Hi guys, I want to start off by saying I am a big fan of FR24 and have been using your services (including app) for many years (since 2010 or earlier at least).
As my favourite flight finding website, I always enjoy seeing updates from you guys on twitter and was really looking forward to this update.
However, I must say, I am actually disappointed by your "improvements". When I first opened the site up, it took ages to load, I thought perhaps FR24 is down or something but when it did eventually load I was pleasantly surprised to see a very nice looking brand new interface (I guess your having temporary load issues with the new release).
But then it goes all downhill from there, I click on a aircraft and it doesn't respond or takes forever to load. When the aircraft does appear, I see you have included some new data features for your new premium packages, like aircraft age. This is very nice, however I don't understand why you have robbed functionality from the previous versions, such as the following features:
- Squawk Code locked.
- Vertical Speed locked.
- Aircraft Labels now only lets me select 1 label (as if the already limited 2 labels was not enough).
Then if we look further back at previous updates, there used to be a time where we could playback aircrafts up to 30 days, that number has gradually decreased and now I believe it's something like 7 days, I used to love coming back from my holidays which usually lasted longer than 7 days and be able to see the history of my outbound aircraft leg.
So the reason I am posting this is just to express how frustrating this is for a regular user, above I have listed some of the functionalities that have been taken away since FR24 has upgraded, but there are still more features that have disappeared that I have not listed. Personally, I would rather prefer to have those features back rather than have a new interface/feature in exchange for the old ones. What gives FR24 :(, why can't you do a upgrade without robbing away old features.
