Propilot v2 - What would you like to see on it?
EHM-1570 Bruce:
I think that Propilot should be made compatable with helicopters, because at the moment if you make a vertical ascent or decent you are penalised with a high AOA, vertical flight in a helicopter is common practice, I have flown helicopters in Propilot with no penalties and the trick is to keep a low forward speed during the ascent or descent, could you not inhibit the AOA penalty when a helicopter is selected?.
EHM-2288 Glenn:
Please, no random failures. They used it in USAirways flight logging program. And if you are unlucky like me, you get a lot of failures, when another pilot don't get failures at all.
As ex. me and my brother was flying for USAirways, and of my last 20 flights I got random errors in 9 of them, and had to turn around and go back. And my brother did fly the same amount of flights, and did only get random errors once.
If we want to fly together, it's not so good to get random errors for one of the pilots, and the other one can fly the rest of the leg alone.:(
EHM-1829 Trevor:
In a way, I have to agree with Glenn.
The telephone rings, someone's at the door, an involuntary key press, disconnection.
And it all seems to happen 3nm from touch down, we have all been there.
Who needs random failures? we make our own.;D
EHM-1829 Trevor:
Would it be helpful having the FAC base line at zero,? it saves falling into the bottomless pit that we have today.
This will save pilots from a heavy negative score before they acquire reasonable experience, and keep them thinking positive It would also bring all the members with a negative score back to the starting line, yes, that includes me with -3000 to my credit. :]

I agree. I have an embarrassing -18,997.50 FAC (the majority of which comes from planes I crashed when I wasn't very good), and with the possibility of only earning 20 of those points back with a flawless flight from Frankfurt to London Heathrow, there's a lot more flying to do :o
