Gees
In game landing analysis for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
Update
Bouncing after landing is now detected + G's a bit higher + Hide button + A bug fix.
For changelogs, please check the releases.
How to Install/Use?
Download the latest release from here (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.
The app itself runs in the background, and you can find this status window in the status tray, as this 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:
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).
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

Great tool! Will you update so the results can be seen in VR! Thanks!

Very useful little tool with some minor issues. For example I´d prefer to have an option to disable the white line on left side of my screen. Apart from that, it´s a nice little program to have.
Well done!

Decent app with huge potential. Couple of things: 1. Could you please make an option to disable the blue line on the top left of the screen? That is an immersion killer for me. 2. I found that sometimes the scorecard would pop in and out in the middle of a flight in the air randomly for a half second or so.

"How many passengers are nervous"
How do you know if they are nervous?
Are they glass?
I did a -78 FPM touchdown with the Cub and it said "2.06G"
As I mentioned many times - I'm not inventing the G's, but reading them out from the sim. I have no control over the things that are not simulated well, or if there's a glitch during the landing or whatever.
There's a disparity definitely between the G's and FPM's sometime. I would say that the second is more often wrong than the first. But G's also are not accurate sometimes, especially for the taildraggers.
Also - G's are not just vertical. Also lateral/roll force is counted. So it might be that.

Hi, its really good but i thik that the G is too high.
It is only my opinion.
Thanks for that app :)

hi - i love this, nice and simple. But like some others I find it sometimes does not register my landings even though its running.
Not sure what else to say - operating with the latest version and latest MSFS. Started before the recent patches.

Can you update this plugin please? It no longer works with the latest update. I've opened it while i was in the air, on the ground before take off, on the ground before taxi and when I land it does nothing. This is a great tool to have so I would like if i could continue using it.
Was there any other change to your system besides the game update. Antivirus, firewall... And more importantly: do you have other (out of the game, simconnect) addons (exe apps), and do they still work?

Super easy to use, delightful little piece of software. Runs in the tray and pops up right at the moment of landing with it's judgy little synopsis ready to make you feel bad about all your hard work. Why did you have to give it a smiley-face-to-upset-face rating for g-load? Now I'm constantly seeking it's approval with every touchdown! (Please say you're proud of me, Gees.exe! No! Ur sad! I'll be better, I promise I can change etc).
Love the fact it writes the data as a little excel file and can show you in app. Don't know if it's possible to get it to pick up which airport/runway you landed at? That would be cool to record as well. Oh and maybe a little skin option to change the colour preferences of the UI? No big, it's good fun as it is!

I'm trying to run this remotely on a network PC by editing the SimConnect.cfg file but everytime I run your mod, the SimConnect.cfg is overwritten and goes back to default. Is there any way to use a custom SimConnect.cfg file to run this in a networked setup? Thanks.

doesnt works after restarting the game, its need to restart again
I think with the next addon update I will re do this completely to run in-game - like my other (FSPM VFR map) project

A very good mod. But I have a question that the G load is high(I think this landing is good but it says 2 Gs.)
