Smooth the climb
A good takeoff has a defined shape. It also has a defined end. For an airliner that's thrust reduction and acceleration, commonly somewhere around 1,000 to 1,500 ft above the airfield depending on the operator, while for a light aircraft it's established at Vy with the flaps on schedule. Most simmers have no defined end to their takeoff, which is exactly why it never gets judged.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 2,603 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 2,603 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 842 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The flight in the DA42-VI began with a departure roll on runway 23 at ENGK Gullknapp. The takeoff distance was 1,791 ft, which was 43% of the runway length. The liftoff speed was 82 knots. The local weather at the time of departure was 46°F with a 2 knot wind coming from 305°, resulting in a crosswind of 2 knots and a headwind of 1 knot.
The enroute climb started overhead ENGK Gullknapp in Agder, Norway. The aircraft climbed from 720 ft above sea level to 3,861 ft above sea level, an increase of 3,141 ft in 4 minutes, covering a distance of 6 nm.
After reaching cruising altitude, the enroute level cruise began 6 miles northwest of ENGK Gullknapp and lasted 7 minutes, covering 17 nm.
The landing took place on runway 01 at ENFY Fyresdal Airfield, which had a runway length of 2,603 ft. The height at the threshold was 15 ft above ground level, and the speed at the threshold was 103 knots. The touchdown occurred 835 ft from the threshold with a touchdown speed of 91 knots and a vertical speed indicator reading of -124 ft/min. The local weather at the time of landing was 40°F with a 5 knot wind coming from 285°, resulting in a crosswind of 5 knots and a headwind of 1 knot. The total landing distance was 1,841 ft, which was 71% of the runway length.
The total flight distance for this journey was 47 nm, with a duration of 27 minutes. The aircraft used a total of 31 lbs of fuel during the flight.
