Hello ,
Why is it not indicated that this software is paid for in the description?
Moreover this software became paid for without any prior warning, I had plenty of recorded flight plans that are lost now .
I would like to know how many people who used free FlightShare have designed a paid faith .

I just updated the description. I actually had forgot about this site. Thanks for the input.

I have never downloaded this mod. Why do I have some runways in the sim that have this Flight Share logo plastered all over them, ruining my custom scenery? Has this logo been snuck into dependency package addons? If so, please let me know which so I can remove them, it is ruining my simming experience. Thanks.

This is odd. It could be due to a scenery mod you might have installed that may be using our scenery files? Hard to say without digging in deep. Contact on discord if problem persists and you want help.

Again a payware disguised in Freeware. Disinstalled totally today

I don't think it says freeware anywhere but let me know and I will update it. Microsoft servers are not freeware so we have to pay for those every single month. Because of that we ask for $2 a month to help. Otherwise it is just an expense of ours to pay for your hobby. :)

Hello to the whole community.
Superb utility that I have been using since the beginning.
For some time when I am on autopilot the altitude does not work anymore.
before in automatic the plane climbed or descended according to the altitude programmed in my Waypoints on FlightShare, idem on the Landing, the plane does not respect any more the change of automatic altitude.
I wonder if it's because of my MFSIM settings.
Thank you

Hello, would it be possible to run this program on a secondary PC on a LAN?

One of the greatest Flight Planner for a beginner like me. I love it and have learned much about flying in general. Please update this version as soon as you can and thanks!

Excellent and badly needed app for MSFS, thank you!
Subscribed to support development.
One suggestion, perhaps you could allow for editing the coordinates of waypoints after they are created. And also reduce the accuracy of the turns to be less than the 1 mile as it currently stands.
2 years ago
You can set the precision of each waypoint. A higher precision value will create a tighter turn. Just be aware that your plane might not be able to make it. For waypoints, you can drag drop as needed to move around. While you can't enter specific coordinates on the waypoints you can on Favorites. Will note request though.

Maybe I'm just too lazy, but it seems like the waypoint section gets overflown by different not really interesting routes (DRUUUUGS e.g.); maybe it would be nice to find the official bush trip waypoints a little easier or seperated from the user plans. Anyhow, a real great program!

The flight plans that you are referring to are just those that other users wish to share with the community. Feel free to create some to your liking and share back. :)

Thanks for this awesome add-on, that I've been using for a couple of months now!
I recently re-installed my Windows OS, and after that when I run Flight Share, it doesn't show the Wapoints of many flights, that I had saved earlier from within Flight Share. I am using the same UserName that I was using previously in FlightShare.
Where are these Wapoints saved by Flight Share?
Are they not on the FlightShare server? Please help me.

Update- I''ve just now contacted Pico on Discord, and he resolved my problem in real time while I was chatting with him! Thanks a lot Pico!
Now that's what I call really superb support from the creator of an add-on!!
KUDOS AND GOD BLESS YOU MATE!

Can you please consider making this an app that we can buy instead of the subscription model? Importing Simbrief flight plans is awesome, but I don't want to pay every month for that one extra feature. I would gladly buy this app with a once off fee to get the extra 2% of features. But, most importantly, thank you very much for this app!!!!
3 years ago
It's something I have considered but the problem is the monthly server costs...Those fees don't go away for me unless we remove the core features of multiplayer functionality/flight tracking, etc.

Two questions: Not seeing donuts or cones in the sky, even though I have them selected. 2nd: I am at Cadet status. How to get this recognized within FlightShare ??
3 years ago
Make sure you have the proper community folder location set under settings. To get the upgrade I need your pilot name in FlightShare (sent you an email).
