Thanks for the kind words about the Hype helicopter, I’m here as an user right now though - I just want to clarify my stance here isn’t as dev but as a consumer.
In terms of why they aren’t using the free data, I’m not sure - I don’t think Asobo would ignore it unless there’s a good reason they can’t use it.
There’s a few annoying areas to me that I wonder why they aren’t done well, but I just keep reminding myself that this stuff ain’t easy.
