Interesting video - thanks for sharing. I am a former flight instructor with over 2,000 hours of flying time and I would like to share a different perspective with you. There are two approaches to using Microsoft Flight Simulator: 1. Treat it as just a game and do whatever you need to do to maximize your score 2. Treat it as a real flight simulator and learn some good real-world flying techniques If you want to learn good flying technique rather than just treating this as a game, you would use a very different approach. For example, you said that the landing approach is not important since it is not scored and it's not necessary to have a "pretty" approach. From a flying perspective, that is definitely not correct. A good, stable, consistent approach is probably the most important determinant of a good landing and that is particularly true on larger aircraft. If you work on developing good flying techniques rather than just treating this as a game, it will probably take longer to maximize your score but you will learn a lot more from it and your results will probably be more consistent.
Does anyone know how you can check the scores of your past challenges? I can't even find anywhere to see what challenges I've done. I want to land them all and have done 22 out of 24 according to profile section but nowhere I can see which ones I have left. Bugs me to no end!
I don't understand the ground roll .. I keep perfectly landing at the center and not moving from it sideways but I still get like 2000 out of 5000 or stuff like that ...
I'm late to the party, but a lot of them are not aligned with the center line! More often than not you have to be several feet from the line to be able to get a really good score, simply because the arrow isn't pointing straight forward. It can take at least ten tries just to be able to figure out roughly where you want to be, since it's hard to jugde visually.
One watch of this video and I’m hitting over a million every time. This entire time I thought I had to get the plane to come to a complete stop in the blue square lmao. I’ve been riding the ground effect stupid early just to try to get it to stop in the blue square. Thanks for the tip.
Yes, but what do the numbers in the scoring for these challenges mean? I can't tell which are mine and what they even mean. Does anybody know? I tried searching Google for it, but all the results are just reviews right now.
Matt Ell hey! The numbers just show how well you completed the challenge. The higher the number of points, the better you did. There’s also a leaderboard with the top 5 landings on the challenge.
@@InfiniteSpaceMedia There are three categories and each has two numbers. One on the same line as the category and one on a horizontal scale below. What do each of those numbers mean?
Matt Ell ohhh, that is how the game comes up with your score. The ground role one is how close you were to the centreline, the landing precision is how close you were to the touchdown zone and the landing smoothness is how smooth your touchdown was.
