Flying Supersonic

Post by BVU-951 » Wed Feb 15, 2012 10:44 pm

Please can somebody tell me how to fly 13,422nm in 11hours. Average speed of 1,220kts. If you are the pilot that is doing this I hope you are very proud of your self. As now I can safely remove your VA from my statistics. It makes my VA look very good indeed. Hope this does not offend anybody in particular.
Happy Flying

Sim rate 16x For people with very little time to do flights so add that you fly comcorde already flying at supersonic speeds then add the sim rate you go pretty fast.

As has always been the case, all issues like this need to be taken directly to the developers/staff via a support ticket that highlights the flight(s) in question, not just generic complaints.

He has done it on a few days. On Feb 11 he flew about 12 flight, all long hauls. Why? To get his name at the top of passengers and passenger miles? God help the rest of us who do it fairly.

I have started investigating this. The server does keep track of when the client requests the data to start the flight and when the flight report is recorded. And comparing that to some flights by one suspected pilot I can see that some flights recorded at 1x could not have been done in the time reported, but could have been done at 16x. How they are doing it I will not speculate publicly, but am working on a script that can go through the last few months of data, checking for flights that meet these conditions, and resetting the simrate on those flights.

After that I will be adding that test to our cheat detection system, but I have a few other things to do before I can get to that.

Go to it buddy,

But at the end of the day, they're only cheating themselves, which shows how really sad of those doing it must be.

If you look back on his flights, you can see that at least from Feb 5 his flights are iffy. He should be penalised for this scandal and so should his VA and his CEO.

Finished my script and ran it. It checked the last 90 days and reset the simrate on the flights it found. I'm not going to hit them financially, but I think going very high in the stats to the bottom is punishment enough. Besides I don't think they care much about the V$. They received a message saying which flights were modified and the CEO's of there airlines also received messages listing which pilots had issues.

If they are having fun flying all those flights good, if they found some hole that allows the simrate to not be recorded correctly, this at least stops that. I will continue to run my script periodically till I can get it integrated into the cheat detection system.
