Propilot v2 - What would you like to see on it?
EHM-2155 Mariano:
I tried searching this thread for this but I didnt re-read all the posts, so if I'm reposting, please forgive me.
Customisable Transition Altitude. I guess this is more of a flight logger thing, but something should pop up asking us for the TA where we are flying. This is very useful for people who fly online and abide the rules (Lets say, TA=6000 and propilot would give a penalty I belive if we went below FL180 and we dont change the altimeter to local, although that only should happen at 6000).
Of course, there should be another button in there saying "use standard" for FL180 when we're flying offline.
EHM-0654 Murray:
Picking up Mariano's "customisable TA", it'd need to be a client-side setting (as I'm sure we all realise) but I agree with it it general terms - set the TA/TL for dep/dest prior to engine start, or FL180 is used "per default"...

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

Totally agree. I made a mistake and went past the VS limit once and it's going to take me more than a few flights to get it back to where it originaly was let along getting a good FAC score!

Some thoughts regarding ProPilot...
I agree with making the scoring system more positive, it can be a turnoff to only get negative scores.
I find the altimeter penalty trivial & anoying...pressing B should be the co-pilots job, not mine ;)
I have nothing against a random failure system as long as the occurance rate is similar to real world ops.
I would like to see rewards for smoothly/skillfully hand flying (i.e. without AP) the aircraft. I'm not sure how this would be measured though. Rewarding "aircraft handling" and "airmanship" could balance out all the arbitrary number penalties...IMHO
