~16 GB), so, all the changes I've made at config files and new liveries added since I've started using CS products in april 2010 were saved. Not too bad, no? But, all my pilot records were lost (at least a few more of 1,000 flight hours and 500 landings).

I've found "rewards > mission_rewards & sandbox_rewards" (.RWD files) but I don't know how to open them.

So, I ask if someone knows if is possible to recover all my previous pilot records and add them to new logbook.

Thanks,

Pinatubo.

I've found the Logbook.BIN at Documents > Flight Simulator X Files, but it seems all the old logbook data were definitively lost during reinstalling procedure, as showed below.

If you find out it can do it, please tell me.

From now I'll try to keep a logbook back up file using logbookedit.zip

It is still a painful loss. I had a similar thing happen in the early days of FSX, so I learned this lesson early. I have some 4000+ hours of flights in my logbook. I should have more! I have lost a lot through the need to fix up a problematic logbook, which hurts, but is not as bad as loosing the whole lot. I have a couple of tools (the main one being the one I mentioned previously) that I use to try to preserve as many of my flights as possible, but I continually get errors popping up in the logbook. I would bet that if I started a new logbook, I would probably have no more problems, but I dread losing all those hours of logged flights.
