Hi Neal, I have been a logbook-pro user for quite a while now. While I like the software for the most part, I'd like to see a couple of things. First, how about the ability to change the appearance on start-up, both on the PC and PDA; I'm kinda sick of seeing and hearing an airplane when I only fly helicopters. While were at it, let's offer several different start-up flyby sounds to match the different aircraft choices. I'd suggest seven different choices: a piston helicopter(R44-?), a single turbine helicopter(A-Star-?), a twin-turbine helicopter(Dauphin-?), a piston airplane(Cessna 172-?), a multi-engine prop airplane(King Air-?), a corporate jet(Lear-?), and an airline jet(757-?). You could have more I guess, but that would cover the bases. Also, more on the usability level, I've discovered a need to track multi-engine turbine helicopter time vs. single engine turbine. While I can add a column for this, it doesn't carry into the analyzer as well. Under the aircraft tab in Options, under the column "power characteristics", in addition to "piston helicopter", instead of just "turbine helicopter" let's have "single turbine helicopter" and "multi-engine turbine helicopter". This would need to be in the power char. column and not class column because, unlike an airplane, the presence of an additional engine doesn't change the class of aircraft.
