I have been flying a couple of circuits this weekend. What a great fun that is. Really keeps you on your toes, but at the same time, dosen´t take all that long, so all in all a wonderful feature in FSFlyingschool.

That said then I must admit that I have a little problem, with the scoring. (ha ha don´t laugh here I don´t mean it like that)
Problem is that a lot of the time, when I have completed a circuit, and land, I get no Circuitscore, because of the error shown in the screenshot below!

As you can see I get a flight-, and landingscore but no circuitscore (well yes a 0.00 but not a submittalble score) because the final circuit is 410 seconds long. NO it isn´t! I recon that the entire circuit is 410 seconds long, but none of the individual legs lasts for more than the 6 minuts, that is max according to the manual.

It seems that FSFS looks upon the entire circuit as one leg. And yes I hear the instructor call upwind-, crosswind-, downwind-, base leg, and final, so something does not compute here or I perform completly wrong. But sometimes it works fine. I actually cracked the top 10 in circuit table, so... But it takes a little of the fun out of it, when not being rated 80% of the time.

Any suggestions?

First - congrats on getting into the top ten of the circuits table - this requires considerable skill and we are all, I am sure, most impressed by your performance.

The reduction of the score to zero would come from a leg being over 6 minutes long, but you say that this is not the case. Perhaps, next time this happens, you could take a screen shot of the flight analysis from FS and email it to us so we could look at the pattern flown.

I'd also be interested to hear your estimate of the length of the flight (time) - could you time it for us?
