I stopped supporting OLC when they made some silly rule changes last year and would not listen to feedback. When I was asked to renew my support, I replied that I will once they will at least reply to my feedback. I am still waiting...
I also did not receive a reply why only registered users can view the google map option. It used to be that it was available to all, so you could share your flight with non pilots who can only understand it on google map, but no more.
Feedback on RAS wouldn't do either, since neither OLC nor SSA-OLC are paying any attention to RAS.
