There's already an auto-stop to the tracking - IIRC if you don't move significantly for 25 minutes it stops automatically. However, that means it does usually catch my drive home.
can anyone get the sharing profile (W& B ) to work?
I've tried to email the profile 2-3 times and I have not yet received any email. I've sent to myself, my wife, my gmail, etc. After i hit the send button, I hear the outgoing mail sound, but nothing is received.
I just tested it and it works on my end. Maybe you're outgoing mail server is blocking it? Maybe the link in the email to import onto a device is being seen as potentially malicious?
My link looks like this:
foreflightmobile://weightandbalance/profile?fileFormatVersion=13&aircraftDigest=0c9b3af9f346056bda20776cd69792877303a4c0&aircraftDigestIndex=0
There's also a link to the App Store and a PDF attachment with details of the W&B loading.
We shortened that to about 3 minutes and reset the auto stop timer if we detect additional movement.
Your sarcasm is misdirected. Not asking for free by any means. I have a fully paid subscription and would have found this to be a valuable addition. Instead, FF chose to offer this only to their premium customers.
This could have been a home run for FF. Instead, it left a lot of us feeling left in the cold.
Really. My excitement about the most recent version lasted about 30 seconds. I understand most of the other "pro" features but limiting W&B to a pro subscription. Come on.
I can understand paying for the pro version to get the geo-referenced approach plates and the associated plates on map feature, but not including functionality like W&B and hazard alerting
I know there are development costs etc - but two tier pricing for safety of flight items - that's just plain wrong.

They could just include everything and make the base price $150/yr.
Would that make you feel less "left out in the cold?"
Why is it wrong for a private business to charge for providing a service. Why do you think they owe you anything other than a good product for a fair price.I can understand paying for the pro version to get the geo-referenced approach plates and the associated plates on map feature, but not including functionality like W&B and hazard alerting

35 to 150 AMUs for an aircraft spent willingly.
$150 and up to fill the tanks of with fuel, depending on tank capacity and how many gallons we are replacing. Spent willingly.
And yet we sit on this board squabbling over the price of a nice meal plus 2 drinks each at a nice restaurant with our friends or sweetheart.
Us pilots are an interesting bunch.
How long before we see a logbook feature integrated into FF?
Soon it will be like Google...I will just hop in the plane and it will just KNOW where I wanna go!
...unfortunately I will probably have listen to a 30 second ad before being able to obtain the ATIS.
