There are two themes treated before. I will insist on them:
- The real weather, date and time must be an option. It is absurd that on Arizona on August noon, there are 3ºC of temperature (and similar things).
- The landing zone depends on the runway lenght, the wind, the aircraft, and also where is the platform. Thus, may be valid to land on the numbers or at half lenght of the runway (leaving it properly). Don't evaluate where is the landing, instead evaluate how is the landing (vertical speed).
I think this program has a great potendial. I will wait until this potential was developed to come back to it.
Kind regards.

Thanks for the feedback Rolo. I'm currently looking in to Fly the Line giving you complete freedom with regards to date and time. Touchdown zone was always there to help you focus on not just greasing it but making sure you hit the touchdown zone and get a decent sink rate. This can be challenging but there's meant to be a challenge element to it. I get your point about all the dependencies. It's a fine line between realism, challenge and fun. This can be quite hard to balance. Maybe as we go forwards there will be ways to to adjust this to suit each user.
