- New penalty Navigation lights off
- New penalty altitude below 500ft
- New penalty hard landing.
- New option to disable all minor penalties (10% reduction in rating).

- Fixed bug that caused client to crash when network connection lost.
- Fixed some issues with cheat detection that in one case was too aggressive, and tried to close a recently discovered whole.
- X-Plane Plugin for windows!, FSX/FS9 plugin may also be working but more testing is needed.
v.2.2.0.b9 2017/05/20
- Fixed two bugs in X-Plane Plugin, verified working in X-Plane 11
- Fixed some issues (again) with cheat detection that in one case was too aggressive, and tried to close a recently discovered whole.

Hi Joe,
Thank you - looking forward to the penalty revisions. Would like to get that LearJet in the air without the penalty
Cheers,
Scott

Re: Client Beta 2.2.0
Great work Joe!
But small bug in 2.2.0.b4 - new client ignore events from my blackbox.xml

Re: Client Beta 2.2.0
Unfortunately, using the FSLabs A320, I found out the Parking Brake Penalty is back...wasn't that supposed to have been removed?
Other than that, great work again

Re: Client Beta 2.2.0
Taking into account the new penalty for not using navigation lights, shouldn't the status of the nav ligths detected by the client be shown in the "Debug Information" section?

Re: Client Beta 2.2.0
That is an excellent idea and it will be in the next beta. I have set aside a block of time Sunday for working on the client, I forgot to read the navigation light status in the simconnect module and need to finish that up, along with some better text for the landing light penalties. All goes well I will have beta 5 ready by Monday.ramon.cutanda wrote:Taking into account the new penalty for not using navigation lights, shouldn't the status of the nav ligths detected by the client be shown in the "Debug Information" section?

Re: Client Beta 2.2.0
Beta 5 released.
The FSX and FS9 plug in's still don't work so please don't try to use them.

Re: Client Beta 2.2.0
maybe the client should give you 5% bonus for a very good landing as well as penalty for bad landing
just a suggestion

Re: Client Beta 2.2.0
I do like the idea of a 5% plus for a "very good" landing, however I think the awards for doing multiple perfect flights is still a good enough incentive to fly well every time.
As you get closer to the next award it is more hair raising to do well for each flight and one slip up can make you start again, This, is enough to keep many people trying harder overall

Re: Client Beta 2.2.0
Not certain about a 'bonus', or having a rating greater than 100%, we could always do -0% for very good, -5% for average and -10% for bad

Re: Client Beta 2.2.0
ok so i've flown with the new client before but had the minor penalties disabled. now i have them enabled to avoid the 10% penalty and now after i hit the fly button to actually start the flight after fueling up and all, it crashes my sim as soon as it starts tracking.....

Re: Client Beta 2.2.0
maybe a new Beta-6 don't send to server information about active flight?
(Win XP| SimConnect | FSX SP2)
I retured to departure airport and change client to stable version. Tomorow i can do flight with Beta-6 to view more about this bug
p.s. blackbox.xml reading - OK

Re: Client Beta 2.2.0
Ok, i fixed my issue by running it as admin outside of fsx. and it's appears to be tracking properly through the client, but not showing up on the FSA map and my account still shows flight booked instead of enroute and the my signature photo still says in hangar.
Re: Client Beta 2.2.0
It also appears that it is not penalizing me for landing lights on above 10K or off below 10K?
