Hi,

In my Katana, I've done quite a few landings and scored up to 102.
I have clicked on save and also checked the logbook and these scores ARE recorded.

However when I load a new flight on the runway, connect FSFlyingSchool, and do Ctrl Shift SPACE to start circuits it says "please achieve a landing score above 70 to enable circuits"

What am I doing wrong? Why doesn't it remember my landing score for purpose of starting circuits?

many thanks

Hi -

I think the issue may be that your aircraft is not one that has specific support in FSFS (that is, an FSR file in the aircraft folder of FSFS).

There are 2 Katana's in there:

- Digital Aviation Katana Da-20-80
- Digital Aviation Katana Da-20-100

Is yours either of these?

The issue is that we wanted to prevent pilot frustration with FSFS circuit mode flying, which is very demanding in FSFS, and we did this by setting a lower limit to the pilot's proficiency in the world of FSFlyingSchool. If the pilot cannot score the minimum scores for landings and flights required, then trying to fly circuits will only make things worse.

Now then - you have scored over the required amount, but I am guessing that this may have been done in a Katana that is not on our list? (I am guessing - just trying to help!)

The reason we require the plane to be on our list is that otherwise the pilot can set whatever values he/she likes in the "user data" of the aircraft page. Of course most folks would enter logical, realistic data, but someone just looking for "high scores" might do otherwise. And that of course is also why scores generated when flying with "user data" cannot be submitted to our web site.

If your plane is not on our list - then all you need to do is fly and landing in a plane in the aircraft folder - a c172 (for example) - and score over 70 and you'll be all set to fly circuits in whatever plane you like.

Please let me know how you get on!

Hi

Katana 4X, the new digital aviation one sold by Aerosoft.

But now I understand why..

So I CAN do circuits in ANY plane, as long as I do the landing test in one of the fully supported planes.

I didn't think of that But I can do that then it should be fine.

Thanks for the help.

Hi -

You are quite correct.

Having seen this case, we (FSInventions) need to make this logic clearer in the manual. It is not, and I apologise for that.
