Gees

In game landing analysis for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.

## Update Check out the new in-game panel – it's more convenient and comes with some cool updates. https://flightsim.to/product/gees-landing-analysis-for-msfs or https://secure.simmarket.com/gees-gees-msfs.phtml ## How to Install/Use? Download the latest release from [here](https://github.com/scelts/msfslandingrate/releases) (Assets -> File-that-is-not-source-code.zip). Unzip to your favorite location for MSFS2020 landing monitors, and start ```Gees.exe```. You'll see a window like this in the bottom right. ![Screenshot](img/app_screenshot.png "App screenshot") The app itself runs in the background, and you can find this status window in the status tray, as this icon: ![Trey Icon](img/tray_icon.png "Trey icon") That's it. When you start the sim the app will automatically connect and when you land, you'll get a window similar to this slide out top-left: ![Slider](img/slider.png "Slider") ![MSFS view](img/ingame.png "MSFS view") You can start it before, or after the MSFS, it doesn't matter. ## How to Uninstall? Delete the folder where the Gees.exe resides. ## What is measured? ### Descent rate at the landing in feet per minute Self explanatory. ### G force at the touchdown Maximum G force impact at the moment of touchdown. Should be in theory related to the descent rate, undercarriage dampers and how much the passengers are nervous. ### Airspeed and ground speed at the touchdown Self explanatory. ### Wind speed and direction at the touchdown There's a nice arrow, showing where the wind is blowing from ### Sideslip at the touchdown Did you do the proper de-crab maneuver, or the plane is going sideways on touchdown in the crosswind? The higher, the worse. Keep it close to 0 degrees or you might break the gear, or pop the tire (well, probably not in the sim). ### Bounces In cases where you want to land, but the plane says "nope, I'm still flying", all the measures are taken from the first touchdown, and all subsequent ones are counted as bounces. ## How to compile it It's a c# WPF application. You'll need a Visual Studio with .NET 4.7 and the following nuget libraries: ``` CTrue.FsConnect Octokit PrettyBin CsvHelper ``` ## Contact Use the [reddit page](https://www.reddit.com/r/MSFS2020LandingRate), or here, the [Issues page](https://github.com/scelts/msfslandingrate/issues) to report bugs and suggestions.
