Where are the green penalty notifications?
« on: July 12, 2008, 02:36:55 pm »
I remember that when I began using Flight Logger I used to see sometimes these red on green background notifications at the top of the screen with "Penalty: you did something wrong" (well, you get my point). I hope my memory is not failing me LOL.

I don't remember if I used to see them BEFORE or AFTER I started ProPiloting. What I do remember is that for the most of my Class 4 career (PP) I did not see those on-screen notifications even when I was given a penalty.

What do I need to do to get them back? I thought it was pretty cool to get them on the Green tape because psycologically speaking you get immediate feedback about an improper action (and thus learn to correct it faster) than looking at the ACARS after the facts.

If my memory failed me (gee, I hope not!) what is the chance that the PP/Flight Logger would (ever?) be updated with an option to enable/disable this useful feature?

Hi,

Note that penalties are not the only information that should appear "on tape". There are other messages too, like startup, shutdown, takeoff and land, do you have these?

If you don't, then as Bruno said it's a technical issue. There are no settings in FS + FL about seing these messages or not, but I think there are some (settings) in FSUIPC, especially if you have a registered version.

Well that is the funny thing, on the green type I do get notifications such as "Engine X started" but no penalties. The penalties only appear in my ACARS log on FL and are not forwarded to the green tape.
