Landing Guesstimator

❦ First Published on

The closest guess wins.

Formerly-known as the “Landing Rate Leaderboard”, the Landing Guesstimator is a mini-game you can play during HyperTextHero Microsoft Flight Simulator streams where you make wild, informed guesses about how hard the next landing will be.

To participate and guesstimate use the following command in chat during MSFS streams: !guess [-###] (remember the minus sign before the number).

Example: !guess -100 to guess a -100 feet per minute landing.

At the end of every season prizes are given to first, second, and third place. Anyone who wins a guess will eventually receive a sticker and, or, embroidered patch, if desired.

To keep things fresh and encourage others to participate, if you have already won 1st, 2nd, or 3rd 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 and winners influenced by it are marked with a heart and a ribbon like this: 💝

Although crashes usually mean a point is not awarded, HyperTextHero is the boss here and may bend the rules at times and decide to award a point to someone on a whim, depending on things like what he’s eaten for breakfast and the position of the moon and planets 🪐

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!
