About Landing Rate addon.
Hi, i installed this nice feature with FlywithLua. But i dunno really what means as a rate "Butter". I know the translation but how it can be rated? Medium landing?
For me Great Landing is the best. Thx.

"Butter" is a smooth, perfect landing. I agree it could use different language. Check out the mod file using notepad, might be able to change that to any word you prefer.

Yes i know i can change it in my language for example. So, butter is supposed to be lower quality than Great landing?

"butter" is the best possible landing

It implies a very soft and neat landing. But it's only good when dry. On wet and slippery pavement, skidding and runway drift are possible.

I suggest reading this titled...

"Landing Rate is not a good indicator of how great your landings are. Here's why."

Well i don't know if it's accurate but i done a hard landing then a great one and the indication seems good every time. After i can understand it is not perfect and your advice about the replay is with no doubt good.

We used to say "greased" on those perfect landings so I know where the butter came from.

LOL today i had a great landing forgetting gears out. =)

By the way i done yesterday a landing rated "wasted" whereas my landing was smooth. The approach was very bad and too fast but in the end was pretty smooth at the touch moment. I watched replay also... So i think it's not really accurate Indeed.

No other landing addon available?

There are also times when you do not want to land 'smooth as butter'.

I found landing speed plugin (another one) and it seems maybe better.
(it doesn't use Flywithlua)
It can also be specific by plane.
