Happy Holidays to everyone!!! This year
certainly flew by, it feels like only yesterday it
was ski season here on the East Coast. The
holiday season can certainly be a stressful season
especially in a down economy like we have all been
experiencing for far too long. Online shopping
certainly seems to be leading the way for shoppers
this year after the Black Friday/Cyber Monday
shopping weekend. To help you and those
shopping for you we created a
holiday gift guide. Send the link (http://nc-software.com/GiftGuide)
or print the gift guide and circle a few things and
leave in a location that "may" be seen by someone
shopping for you.
For those shopping our
online store
for someone else we do offer
gift
certificates which is the perfect gift for
anyone any time of the year. Let the recipient
choose for themselves what they want, no exchanges,
no frustrating gifts, keep it simple. Our
online store also allows you to purchase software as
a gift. When purchasing software a
registration code will be generated in the shoppers
name UNLESS you specific a custom name in the
"License to" box (see image above). If you're
shopping for someone else be sure to enter
their name in the
"License to" box and then
click Add to Cart. The store will then
generate a registration code for the gift recipient,
not you.
Also keep in mind that our software is fulfilled by
file download. If you want a physical item to
present to your gift recipient consider a
Software
CD-ROM for $9.95 if purchasing only software.
Our
Cirrus Elite binders can be customized with the
recipient's name and is the ultimate gift for any
pilot using Logbook Pro already. |

Logbook Pro 1.11.0 Released - free update |
We are proud to announce the release of Logbook Pro
1.11.0, a major update (completely free to
registered customers) our popular aviation logbook
software for pilots.
Click here to
download Logbook
Pro 1.11.0 now.
For the complete revision history
click here. Highlights for this release include:
- Direct import from our new Airline Schedule Importer version 8.
No longer do you have to import individual .trp files
- All editions now import from the schedule importer,
no longer is the Professional edition and higher
required
- Complete control over what is imported from the
airline schedule importer using an advanced importer
system (see image below)
- Import schedules "By Leg" or "By Day" and even
record duty time now in a custom text column or remarks
however you map the data
- Syncing Logbook Pro to the My Sync portal no longer
requires a registered/activated version. Even
evaluation users can sync to the My Sync portal.
Syncs "from" the My Sync portal will be limited to the
50 flight log entry limit in the evaluation edition
- Logbook Pro now has the option to start your new
route with the last fix of the prior entered route.
Options/Flight Log can enable/disable this feature
- Syncing from the My Sync portal now has duplicate
entry detection for flights. If you sync your
iPhone or iPad and then make a change and re-sync later
duplicates will not occur within Logbook Pro PC edition
- Landings will match the LEGS value if AutoFill for
the aircraft type is set to auto-enter landings
- Removed individual links to the online video
tutorials and replaced with one menu link that points to
the videos online at http://nc-software.com/videos.aspx
- A new error check condition now looks for dates
outside the normal lifetime of a pilot. For
example, if you enter a date of 1/1/1010 instead of
1/1/2010 it will catch this condition when running the
error checker. The error checker is the button
with the lightning bolt approximately fourth from the
right side on the spreadsheet log sub-toolbar
- Added a condition check to ensure date entries are
valid in the windows style log, this feature already
existed in the spreadsheet style log
- For people that use the scheduled sync system you
will not get a warning prompt when closing Logbook Pro
as Logbook Pro needs to remain open for scheduled sync
to work
- Documentation is no longer included with the main
installation thereby reducing download size and patch
updates by 7 MB. Logbook Pro will point to the web
based documentation at
http://help.nc-software.com. You can download
the documentation manually and Logbook Pro will
re-enable the integrated documentation features if
desired.
Click here for details.
- Left side navigation bar is now hidden by default as
it duplicates the menu bar and takes away screen space.
To turn it on simply click View/Side Bar.
- Options/Backup default option is now set to backup
every 30 days
- Fixed an issue related to block time entry for
international users
- Fixed a problem with the custom report template
related to the remarks column header
- Fixed an issue where the route of flight drop down
may not list the prior routes used
- Fixed an issue where the backup interval for
scheduled backup would not persist the set value other
than 30

Logbook Pro Online Backup Service enhanced |
We love feedback and ideas and as one customer
asked "Why do I have to delete a backup to upload a
new one?" and that's all it took! Making
things easier, doing things that make more sense,
and that's what we did with recent revisions to our
Online Backup
Service for Logbook Pro PC edition
users. Keep your backups on our frequently
backed up servers for a safe off site backup of your
life history in aviation for a very low annual fee.
Click here
for details and upload your backups now!
We changed the upload system so you get feedback
during the upload process as it may take a minute or
so depending on the size of your Logbook Pro backup
and the speed of your Internet connection.
You'll see the "Upload" button change to "Uploading"
and a small spinner to the right of the button to
indicate the upload is processing. The other
major change is that if you don't have any
additional uploads available you no longer need to
remove a backup to make space for a new upload.
Simply upload your backup and the system will
automatically remove your oldest backup. We do
recommend the 5 or 10 file backup to keep a history
of backups, not just one backup in rotation.
If you have a problem with your file you'll have
nothing to step back to, the problem make be in your
backup you're rotating with no way to correct the
problem. It's rare but computers are computers
and files can have problems. Spend a little
more now and save a lot of time later should you
need to download a backup someday to restore to
Logbook Pro. |

Airline Schedule Importer version 8 released |
We recently released a brand new Airline Schedule
Importer - version 8. The location of the
schedule import also changed from
https://schedule.nc-software.com to
http://nc-software.com/schedule. Login is
now required as the schedule importer is integrated
into your personal account. If you do not have
a login at NC Software already you can create one by
using the options on the right side of the sign-in
page.
We have completely rewritten the Airline Schedule
Importer to integrate with our new cloud
infrastructure allowing access from any
participating device. You can download files for
use with APDL Palm and Pocket PC edition or use the
new integration within Logbook Pro PC edition 1.11.0
(File...Import Schedule) where it will now pull
directly from your cloud storage. Importing trips
now saves the converted data into your personal
cloud storage for downloading or importing at any
future date.
As shown above you'll find a new button below your
trip data once imported in your cloud storage
allowing you to download your trips into an
iCalendar (.ics) file format. iCalendar files
can be imported into just about any calendar program
including the option to specify a reminder to be
alerted of the trip. Set the reminder from the
drop down and then click the download button and
you'll be prompted to save the .ics file.
Import into Outlook, Google Calendar, Apple iCal,
etc.
In addition to many other enhancements mostly under
the hood is our capture of block and credit times.
Previously you had to use schedule data in UTC.
As we now capture block/credit (if available) we can
determine the duration of the flight without regard
to time zones. Logbook Pro will use the
block/credit to determine the duration value entered
when importing the data.
Beginning January 1, 2011 we will be charging a
small fee to access the schedule importer portal.
To purchase a subscription
click here.
The schedule importer will remain free to use for
the remainder of 2010. To read the entire
press release
click here. If your trip is not importing
correctly or is not supported, please fill out a
schedule importer support ticket by
clicking here and we'll gladly investigate
support for your trip data. |
