Badges and diplomas validation, controls are too strict???
Posted: Tue Oct 24, 2006 12:50 pm
Hi,
Several guys got some problems to validate their performance, my system has detected changes in flight plan parameters and because I would like that every one has exactly the same chance, the only change allowed is the plane model (within the defined class) and characteristic (water and skin).
Here are the common parameters used for badge and diploma:
- No thermal helpers
- Turnpoint helpers allowed (to compensate the lack of map, silver badge only)
- No PDA (silver badge only)
- No padlock view
- No external view
- No plane recovery
- No height recovery
- No mid-air collision recovery
- No penalty for cloud flying (take your responsibilities!)
- Start by aerotow (500 m) or winch.
Like for "Best-time", the system checks also if any parameter has been modified. One of recurrent problems is guys changing "delay before race start" or the delay before start window closes.
Because the weather can be different if you wait (ie a thermal appears near the runway after 10 min) and facilitate your start, I don't accept modification of these parameters too.
BUT, in multiplayer game, you can set Time to join limit from 1 minute to 1 hour, impacting the weather condition at start.
My question is: should I accept change in parameters to be more flexible? If yes, which one?
Thanks for your participation!
