MSFS-RWT_S0-Main-and-Doc_v5-1-1.zip
Once unzipped,
1) open the "MSFS-RWT_Read-Me.htm" in the "MSFS-RWT_Doc" folder.
2) click on the Mission Tab
3) Select your Mission
4) Push on the Scenario Browser Button
You will then see the scenario for this mission. Same info than in the MSFS2020 Navlog.
However if you have access to MSFS2020 I would recommend to use it instead of MSFS2024. Less chance of having problems with Bushtrip

So how do you get the lessons to appear on the screen when you are flying?
4 months ago
So for MSFS2024 you have to use the documentation. Under the scenarios tab you will get the same step by step info that you get in the MSFS2020 Navlog.
Hopefully when Miscosoft/Asobo enable Custom Bushtrip, they will also enable Custom Navlog. Currently it is not possible to modify the Navlog.
Don't hesitate to send me an email if you have more questions.
Have a good flight,

So I can not import the files that I need to.
Can anyone please help.
I have used AI to get answers, but nothing helps.
Everything works in MSFS 2020 but not in MSFS 2024.
4 months ago
First I need a few answers before I can help you:
1) Are you using the version included with MSFS-RWT (Obsolete), has been replace by a new version:
https://flightsim.to/file/100693/rwt-flightlog-monitoring-tool
2) What are you trying to import : Exported MSFS-RWT flight run or MSFS2020 Log file?
I just check the new flightlog application and the Export/Import/Backup/Restore buttons are always actives.
3) Please provide me the sequence of event so that I can help you.

I will try file/100693 and let you know what happens.
Thank you for your response.
I downloaded and installed the new log.exe. But I am still doing something wrong.
I get an error when I click the add button. So I press the update and I guess it worked.
But then you say log in again. The same screen appears to add or update. It looks the same. No log maintenance or import log buttons appear.
Guess I am too dumb to figure this out.
Actually, I have no files to download. I just thought I had to have the log thing all set up before anything would work.

Users can document their flight phases using a structured scratchpad, perform self-evaluations, and track their flight progress.
The tool features automatic logging of MSFS activities and offers multiple functionalities such as weather updates, flight run management, and detailed reports on flight performance.
This tool replace the FlighLog application that was distributed with MSFS2020-RWT .
Future updates aim to broaden compatibility with additional flight simulation platforms.

I downloaded and installed the Flight Log Appl from this page, but in Help->About, it shows version 4.2. Is that correct? It looks different from your screenshot
In this version, I can't use MSFS-RWT missions. When I set any mission from the list it swich back to FLT000
Need assist

When you connect to MSFS and start a RWT missions, the application detect that, it is a RWT-Mission, the flight number of that Mission, and fill out the Mission description based on the Flight number. You can't change it yourself. While connected this information is updated every second.
You must then disconnect from MSFS before updating you scores and comment. If you terminate the mission before disconnecting. the application will detect that you are not running an RWT-Mission anymore, but some MSFS Activity, and will default to FLT000 or whatever your Flight Number is.
The new FlightLog application, now name RWT-FlightLog will be distributed separately from RWT and will support multi-FlightSim platform including FSX. You will be able to import your Flight Run for the original application. By the way it includes a pre-formatted Scratchpad that you can use to take notes during all phases of a flight. The new version should be available for Christmas.
I hope this solve you problem, if not please let me know and we will find a way around. Have a good flight.

When you are on the Login screen do you get the Database connected... message at the bottom?
In the FlightLog application folder you should have a subfolder, called DataBase with the file, FightLog.db.
If you still have a problem send me a note at fsx.rwt@gmail.com and we will work it out.
Please let me know when it works.
