FAQ

Is Ogoy free?

You can create your account for free. And I will keep the basic functionality free, too. But Map data isn't free. Ayvri is offline because they couldn't afford to pay for the data usage without any paying users. I don't intend to make big money off this platform, but I need to pay the bills and, if possible, get paid for at least some of the the time I invest into this project. So if you like Ogoy, please consider getting a subscription. It makes a big difference for me. See Pricing for more details.

Why do I need an account?

Is it really that big of a deal? It just makes a lot of things so much easier for me. Some boring tech stuff about security or abuse protection. Also, it makes it a lot easier to conform with EU privacy regulations. And it's necessary to make my pricing system work. However, with the Ultimate subscription or by spending some credits, you can make your scene available without login.

I want to share my flights with someone who doesn't have an account

When creating a scene, just make sure the top left icon is a globe icon public instead of the account icon account_circle. This will cost you 1 credit per 3 tracks within a scene. And with the Ultimate subscription, it's free for up to 3 tracks per scene. If you have bigger scenes you want to be accessable without login on a regular basis, please contact me for a custom plan, I might be able to give you a discount.

Ich kann kein Englisch (I don't speek english)

Leider geht nicht alles aufs mal. Übersetzungen sind aber auf dem Plan. Allerdings ist Mehrsprachigkeit aktuell nicht die höchste Priorität. Bis dahin: Versuche es mal mit einem Übersetzungstool im Browser.

What can we expect in the future?

It's just me. One single developer. And I am just doing this as a hobby. I've spent far over a thousand hours to get the project this far and do not expect to get paid for that at all. However, I have a ton of ideas to incorporate and if I am not the only one who likes this page, I might implement a lot of features in the future. Let's just see.

I want feature X

Good for you! And maybe - just maybe, I like the idea. So just use the feedback form and send it to me. Or do you want to help me implement it? I can't pay you but I might use your code - just in case you want that. But get in touch before you start coding...

What is a Track?

A track is the representation of one uploaded *.igc file. It can be uploaded and displayed as a part of a scene. Since february 2024, there is no distinction between track and scene any more, on the start page. Your tracks have been converted to scenes with just on track (now called single scene).

What is a Scene?

A scene consists of one or more tracks and is the thing you can watch. You can create a scene by uploading tracks or by adding tracks from existing scenes. Or by a combination of both.
