minutes conversion

Hello,
Yes, if you enter the Takeoff and Landing times, or Out/In, and have it auto-calculate the Duration (Options...Flight Log) it will convert the minutes to the hours.tenths format.

For now, I will put in a converter with 1.9.6, super suggestion, where we you 6 years ago? 
Also realize the import wizard, if you are importing data, will convert minutes to hours.tenths during the import. However, for manual entry, that won't work until the next update.

Dear Neal,
by having people have minutes converted (ie. import OR OUT/IN) it will still round the actual number. It does not log every minute. I agree that over the long run it doesn't matter on how you log.
If wanting to log every single minute, you will have to enter more then one decimal. LBP will work with the exact number you input. If you already have the data in a excel sheet, make a conversion of your total time to be displayed in a decimal number. (you might have to multiply it by 24!!) This will make a 1:05 flight into 1.0833333
You know I have been dealing with this issue for some time now, but it works great (just a bit more typing). Can't wait for beta testing 1.9.6
Keep up the good work

At this time you can't enter minutes directly. You can enter a decimal number. This number is not limited to one decimal. (ie 1.1=1:06) The problem with the one decimal thing is that you always log into 6 minute increments. You can actually enter morethen one decimal(ie 1:05=1.083333 1:10=1.166666 1:15=1.33333) Although display will round them up, the calculations are based on the exact number you inputted.
I assume that you want to log according JAR/FCL? Ifso, out/in times are required anyways, making the conversion to a later version that supports minutes a lot easier. and more acurate. If you are interested, I created a MS Access conversion between LBP and a JAR/FCL Jeppesen layout that will print in minutes. email me off forum for this.
