Large log files with certain aircrafts

Postby AzulProfundo » Thu Jul 08, 2021 11:58 pm

Hi Folks!

I am using the Dash8 aircraft from the default hangar, and with a fairly long session (about one hour) in FG, I get log files with almost 100 Mb. So after a few days, you can imagine that a lot of disk space is used just with these logs. The large files are due to the reporting of FDM values of the aircraft during flight.
So, how can I disable that logging to keep the files with a minimum size?
