New FAC algorithm to enter as soon as possible.
EHM-0948 Bruno:
Dear pilots,
After a long time analysing the flights, the MT noticed that the current FAC algorithm doesn't benefict pilots on a fair way.
For instance, a pilot that does a 50 mins flight is evaluated the same way as a pilot that does a 9h trip ...
So, we came to a new algorithm that will work the opposite way as this one: The bigger the value, the better you are :)
The algorithm will be:
[Total Flights] x 0.5 + [Total Minutes] x 0.3 - [Total Extra Penalties] x 0.7 - [Total Flight Penalties] + [Total online IVAO/VATSIM flights] x 0.9
So, as you see you get beneficts if:
- You do flights on ProPilot.
- You do longer flights.
- You fly online on a flight network.
We hope this new FAC algorithm can be more fair to all of us.
The transfer step will be made on our limited time ...
You'll also receive an automatic email explaining all of your new FAC value when it has been applied.
This topic is opened for discussion or doubts.
Regards,

Absolutely very fair to all pilots who already fly on ProPilot and the same for all newcomers.

Seems more fair yes, but will the FAC for all of us, start from 0?
EHM-1908 Steve:
Im not sure about the way this will benifit longer flights.
It seems to me that in a lot of cases flights of 4hr + are flown with no one in front of the pc screen (auto-pilot) and sometimes not even in the same room.
I feel it will reduce flying ability and encourage chaseing numbers.
Just my thoughts

EHM-1883 Matt:
I like all of it, except the fact that you get extra if it's on a network. I think that is very unfair considering alot of us don't like to fly online, and also the fact that IVAO ATC sometimes forces us to make bad moves.
