This chart will help you convert your time from minutes to decimal. All flight reports must be shown in decimal form. You can make Flight Simulator log your hours to the decimal time by going to setting and display, there is a box there just check log flight time. When you exit FS a box will appear giving you your flight time in decimal time.
