			== <span>Version 6.5.0.0</span> ==

			==== Added ====

			* Added a new Monitor Only aircraft profile option for users who want FSFO to track Career Mode or Company Mode flights without using aircraft-specific copilot automation.
			* Monitor Only mode now supports normal flight tracking, flight-segment progression, company/career reporting, and portal upload behavior while suppressing copilot flows, callouts, and automation.
			* Added more Career Mode diagnostics and reporting improvements to help identify why a Career Mode flight did or did not complete correctly.
			* Improved the Career Mode upload and reporting process, including updates to the career dashboard, post-flight report, career services, and performance window.
			* Expanded the Operations experience with updates to the Operations window, Operations page, and related performance-page integration.
			* Added additional Pilot Portal startup, activation, login, messaging, and session-handling support.
			* Added more active-flight sync support for SimBrief, flight-plan, and portal-related workflows.
			* Continued improvements to the speech trainer and speech setup experience.

			==== Fixed ====

			* Fixed an issue where passengers could still show near 100% hunger and thirst after cabin service.
			* Fixed an issue where FSFO could rebuild the passenger state from changing or live flight-plan data after the flight had already started.
			* Fixed an issue where harmless SimBrief or live flight-plan formatting changes could create a new passenger state during the same flight.
			* Fixed an issue where passenger-condition logs could alternate between different dashboard/passenger states, making the same flight appear to have both good and bad passenger-service results.
			* Fixed an issue where some completed Career Mode flights could appear to miss scheduled-leg completion because the flight ended as Sandbox instead of entering the Career Mode completion path.
			* Fixed an issue where the Fenix A320 heading command was not setting correctly.
			* Updated the PMDG 777 aircraft profile and related SOP page behavior.

			==== Changed ====

			* Passenger-service tracking now uses the shared career passenger state once the flight has started.
			* Passenger flight-signature logic was improved so small live flight-plan formatting changes do not reset passenger tracking.
			* Passenger boarding and condition diagnostics were reduced so future logs are cleaner and easier to understand.
			* Updated flight-plan and SOP page behavior.
			* Refreshed several major UI areas, including user settings, sound recorder, weather, licenses, email, support, and get-started pages.
			* Continued visual and workflow improvements to the Career Dashboard and Company pages.
			* Updated Operations window presentation and related dashboard/reporting behavior.
			* Improved seat-configuration handling and post-flight career/company analysis support.
			* Improved Pilot Portal login, activation, cloud-account, and session handling.
			* Adjusted main-window and Pilot Portal messaging/login UI wiring.
			* Updated settings pages and supporting activation/config handling.

			==== Key Highlights ====

			* Career Mode and Company Mode reporting received a major round of improvements across dashboards, post-flight reports, portal services, and session handling.
			* The Operations experience continued to expand, including better integration with performance, reporting, and passenger-service workflows.
			* Monitor Only mode gives users a new way to fly aircraft that do not need full FSFO copilot support while still allowing company/career flight tracking.
			* Passenger-service tracking is now more stable during live flight-plan changes, reducing false resets and confusing post-flight results.

FSFO does not stay on top

	== ~~FSFO does not stay on top~~ ==		== Copilot executes actions at incorrect altitudes ==

	<div style="margin:0.6em 0; padding:0.8em 1em; background:#eef3fb; border-left:6px solid #1f4fa3;">		<div style="margin:0.6em 0; padding:0.8em 1em; background:#eef3fb; border-left:6px solid #1f4fa3;">
	This ~~behavior~~ is caused by ~~Windows process-level restrictions~~.		This issue is usually caused by the simulator’s Units of Measurement setting being set to Metric.
	</div>		</div>

	~~Reasons:~~		When MSFS is set to Metric, altitude-related values may be reported or interpreted in meters instead of feet. FSFO expects altitude-related values to be in feet, so the copilot may execute altitude-based actions too early or too late.

	* Windows prevents non-~~admin apps from staying above admin~~-~~level apps.~~
	* Another application may re-~~assert its “Always on Top” flag after FSFO~~.

	<div style="margin:0.6em 0; padding:0.8em 1em; background:#fdf7f2; border-left:6px solid #f0ad4e;">		<div style="margin:0.6em 0; padding:0.8em 1em; background:#fdf7f2; border-left:6px solid #f0ad4e;">
	~~Restarting FSFO reapplies its topmost flag~~, ~~but FSFO cannot remain above an admin-level window unless it is also run as Administrator~~.		Your simulator Units of Measurement setting is currently set to Metric. If you keep this setting, your copilot may perform some actions using meters instead of feet.
	</div>		</div>

	~~Workaround~~:		Fix:

			* MSFS 2024 - Go to General Options > Language > Units of Measurement and change the setting to Hybrid.
			* MSFS 2020 - Go to General Options > MISC > Units of Measurement and change the setting to Hybrid.

	* Run FSFO and FSUIPC7 at the ~~same permission level~~.		Microsoft describes Hybrid mode as a real-world aviation-style setting used in many countries outside the U.S., where altitude is shown in feet while most other measurements use metric units.
	* Or disable Always-On-Top in ~~competing applications~~.
