Quick question - what I liked about MCCpilotlog was that automatically downloaded my schedule and calculated night time etc etc, - does Safelog do that? ( from Flica )

I actually have two logbooks - Logbook Pro (pre airline) & MCC ( airline only), I tried to make a CSV file from MCC but what a mess and LP APDL system was to pricey and complicated when I tried it several years ago (hence the MCC purchase) - so is Safelog system simpler to use and is it one time purchase? (I may have missed it but it wasn't clearly stated on their website that I saw)

As someone who has been using MCC exclusively since 2009, i wonder what you mean by this. I know MCC screwed up majorly during the first implementation of version 5, however all those bugs seems to have been solved. And i really like the new way of logging flights. So what part do you feel is bad?

I already bought a lifetime of MCC? Judging by the buggy pop-ups and confusing layout Im not really interested.

Unforunately, APDL has gone up in price and I might be making the switch over to LogtenPro (requires a MacBook though....)

I bought the old one for life for 65$ back in 2009 and when the new one was released i bought it again for 120. Still much cheaper than logten pro.
