• has a lot of flight information which forces pilots to fly more desirably </li>
• genereates ""nice"" human readable PIREPs</li>
• produces informative maps (flight track, taxi tracks)</li>
• seems to run stable</li>
• has good support with quick respones by the developer</li>

Not so good:

• has to be fine tuned carefully to fit our VA needs (see for example post ""Flight Critque"")</li>
• needs to be configured so that each pilot is measured be the same (global) rules</li>
• has no flight plan transfer mode to obtain one's flightplan from VA (announced for Version 3.x)</li>
• do not prevent sending a flight more than once (just has a ""sure?""-dialogbox)</li>
• needs a lot of work to integrate/migrate it into our current running system</li>

Where as FSAcars has to be manually sent by me."
