"<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(globecar @ Jun 1 2005, 01:49 AM)</div><div class='quotemain'>There is a configuration file where you can set the parameters for flight critique. [Touchdown] On = 1 Value1 = -450 Value2 = -800 Penalty1 = 7.5 Penalty2 = 15 RateValue1 = -200 RateText1 = Greased RateValue2 = -300 RateText2 = Excellent RateValue3 = -350 RateText3 = Very Good RateValue4 = -450 RateText4 = Good RateValue5 = -550 RateText5 = Moderate RateValue6 = -700 RateText6 = Bad RateValue7 = -900 RateText7 = Very Bad It is not set per aircraft which would be better so it must be setup for the one you fly most often. Being user adjustable is very poor for VA use. It would let pilots make adjustments that would always make them look good. [right][snapback]3778[/snapback][/right] </div> I just started to play with it but was wondering, is it possible to have a define set for Globe but also others ones that we could change if we fly something different like let's say a Beaver?"

We will need more time to investigate all of the things that we might be able to do.

"Ralph, just tried it on a flight from Montreal to Las Vegas. Lost some points because I landed with only 30,000 pds of fuel. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/ohmy.gif[/img] Sent them the info. Seems ok even if a lot of functions are not working on the trial version. Maybe ye could get the full working version for a month if a bunch of us are going to buy it."

"I've done a test flight on my OMDB-VIDP, works OK, does not steal that much fps, though I have to try & run it on my 2nd computer [as I now do with everything [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif[/img]]. It's quite amazing to see what this program measure. I like it, especially as we're going to have a discount. Is there going to be a 'Flight from VA'-like function here too?"

Sorry but can not get a full working version on a trial basis. I am glad that you like what you saw though. Mike is still busy getting a version of the world map working with the new system and always so much for Mike to do.
