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

Its very good. Tho I feel like it does have some kind of impact on game-performance, is there any way to make it less graphically intense, just like a little window and not with that animation, is that possible to do?

I love this app, works like a charm and is quite fun to check on.
I though have a question : how does it calculate the fpm?
Because all different apps (neofly, simtoolkit, etc...) show a different rate for same landing.
And sometimes at a higher fpm rate, i get 0.85 G, when at a lower fpm I get 1.3G which seems a bit odd.
Thanks for any info provided.

probably those transmission rate aren't the same,for instance,like navigraph,feedback is 1s(just ur aircraft isn't moving real time on map,it's a visible lag),same like volanta(u don't get ur next aircraft movement till maybe 10s),it kinda like average velocity and instantaneous velocity,or it could just be the math lol

very interesting thing. thanks for this.
but I noticed that sometimes with crj the landing fix does not always work. she sees the simulator, connected, but does not jump out when she lands, but this is not always the case. usually when you launch it shortly before landing, it fixes. if it hangs in the background for a long time, then with crj sometimes for some reason it doesn’t. But I don't think it's worth downgrading. very interesting thing. although I use other resources for tracking fpm landings, they don't have overload estimation. also i use pacx and it needs fsuipc and fsairlines via simconnect. (since fsuipc is busy with another process, fsairlines via fsuipc does not want to work simultaneously with pacx. I probably overload the connections, maybe that's why there are some difficulties. 23 landings, but with crj turned on several times, but only one landing was recorded.

Great little tool! Only thing I be missing is that you could make the app to start automatically at windows startup, have forgotten to turn it on so many times, often when I do the butter landings of course 😀

Very nice and feature rich but unfortunately incorrectly named. It is not in-game but a separate application and thus doesn't work in VR. But I wish I could use it cause its awesome.
