Brief description of the issue:
ENRA landing challenge always shows ground roll: 0ft, and unsure if scoring for that is actually correct. It seems low.
Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:
Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:
Fly the WU15 ENRA Rossvoll landing challenge (Epic landing challenges). See that Ground roll distance is always 0ft and it seems excessively difficult to get a full score on that line.
PC specs and/or peripheral set up if relevant:
Build Version # when you first started experiencing this issue:
1.34.16

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:
I also had one touchdown on this with 76 fpm and still scored under 100 for landing smoothness. Also the touchdown zone seems to be in a slight downslope which will affect smoothness negatively.
Yes something is strange here.
I also always get the 0 ft ground roll, and get bad marks for my landing smoothness, even if I landed at 150 fpm.
The scoring is wacky on this one.
There is definitely a problem with the scoring of this challenge. Aside from the ground roll distance showing 0 ft., the score received seems much lower than one would expect. I just completed the challenge and nailed the ground roll, staying tight to the line the whole way (and I struggle with ground roll so I know when I’ve nailed it), yet only received 2,948 points. My landing smoothness was 94 fpm and my score was only 85 points. For comparison, I had a landing smoothness at CYTZ of 93 fpm and received a score of 174 points.
In case you’re wondering, I take a screenshot every time I improve on my score in a landing challenge because on several challenges MSFS doesn’t remember my high score and just shows my latest score as my highest, or worse, just shows zero, so I have to keep track of my progress myself. Incidentally, this challenge is one of them. Unfortunately the developers don’t seem interested in fixing it. It’s been a know issue for a few years, but if you submit it to Zendesk you get an automated reply that the issue is resolved.
The first image is score from ENRA, the second from CYTZ.
The problem can be fixed. The LandingChallengeType Bush is evaluated incorrectly in the simulator. To fix the problem, a small intervention is required:
open the microsoft-landingchallenge-enra-rossvoll.FLT in the folder .[MSFS2020}\Official\OneStore\microsoft-landingchallenge-enra-rossvoll\Missions\Microsoft\LandingChallenge\microsoft-landingchallenge-enra-rossvoll with a text editor.
find the block [ObjectFile].
change the line “File=Missions\Asobo\LandingChallenges\default\LandingChallenge_Bush” to “File=Missions\Asobo\LandingChallenges\default\LandingChallenge_Private”
save the file and restart the simular.
I have tried it out and am currently in first place in the top 10. You will soon be able to outdo me
Thanks for this! After a dozen and a half attempts at it prior to your fix, finally checked the forums and found your post. Sorry to say that you’ve left me in first place with this haha. Feels so unnatural being at the top with only 1.4m score.
But it is possible, see here: Help and Support (en-US).
Once you have found the Community folder, go back to the “Packages” folder. There you will also find the “Official” folder. There you can find the folder "OneStore\microsoft-landingchallenge-enra-rossvoll" and edit the file.
