FlightRecorderMask
To get the value for this variable, you just add up the numbers next to the categories that you want to see. The categories are:
Internal | 0 |
Runtime | 1 |
Shutdown | 16 |
Netbabel | 32 |
Startup | 64 |
So you can see the default value (33) means you're getting logging for netbabel and runtime errors.
Note: If you have a file called 'logtastic' in the same directory as the engine, you will always get startup and shutdown logging regardless of what FlightRecorderMask is set to in user.cfg.
