It seems these applications are all geared towards those that have electric logs - those of us with paper are really at a disadvantage when it comes to trying to break flight time down in the detail that they want.
If you'll excuse me, I've got to calculate my night time Piper Apache simulated IFR cross country time....

Yeah, it's not practical for you. I converted roughly 5 years (2100 hours) of old civilian time to logten pro last year. It took me about 30 to 40 hours. Then I added my Military times in one lump per aircraft because I couldn't stand the idea of continuing.
It is very helpful though, even prints reports geared towards both airline apps and pilotcredentials.
