FlightControlRP is a tool for tracking and calculating YPM (yards per minute) or MPM (meters per minute) between two latitudes and longitudes or race stations and lofts. Used in Pigeon Racing, this app uses the GPS to create new stations and calculate pigeon loft distances. Meters and celsius can be changed in iPhone Settings. Using OpenWeatherMap data, the weather can be displayed for each race station, and the forecast can be analyzed to determine if conditions are appropriate for racing and training your pigeons. Pigeon race progress can be tracked in real-time and displayed on a map with a current weather overlay. Arrival times and YPM can be sent via Twitter. Overfly is automatically determined and finish times can be adjusted on the fly. Lat/Lon can be added as hh:mm:ss 52°12′17.0″S Can be entered as any of the following...

The flow makes no sense. The functions are great when they work properly. Needs update asap. ### 5/5 — Great tool *2020-08-08* Simple to use to get a distance to your loft and estimated arrival time. ### 1/5 — Cy *2020-08-03* .6s8tz ### 1/5 — Not worth your time *2019-09-02* I got to work the first few times but after that if I try to go more mile it would not let me. Tried until install it and tried it again can get to work again ### 1/5 — Nothing good *2019-05-25* It doesn’t work need work ### 2/5 — Looks good *2019-01-10* Finding it hard to lock in loft position And release positions for training fights with in Australia Some guidelines on how to use the app would be great Love the idea Would be great if I can get it to work correctly Thanks ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2018-10-27, version 1.80* Piece of sxxt Dsnt hav any guidline neither locations would be set or basically cant understand and the basics of the sw is totally riped as the calculation could be done manually easily nd quickely ### 5/5 — Great app *2018-08-11* Maybe you should Google or born go on YouTube to get more information on how to run this program it really works well with me once I have learned more about it. ### 1/5 — Not a finished program *2017-09-13* Have tried to work around this program for months. It is clumsy and difficult to even to configure the basic info. I'm a club race secretary so no stranger to the requirements in race program. There must be a better solution for the iPhone One star, It has a pigeon on the homepage.... ### 3/5 — Complicated *2016-10-11, version 1.71* This has the potential to be a great app but there are no instructions. I have spent hours trying to fathom it out but it still will not work as per the description photos. ## Frequently asked questions about flightControlRP ### What is flightControlRP used for? flightControlRP is a tool for pigeon racers to track and calculate YPM (yards per minute) or MPM (meters per minute) for their races.
