Rules for the FSFlyingSchool (Hereafter known as FSFS) Hawaiian tour. 
1) Anyone using FS9 or FSX, and full versions of FSFS classic or FSFS 2009 can enter.
2) Pick a plane from the FSFS hanger and fly the entire tour in that plane.
3) Competition starts on May 1, 2009 and all 21 flights must be done on May 31, 2009.
4) You decide when you want to fly the legs within the above mentioned timeframe.
You can choose real weather, calm weather or nasty weather conditions – risk / reward system.
It’s all up to your piloting skills. Any time of day you like, night, day whatever.
5) When you have completed one leg, you must submit your score to the web.
(So we can see each other scores)
6) You must make a posting of the flight in the Hawaiian tour forum, stating the following:
Name (goes with the posting), date of flying (so we can track the score on the high score list)
and the scores (flight- and landing scores).
7) You can use autopilot if you want, (FSFS 2009 only) See FSFS Manual to avoid score-cut
8) You are on the FSFS Pilot Code of Ethics system. You are expected to make the flight one time
only and cannot re-fly the leg because you perhaps got a bad score. It is all for fun or at least
bragging rights!
9) You are welcome to take in-flight screenshots and post those with the posting mentioned in rule 6.
10) When all competitors have finished all 21 flights (or on June 1st) we will compare scores and name
a winner of the Hawaiian tour. The winner will have the right to – politely – mock the other
competitors for a period of seven days!
Notes:
The airports chosen for this tour range from very short runways (i.e. Peleau at 2100 feet) to long runways such as Honolulu. This may come into play as to the airplane you choose. It was the idea that this tour would utilize smaller airplanes and enjoy the scenery of Hawaii, but it is all up to the pilot to choose their favourite airplane. Trying to stop a Learjet on 2100 feet of runway might be fun for your passengers! Pick wisely.
Make sure you understand Non-ILS landings and ILS Landings. A good majority of these airports are Non-ILS runways, so make sure to make your own landing Non-ILS landing files or hit the edges of the runway by default. Highly recommended to make your on Non-ILS files that way you can pick your spot on the runway to aim for it. Scoring is effected when you miss your landing marks and Mr. Smith and company are grading you.
The point system:
To avoid the need for using the bigger planes, if one is more comfortable with using smaller planes, we have come up with what we think is fair point system. It goes as follows:
When the competitors have chosen their plane for the tour, I will make an “target score” for that plane. The target score will consist of the ten highest scores on the FSFS high score list for than plane, with 60 miles visibility. This to avoid the mega scores of some planes, using very low visibility.
An example:
In the FSFS High score list the Cessna 172 Skyhawk is listed in several liveries. we have looked in all liveries and taken out the ten highest scores with visibility being 60 miles.
This is what we found.
Flight Scores: 103.49, 103.39, 103.34, 103.28, 103.20, 102.80, 102.41, 102.00, 101.89, 101.63
Landing Scores: 103.7, 102.9, 101.00, 100.00, 100.00, 100.00, 99.00, 99.00, 98.2, 98.00
Average of Flight scores is: 102.74
Average of Landing scores is: 100.18
Average of Flight and landing average is. (102.74 + 100.18 / 2) = 101.46
So 101.46 score is the Target Score you as a pilot are trying to shoot for the Cessna 172 Skyhawk.
Now, you fly your 21 legs of the Hawaiian Tour, you will have 21 flight scores and 21 landing scores. All those scores will be put together and divided by 42. This will give you an average score.
Now – Lets say your average score is 98.25 (it might be a lot better, but for arguments sake)
We then do the following math: (Your Score x 100) / (Target Score)
Your Score = 98.25
Target Score = 101.46
(98.25 x 100) / 101.46 = 96.84 (Your Final Pilot Score for Hawaiian Tour)
If you use a Boeing 747 for instance, your scores will probably be a lot higher, BUT the aim-score for that plane will be equally higher, so you will face exactly the same struggle for the percentage of the target score.
This way it won’t matter what plane you chose. A Cessna 172 will be able to beat the Boeing 747, if you fly the Cessna up to the max of the planes capability. Cool, neat and fair.
Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
