? about bonus points after failures

[Boston234]

Hello

I have had two failures (the first was loss of brakes upon landing and the second one was a fuel leak in the right tank), on two separate
flights. On both end of reports, I didn't get any bonus points for: landing on schedule or for satisfied passengers. Is this right?

My last flight I got this report:
Overall Flight Result: Perfect

Pilot Bonus points: 300 points
You made a very nice landing. (+50)
A problem occurred during flight but you landed safely, nice job. (+250)

As you can see, I received 300 points, but my flight was smooth, and although I had a fuel leak, it did not affect the flight or the comfort of
the passengers. I am not complaining, but would I have gotten 330 for the total flight if a failure didn't occur?
IE:
something like this:
Overall Flight Result: Perfect

Pilot Bonus points: 330 points
You made a very smooth landing. (+50)
Perfect Flight, no problems and very satisfied passengers. (+150)
You landed at the scheduled airport. (+30)
Precise arrival time at destination.(-00h01 difference) (+100)

Thanks :-)

PS: thanks for the help on my last question! Great program.

I think that is right BUT something doesnt look right there for me in the flight result... i might be wrong BUT it should have given you an extra +150
points if you called the emergency... thus taking the points tally for the flight to 450 points... outweighing the 330 points for your other perfect
flight.

Unless you didnt call the emergency?

Hi Omarza,

Thanks for the reply.

I didn't call a mayday. I was close to my arrival airport when I noticed the right tank gauge was showing empty. I still had more than
enough fuel to make a safe landing.(on the left tank), so I didn't do a mayday. Should I have? I was not in any state of emergency at that
point. If I was far from my planned airport, I would have been forced to land, thus I would have done mayday.

But I still wonder why I didn't get a 100 bonus for landing with in one minute of my planned arrival time. this flight was over an hour long.

Thanks,
John

When you have a fuel leak then your Co-Pilot doesn't call out a mayday, he calls out a "pan, pan, pan". In reality it's "smaller" than a mayday and
you just get a higher priority by ATC. And I think you should call out a pan with leaking fuel (at least in reality), because you never know, what
could broke up in the next few minutes and the people under you surely don't like to be sprayed over with cerosine ;-)

A detectable fuel leak is definetly an emergency and you should have declared it as such. As Felix mentioned, there's no telling what it
could turn into, and could become more serious very soon. I believe if you declared an emergency, you would've received more points.

next version will at least add the bonus "landed on sheduled airport" and "landed on time"
even when you have an emergency...

other bonus are related to "no problems" as in "perfect flight without using time acceleration, no problems and ...""


so as there was problem I'll not add them when there is a failure aboard... I know "problems" aren't your fault
but that's life... I didn't get also a BIG gift last christmas even I was very nice during the years.

I didn't get also a BIG gift last christmas even I was very nice during the years.

That's way you should ALWAYS buy at least one present for your self, from your self. Works for me every xmas, and I never disappoint myself (when
buing myself presents that is)
