New Feature: Type VA Rank Updatges

Post by AMA141 » Thu Jun 25, 2020 1:24 pm

Very cool Joe, investigating.

How would I do in automation what I now do on manual:

new trainee: TR rating on set of aircraft A. Has to to a 95% rating on 8 TR flights.
Air Taxi pilot: normal rating on set of aircraft A. Has to make 25 flights total for next level.
Regional trainee: TR rating on set of aircraft B, normal rating on set of aircraft A. Has to do a 95% rating on 8 TR flights on set B aircraft.
Regional Pilot: normal rating on aircraft sets AB, Has to make 100 flights total for next level.
International Trainee: TR rating on set of aircraft C, normal rating on aircraft sets AB. Has to do a 95% rating on 8 TR flights on set C aircraft.
International Pilot: normal rating on aircraft sets ABC, Has to make 500 flights total for next level.
Intercontinental Trainee: TR rating on set of aircraft D, normal rating on aircraft sets ABC. Has to do a 95% rating on 8 TR flights on set D aircraft.
Intercontinental Pilot: normal rating on aircraft sets ABCD.

The 8 TR flights start at EDDL, go across Europa with the 8th ending at EDDL again.
How would I go about to implement this in the new automation? Note that I also can not select EDDL in the "return to base" field and dont know why.

The airports you can select in 'return to base' are limited the bases for each of your fleets, which you already have with your EU fleet. You do have to enter the number of flights and/or hours before the other promotion fields turn on. I did just find a bug where the check boxes for selecting which flights were required for advancement would not turn themselves on to be edited if the TR was already selected and automatic promotion was turned on.

When you said 'Note that I also can not select EDDL in the "return to base"' is it that the drop down was not enabled or that EDDL was not in the list?

Hi Joe,

I got the base to return to figured out, was an error on my part with base of fleet set incorrect.

I think I set it up correctly, is that something you could check?

I took a look at it and for the most part they look fine, although it seems like you have selected all the aircraft marked as 'required' aircraft for advancement are also all the aircraft selected for type ratings. For instance you said:
International Trainee: TR rating on set of aircraft C, normal rating on aircraft sets AB. Has to do a 95% rating on 8 TR flights on set C aircraft.
But for #4 International Trainee the list of type ratings is identical to the list of Required aircraft for promotion.

BTW, I would rather these kind of discussions not happen in the announcement threads so I split these off and will lock the announcement thread.
