Landing table sorting fix

A bug fix to repair incorrect sorting in the table.

Check the new, in-game Gees panel (payware, but no more starting the exe files) with some new features, such as landing location and instant replay functionality.
Don't worry, I'll still support the freeware app, probably even more than in the past few years, but all the "fancy" features will be in the in-game app. Some of them simply cannot be made using the external standalone applications.

I know you don't really read these, but spare a minute, there's something about the logs
*Thanks for the feedback, it's very useful! Keep it going.

New Features

Bouncing the plane on landing is counted now as a bounce, and not as a new landing.

If you are landing like this, you won't get 5 average landings anymore, you'll get one with 4 bounces. This required some changes in the interface:

  • You have bounce field now in the display
  • Auto-close timer is now also the "bounce" timer, meaning that you have this amount of time to have the plane rolling before the app will start to check for a new landing.
  • There is also a bounce parameter in the log.
  • The log is updated to v3, to have the bounces: you still have the old landings accessible in Documents\MyMSFS2020Landings-Gees\landings.v2.csv, but they are not shown in the app

Landing detection much more sensitive

To accommodate this new bounces, and to try to fix the bug where the app did not detect landings sometimes, I made the landing detection to be much more sensitive - previously, you needed to have the wheels firmly on the ground for 100ms to be "landed". Now, you need to just touch the ground.

G's a bit higher

All for this bouncing - G's are now not average G force over time, but maximum impact (by sim frame). The values will be higher.

Hide button

There's a button you can use to hide the app without quitting. You know if you needed it.

Sidebar color

For all of ye that once you see something you cannot unsee it, the bar is thinner and more sky coloured. I can't remove it completely and still have it accessible by mouse click, so I think this is better than having a floating button somewhere.

Bugs

I think the bug where when you start the app before the MSFS, it does not detect the landing, so you have to re-start etc... is fixed. Not sure though since this thing works pretty well when I try it, and then later it doesn't. And I need like 5 mins to start the freaking game for each of these "tests"...

Landing rates are read from the sim itself

Major update under the hood

The landing rate should now reflect the landing rates calculated in-game, in the landing challenges.
It is read from the sim directly.

How to install:

Download the Gees_1.0.0.zip, unzip, and run Gees.exe

0.3.2 Regional Fix for log table and data

If you're upgrading from 0.2.0, see the https://github.com/scelts/gees/releases/tag/0.3.1 changelog.

Users who had European regional format in Win (comma decimal 1,23 instead of dot 1.23) had the log data wrongly displayed and saved. This patch should fix this.
Unfortunately, this will use a different filename for landings log (Landings.v2.csv). The old ones will still be in the Landings folder (v1), but won't be shown in the app.

0.3.1: New features + Bug Fixes (+Changed to WPF)

Note: If you are from a non-US region, there's a chance that the log file is messed up (if the PC shows 1,25G (comma) instead of 1.25G (dot)). I'll fix this in the next version, but you'll lose the previous landings in the log.

How to update:
Delete the previous app folder, download the new zip, unzip, and run the new version.
This is a major release, so there might be some breaking changes. If it doesn't run, please revert back to 0.2.0, and report the problem here, on Reddit, or on flightsim.to
If you managed to download and "try" the 0.3.0 in the 2 mins it was up, let's pretend this didn't happen

New Features:

  • Nicer animations, works well on al Windows DPI settings.
  • You can choose the duration of the popup before the auto-close, or don't do auto-close at all
  • You can always revoke the popup with the last data, by going with the mouse in the top left part of the screen. A tiny line will be visible there.
  • There is now a landing history, stored in Documents\MyMSFS2020Landings-Gees as .csv file

Bug Fixes:

  • No more wonky layouts on different "Scale and Layout" settings. I moved the code from 2001 to 2020
  • There should not be a false landing triggered when you go back to the main menu in mid-flight.

Just download, extract and start. It should run in the background, connect automatically to the sim, and show you the landing details.
Please keep in mind it's still early in the development, so do report bugs.
And share the log.txt in the folder, when it crashes.

Alpha, testing version
