The points are calculated per section, so average altitude over the whole run isn’t important.

The F/A18 responds to keyboard inputs really slowly, is this normal?
I believe sections 7,8,9 I did just that. I now know its all about altitude!
I think the thing that caught me off guard was the time difference. I figured the faster time might help on the sections I went higher. I guess these runs really are make or break on altitude.
Yeah, otherwise you’d just go straight on full AB! Time has some weight on the final score, but marginal. Like 5% max I think.

Why do the Top Gun DLC activities become unavailable when you turn off Online Functionality?

Because this is a The Last Starfighter situation where the DLC is secretly reporting your score back to the Navy to see if you have the skill to fly actual missions for them.

Is the Ghost our last best run or just a theoric good performance made by Asobo ? Anyone has observed it compared to last run?
The first time it is a relatively low score placeholder run. After that It is a ghost of your high score run.

I would love to have more missions/challenges (canyons or others) from Asobo or the community. I think the potential is big

Is there a way for the ghost plane to not ‘lose its wings’ after a certain distance and turn it into a solid plane too? And how about an option to remove the ‘Ghost’ nameplate?
For everyone that is missing the aircraft carrier in freeflight, we made an addon that adds functional, moving carriers to several locations: https://flightsim.to/file/35879/moving-aircraft-carrier-with-lso-arresting-cables-and-catapults

As far as I understand, the first time you do a run it’s some generic pre recorded thing (not super fast but kind of medium skill) then after you complete a run the next time you do that same level, it will be your own best attempt replayed.

There must be a lot of teams if every single topic is done by another team. I wonder what the AI team is doing all the time? But I suppose the team that does the runway vacation doesn‘t do the approach handling, right?

That’s exactly right, yes. Modern games of this scale take hundreds of thousands of man hours and hundreds of people to create.

It is YOUR best score. Before that, it is just a place holder that is easy to beat.
always the “GO” on the screen !
impossible to play
Hello @BB5479,
Please ensure “Menu Animations” is set to “On” in General Options > Accessibility. This will resolve the issue of the countdown not disappearing.
Thanks,
