        Hello,

        Can someone explain to me how the total score in logbook career section is calculated ?

        Thanks in advance,
        Musashi.

        Ranks: (reference Total Score)
        Lt : 150
        Capt : 300
        Major : 800 and a campaign completed
        Lt Col : 1600 and a campaign not lost
        Col : 3200 and a campain won

        Medals:
        You get a: AIR_FORCE_CROSS if
        You have 9600 medal points and a realism setting of .9 (90) or higher.
        Mission points of 4 or more.

        You get a: SILVER_STAR if
        You have 7800 medal points and a realism setting of .7 (70) or higher.
        Mission points of 4 or more.

        You get a: DIST_FLY_CROSS if
        You have 6000 medal points and a realism setting of .5 (50) or higher.
        Mission points of 4 or more.

        You get a: AIR_MEDAL if
        You have 4800 medal points and a realism setting of .5 (50) or higher.
        Mission points of 4 or more.

        Rating:
        Mission Rating Average: 0-5 ( 5 is every mission flown excellent). 4.2-5.0 is good pilot

        Consecutive: (missions flown in a row without death)
        100 missions without dying = Longlivity Medal

          My consecutive was broken the other night after a partially successful mission. Started thinking it might be recording “consecutive successful missions”.

            Hi guys,

            As we are on the subject: can anyone explain the logbook to me?

            What is the"Ace factor"?
            What is the difference between “Total score” and “Last mis pts”?
            What do the 3 numbers after Campaign mean? 0/0/0
            How are the “Rating” and the “Kill ratio” calculated?

            I short: when R U considered to be “good pilot”? 😄

            Thx

              On the piece of logbook you can see that I’ve just a total score of 26 but I’m already 1st Lt.
              All mission are recorded for score ? campaign and TE ? single flight and MP ?

                Correct me if I’m wrong.

                Ace Factor = Last Mission Points divided by Missions

                Consecutives are fubar always have been from day one Falcon 4.0. You get tagged for a bogus online kill for no apparent reason, I got one the other day. The only way to get the Consecutive madal is to back up you logbook and replace it when the consecutives are set to zero for no reason.

                Total score is the score for your next promotion.

                IIRC, my AFC’s took 6 AA kills and over 35 Ground kills give or take on Ace and landed jet.

                  Ace Factor = Last Mission Points divided by Missions

                  I think this is wrong, with my last example it’s
                  campaign-> rating = Last Mission Points divided by Missions (3.375 = 108 / 32)

                        How are the medal points calculated? I mean, is a T-90 more medal points worth than a T-34 and a Mig-29 is more worth than a Mig-19? Or is the calculation simple based on the numbers of shot down aircrafts or destroyed ground forces (regardless their types)?

                          Has anyone ever achieved the rank of General? Before you say it does not exist, I beg to differ. I think it is hidden, I just have no idea on how to get it.

                          A couple years ago, like someone already mentioned here, I use the logeditor to edit when I lose flight hours due to CTDs, or consec missions when I lose them from stupid reasons? Anyway… While doing this I fired up Falcon, and achieved the rank of general, as there was a star and it said rank of General. As I knew this was an error, I redited my rank to Col, and still to date have not achieved general rank. And this is the same logbook from 1998 with thousands of hours, missions, kills, tons of medals, and tons of won campaigns with no losses. I just cannot seem to get this rank back??

                            Hello,

                            For those who understand French, a document explaining score/ranks.
                            Thank you to the author (I don’t know who is)

                              musashi78, thank you for the link! It seems the medal points are quite complicated calculated…

                                Yes I achieved General the other day, funny you should mention it. I got the blue handshake screen that said Brig. General. However my logbook put me back to Lt. Col from Col. It seems to be fubar.

                                  Thank you to the author (I don’t know who is)“”

                                  It is not for Falcon 4 but for ALLIED FORCE, but may be it is the same

                                  But
                                  i would like to know why, even if the last mission is successful and if I leave BMS after a new flight, I often return with O consecutive missions?

                                        I got Brig. Gen the other day. It does not go in your logbook, but you get the handshake after the mission.

                                        Its an old bug that goes back to the original Falcon 4.0. It gives you an arbitrary self kill/online kill every so often for no reason. The only way to get the Consec medal is to save your logbook and back it up every time this happens.

My impression of why I survived is that here I am, with the radar cross-section the size of Mount Rushmore, and here are these Iraqi SAM missile operators going, 'Cease fire, Cease fire, don´t shoot! Here´s two dumb Mike Foxes at 20,000 feet and 200 knots-you know, must be Iraqi, hold fire, hold fire!' I think that´s the only thing that saved us"

                                            Not true… 😄 General Hornier (Spelling) back in the day while commanding the USAF had his own personal Viper he would fly and really hyped up the Vipers during OPDS.
