Propilot v2 - What would you like to see on it?
EHM-0948 Bruno:
Keep posting guys ... all of your opinions count.
Thank you to the ones that already gave their 2 cents.

I think you should show the ranking again like you did it. Its a challenge to see if Im close to the top 10 or where are my competitors.
Why I did not like anymore flying propilot? It was the new system! for ex. I made a long haul online-flight with bad weather landing - "perfect" from FSPassengers but got penalty because after leaving the runway, I wanted to put out the landing and strobe lights and made the mistake with the "anti collision" (but I puted them on again immediately ) - 60points. Last time I got from the ATC a high speed approach - we were 7 aircraft in approach and I got the next penaltys. For a perfect long haul I got only +29 points ! This is a bad relation! - After aircraft crashes I have so many penaltys, that I have to fly the next 20 years for getting in positive rating - this is not very encouraging me.
It seems that some pilots with a lot of points are flying 20 hours a day (I never see them online), but this does not say anything about their skillness. If you have to study or work or have a family, you cannot match with them.

I definitely agree with this, i still fly on PP though and i'd like to see the top 10 too ;D the penalties are given tooo fast, we don't get a chance to correct them if we accidently hit some key, eg. turning the strobes off.
What's more, its so difficult to get back a positive score after crashing or getting penalties.
EHM-1749 Hector:
One other thing I can think of for the new PP version is to include the fuel management as responsability for the pilot.
Also, I agree with previous ideas on round trip flights. I propose that once a pilot leaves his/her hub with a particular plane, that plane MUST be returned to the hub no matter how many connecting flights have been performed.
EHM-0948 Bruno:
Hi,
Definately the FAC system (pilot ranking) will be changed on the next one.
What I would strongly suggest is that you fly the best that you can, but fly there.
Because when the new FAC system comes out you'll surely get a better position than others that don't fly on it.

Hi Bruno and all Pilots !
Only a short mention.
On my online - flights from Peking - Paris I made a landing in Krasnoyarsk UNKL. It was one of my most difficult approaches, heavy rain and gusts, visibility 300 mtrs, no ILS, no Pappi no Vasi. In real it would impossible to land under such conditions. Not enough, FS Pax made a failure, but I landed the aircraft safely and got in FSPax over 1000 points for that exellent flight, but in ProPilot I got ludicrous 29,70 points !!!:$ I was dissapointed. For a ridiculos mistake with landing lights you get 100 pts penalty! Or 150 poits for "overspeed under 10000 ft" as the controller gave me once a high speed approach. It means, you have to make more than 5 perfect flights to even out this !!! Thats no good relation and not encouraging pilots to fly with PP.
I hope you find a good solution !
Cheers
Franz
