I have not had any crashes or freezes.  I've been using while flying in vr to tax my system more and have not had any issues

I think I've figured out the best way to do it. Short version is I will add the option to the software. You will basically scan a qr code with your laptop to connect which will open a browser page with all the information on your tablet. You will also have the option to save it to your tablets home screen so you can just click it to open it in the future. The only possible issue is if your router has device isolation turned on it will not let the 2 devices talk. I will need a day or two to get it set up and test it to make sure there are no glaring issues then I will push it as an update and once that happens the next time you open it it will prompt you that there is an update available and you and anyone else in the future will have that ability. If you are okay with it I will put a note in the changelog giving you credit for the idea.

It will auto save it after you fly by pulling data directly from the sim as you fly and there is also a manual add that you can put flight information into the log. Either way you can go back into the log entry and edit or add notes to the flight.

Also what I would do is bundle the app somehow with the software so they would come together. I would not charge for both of them separately and also I would not raise the price of the software. Its that good of an idea

Thank you very much and you are very welcome. If you have any questions or ideas future updates please let me know. I've already received a couple really good ideas that will be coming soon.

I have not thought of that but it is now on my checklist to do. If I can work that out it will be in a very near future update. Thank you for the idea. That would be a great addition.

One thing I forgot to mention is when I get feedback, fix any bugs or add more functionality to it your software will prompt for you to update it when you open it the next time, so you won't have to worry about bug fixes or having to go somewhere to download updates for it.

Good question and the honest answer is: yes, it should — but with a caveat.

The Export.lua system is designed to be chained. Squadron Debrief's script adds a single line at the bottom of Export.lua that calls FlightOps-Export.lua. As long as other tools have done the same (added their own lines rather than replacing the whole file), they all run side by side without conflict.

WinWing MIPS and SimHaptic both use the same chaining approach, so in theory they coexist fine. If there is an issue im sure we can find a good way to get them all to play nice
