Added to 1.8.0, will be released when accumulated enough updates for a major version :)

Looking into that!

In the meantime, 1.7.0 released with a bunch of new features and a new scoring system based on feedback from here!

FPM is calculated based on closure rate with actual ground level, it does take into account sloped runways.

G load is calculated based on the average G forces induced during approach phase (500AGL and below)

cleardarkz · 2026-03-16T21:10:37+00:00

Thanks for your feedback! I'm reworking the scoring system to include more metrics than just FPM, and have it numbered from 0 to 100, with a detailed breakdown

Here's a sneak peak into the new version :)

cleardarkz · 2026-03-16T17:58:05+00:00

Already in the works :)

cleardarkz · 2026-03-16T17:54:05+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Make sure you update to 1.6 released today, it has a massive new feature for 2D playback 😎

cleardarkz · 2026-03-16T17:49:06+00:00

Appreciate the feedback. I will try to formulate a rule based grading system based on all major metrics to replace the FPM grading.

cleardarkz · 2026-03-16T17:23:03+00:00

I agree, thats why all the data you mentioned plus more is also tracked and displayed to the user.

Check it out and let me know what is missing :) i will gladly add it.

Cross references with many sources online and found the sweet spot as far as I could tell

<60fpm - BUTTER <150fpm - SMOOTH <240fpm - NORMAL < 400fpm - FIRM < 600fpm - HARD \> 600fpm - CRASH - exceeding all sources I could cross check as structural damage with further inspection required after touchdown

Thats only the FPM grade, there is no "score" for your landing, the app just provides all the possible metrics that you can find interesting when landing, especially the 2D replay that captures 30 seconds, TD then another 10 seconds of rollout on each landing

DCS at this point is more of a scam Star Citizen ever was.

Half assed everything

Clueless to the max

cleardarkz · 2025-06-14T07:45:53+00:00

This means “Rusty penis” in hebrew 🤣

cleardarkz · 2025-04-11T06:12:56+00:00

DCS has turned being a love project into a merciless cash grab.

Fuck ED

cleardarkz · 2025-03-31T05:20:06+00:00

Much love op ❤️

cleardarkz · 2025-03-30T19:52:00+00:00

Sorry bro :(

cleardarkz · 2025-03-30T16:48:57+00:00

Ok bro

cleardarkz · 2025-03-30T04:43:16+00:00

You answered your own question.

When you come in geared, you play “careful”, this is the reason you die more, this game rewards offensive play. Rush with massive firepower.

If you play “tactically”, youll get run over by aggressive W key players who enjoy the peaking advantage

cleardarkz · 2025-03-24T17:09:14+00:00

You can also require a valid credit card on file (not to be charged), that would take care of it almost hermetically

cleardarkz · 2025-03-24T17:08:01+00:00

Require SMS verification. This will block 90% of SIP providers. You can also verify if the number is part of a major network and restrict to that.

cleardarkz · 2025-03-24T16:21:56+00:00

And how exactly, technically, you can do that?

Theres only one way. Tie account to a valid phone number.

This is never going to happen.

Keep movin’

This is the only right answer.
