There are some things I don't like about the various challenges (or maybe I'm not looking in the right place)

For one, it tells you that you're position X (in one challenge I was in 600th place).
Is that good or bad? 600 out of 700 total is bad, 600 out of 20k is very good. But the game doesn't tell you this, just says 600th.
My suggestion would be to instead of some arbitrary meaningless number like "you're in position 9000th" it should show a graph similar to the distribution of IQ scores and your position.
That way you would be able to strive at getting better than the average, rather than getting better than the listed top 10 on the whole internet who have god-like abilities and is unattainable to achieve.

My second suggestion would be to add your best landing score on top of the challenge icon, to have a much neater overview of which ones you aced, still didn't do and which ones you could focus on perfecting. Right now I don't know how to see my past scores except my very last landing after doing it.

My third idea would be to just do away with the actual score number and just show the 3 graphs you're scored on, because that score number, I don't know how it's calculated, I don't know what scores are considered good or bad, It's completely meaningless to me.

I don't have the new sim, but isn't one of the score criteria the feet per minute descent rate on landing?

Getting close to zero fpm can be detrimental in the real world for landing planes so I don't think one should aim for that for example.
