New FAC algorithm to enter as soon as possible.

Seems more fair yes, but will the FAC for all of us, start from 0?

The score will carry on from what pilots have previously got. So if you have a low score, you should have a high score now.
It's all a little confusing if you ask me!

Alright, it seems the perfect way for me to improve my FAC, because I do long flights and often online, but I still have a doubt: a crash enters in a "extra penalty" category, right? and all the others penalties in the normal flight penalties category? This means that if you get a "engine started without parking brakes on" penalty,(110 points) it means that you can easily go negative...:>
Is this possible in PP or not? (I am already planning for my negative FAC ;D)
I really like this new way, I think that landing after a 6h flight is much more difficult than flying the same plane for 40mins, and it will be a lot of fun looking our huge FACs
EHM-1001 Robert:
I think we can see the real point only when the new FAC is calculated, and we can see then our own situation and can compare it with others. Of course it can be a pride to be high on the top list, but folks, it is "just" a game ;)
Anyway, I think that long flights count a little more, because you may leave the cockpit for minutes, hours, even though you spent more time with flying, you dedicate more time and more energy to EuroHarmony. It is not a cheating. Everybody flies as much as he can. Nobody will gain anything from having a bigger FAC number, but the experience and the fun of hours he spent with it.
Next to it, if nobody would fly longhaul flights, the big jets would just laid around the HUBs in dust @ rust cover, so anybody could ask: why do we keep them at all in PP system ? Flying the heavies is a type of flying that requires more time than a short flight.
Online flights count more for the same reason: you need to put more energy, more time into it, and it is more risky that your system or plane will be crashed and you lost all the time you spent on that flight. You can do crappy the job, but I am sure the average onmline fliers are very precise, and probably they are the most skilled pilots, and so they deserve some extra score.

Well, looks like many questions were posted and answered ;D ... It's what happens when we have the best pilot community in the VA world ;)
Well, Robert said it all too, so I think there weren't any questions left, right ?
The idea is to turn our strategy to pass more time flying for EHM, and to start flying online. That's where we want to go.
Regarding the difficulty value, looks like a good option too, I will think about it.
The FAC will be re-calculated.

First this system dont change anything to the system, many pilots will be end in negative numbers and it will take them years of flying without penalties to become positive.
(put it in a spreadsheet amazing figures).
Also the pilot witch makes long haul flights are in great advance,
Special pilots ho are flying day after day after day flights from 8-12 hours (this is only possible on Euroharmony AND NOBODY BELIEVES THAT PILOTS DO FLIGHTS 8-12 HOURS DAY AFTER DAY.).

EHM-1908 Steve 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.

To fly big jets you don’t have to fly long flights from 8-12 hours.
One other thing get rid off the ridicules system off suspension, ít’s a hobby, also it takes some work away from the hubmanagers (they don’t react and if they do its to late) .
