New FAC algorithm to enter as soon as possible.

And even if I am sometimes mad as a hell due to some stupid and ununderstandable penalties from PP, I adore it.

This is the thing. It drives me crackers when it seems to be going wrong but it is quite good fun. When stuff goes wrong there is a real feeling of injustice but when its going right it is a real wheeze :)

Having browsed through many of the posts on this subject, it is quite clear that whatever is the final outcome it will not please some people. I would have thought that the idea of joining this great VA was the community, the varied choice of aircraft, and the relaxed way in which it is run. Some of the posts now look as if the object of the exercise is to obtain a high/low FAC depending on the final outcome, yes a good FAC is important but not to the point that we are chasing numbers. With regard to the long/short flight issue, without doubt the possibility for more penalties is with the many short flights, the largest risk is during TO/Landing, while these risks are there on a long haul flight they are only encountered once per flight, once into the cruise the only penalty you will incurr is an overspeed, and if you don't fly any closer than about 20Kts to the overspeed mark you will not get an overspeed. So flying on the autopilot for long periods is a breeze as nothing disasterous is going to happen, until Propilot starts to introduce failures, then I would agree that a bonus for long haul would be justified. Again this is just my opinion.

Hi,
Regarding Luis Post:
1 – To Consider the flight times and not only the number of flights.
We do consider.
2 – To Consider the different difficulty (complexity ) of the different airplanes.
We don't consider.
3 - To consider different the online and offline flights
We consider.
4 - The total amount of the penalties does not have to be bigger that the value of one crash.The penalties values must be review to balance with the crash value.
We consider.
5 - The Popup Murray's idea, is a good ideia.(only read it, while I was posting this).And it finish the flights with the pilot far away from the cockpit.(Pilot in bed, in bathroom having a shower, in kitchen or walking the dog on the street or sleeping.....heheheheh)
Not possible to implement for now, and still complex to decide.
So, we will think about the airplane difficult coeficient, and we will give an answer soon about it.
Regards,

Just one other possibility Bruno...what about a weather factor, is that possible? So, if somebody is flying online and the weather has been particularly challenging can that be scored in too?

Just to add a little more to this suggestion of mine, make the pop-up system modal and it won't matter if you run FS full screen or not, the pop-up will appear above everything else. Further, if you've forgotten to turn off "pause FS when it doesn't have focus" it'll pause FS until the dialog is dealt with.
