The rating system scores an aircraft (0-5) in four individual criteria - [[FDM]], Systems, Cockpit and External Model. These ratings can then be encoded in the aircraft -set.xml file from where they can be picked up by launchers, web pages etc. The sum of the scores in the four criteria provides an overall score from 0 to 20, which can be mapped to a textual overall aircraft status. | The rating system scores an aircraft (0-5) in four individual criteria - [[FDM]], Systems, Cockpit and External Model.
