Penalties

[dutchkip]

Hi there,
I am constantly getting penalty (minor) for my flights, G-force and Pitch angle. (PMDG 737-800)
Those are the only ones I'm getting and no matter what I try it can not be avoided.
I tried take-off climbing by Auto pilot and manual flying but it makes no difference.
Is there a setting I can change to overcome this?

Attached last flight log.

Kind regards

Hi Leo,

First we can at the end of a flight, uncheck some items in the assessment menu. So before exit pull down the ALT menu and click on the Assessment menu items to set the plus or minus.

Overall settings are in one file. But we can make a new file for a particular aircraft.

If we look at the folder:
C:\ProgramData\Ideal Flight Professional\Profiles\Monitor

we can see Default.ini in there, others have the folder name of the aircraft, and those files override the default when that aircraft is chosen.


The g forces and the other items can be set in the file with Notepad:

Code: Select all

[FlightG]
Aircraft=Airplane, Helicopter
Units=100ths G
Assessment=135, 140, 145, 150, 160, 180, 200, 250, 300
Weighting=1, 2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 50
Attribute=1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3
Text=Minor, Excess, Danger

or we can use the button on the Mission page Edit Monitor file.

In the page we can choose the defaults file or make a new file.

If we look at the default file and scroll down to yaw rate, we can see that the Assessment is set to -1, that will disable the yaw reading altogether.

in the default FlightG we see in Assessment box:
35, 40, 45, 50, 60, 80, 100, 150, 200

we can change that to:
135, 140, 145, 150, 160, 180, 200, 250, 300
I already did that and copied the text from the default.ini file after I saved the new setting. We click on the item in the list box to see the updated result at the bottom of the form, before we save it.

Thanks Steve,

I will give that a try and let you know the outcome.
