Flight Log v1.0.6

Flight Log v1.0.6

The big addition in this release: DCS World auto-tracking.

DCS Auto-tracking (beta)

Flight Log can now detect and record your DCS flights automatically. A small
hook installs into your Saved Games folder and writes one file per flight,
capturing real (IRL) start/end times, the map, and every aircraft you flew.

• Install hook — one click copies the script into Saved Games/DCS/Scripts/Hooks
• Auto-detect path — your Saved Games/DCS folder is found automatically (editable)
• Manual import — a picker lists detected flights; select what to import or delete
• Auto-import — new flights are added on their own (app open, checked every 10s)
• Aircraft & map detection — internal DCS names are mapped to clean tags
  (e.g. FA-18C_hornet → F/A-18C), and multiple aircraft per flight are supported
• Diagnose tool — verifies the hook is writing files correctly
• Tidy storage — flight files live in their own Saved Games/DCS/FlightLog/ folder

⚠️ Experimental — please read
Auto-tracking is still evolving. Its format may change between versions, and
auto-recorded flights could become corrupted / unreadable in future updates.
👉 For reliable, long-term records, prefer the manual stopwatch (the ▶ ON
button): start before the flight, stop after, fill in the debrief.

improvements

• Redesigned import window: live selection contrast, dark-theme polish, hover feedback
• Flights stay re-importable after you delete their card
• Lenient session parser (tolerates old & new file formats — no more breakage on updates)
• Full FR / EN / RU translations for the whole DCS feature

Technical

• One JSON file per flight, timestamps based on real clock time
• App version now shown in Settings

v1.0.5

New

🖱️ System tray right-click menu

Right-click the tray icon to quickly start a flight, stop it, or close the app — without bringing the window back up. The label switches automatically based on the timer state and follows the app language (FR / EN / RU).

📌 Minimize to tray on close

If a session is recording, closing the window now offers to minimize to the tray instead of losing the recording. The choice can be remembered.

🎨 Per-tag color customization

Every tag (map, mission, aircraft) can have its own color from Settings → Customization, with a live preview and unsaved-change protection.

🔄 Auto-updater

The app checks for new versions on startup and on close. One-click install with SHA-256 verification. Option to include pre-releases.
