Landing Guesstimator

❦ First Published on Monday, 3 May, 2021
❧ Edited 24 June, 2024

A game you can play during Microsoft Flight Simulator streams where you guess how hard HyperTextHero’s next landing will be.

To play: type !guess -### (remember the minus sign before the number) during a livestream. Example: !guess -100 to guess a -100 feet per minute landing.

Anyone who wins a guess will eventually receive an embroidered patch, once these are ready, if desired. And At the end of each season prizes¹ are given as follows:

Gold 🥇 Choose an airplane or flying machine to be added to the HyperTextHero redeemable points list so it can be called by chat to fly into the stream.

Silver 🥈 Select a number to be added to the custom cheer bit list so that a video or image and sound related to the number can be summoned by chatters.

Bronze 🥉 Choose a theme for a redeemable points video or emote that can be made to appear by conversationalists.

Crashes mean a point is not awarded, though HyperTextHero may bend rules and give one anyway depending on humour, what he’s eaten for breakfast, and the position of moons and planets.

All Time Scoreboard

HyperTextHero’s streaming base is currently on the northern hemisphere of Earth, which explains the seasons.

Thank you to SimToolkitPro for making this possible!

If you know of a way to calculate landing FPM in DCS World, IL-2 Great Battles, and War Thunder, please let me know so we can do Landing Guesstimator in those sims, too!

💝 Prior to April 2023 the following rule, kept here for historical reference, was in effect. It no longer applies: To keep things fresh and encourage others to participate, if you have already won 1^st, 2^nd, or 3^rd place before and win one of these again, your prize will be given in your name to stream viewers as subscriptions or to a charity. This rule is the “Wild Generosity Stipulation” (in memory of WildCraze), and winners affected by it are marked with a heart and a ribbon like this: 💝 ↩︎
