Virtual Litchi Mission

In your Google control panel, check if your key has "API Restrictions" set to "Don't restrict key",

Yes I did check that and enabled the whole pack of API's in the suite to see what happened. That changed nothing so went back to the 'normal' restricted suite.

I use VLM often and have my own Google Elevation API key. The VLM elevation profile is empty for me whether I am using my own key or using the shared key. I don't think I've seen that work in years.

Wes, that might suggest in some obscure way it is a Windows issue not a Google or VLM. I have always had the profile show when using the Litchi key. As soon as I drop my own key into it, it isnt there and ten seconds leter I revert to Litchi key, and I have it..
Do you use windows ? I cant even imagine at this point a connection.

Yes, Windows 11. I remember, it used to sometimes work but I can't say long ago that was. Now, it does not work for me with or without my API key.

I too am Win 11 for whatever that might mean.
I find the Elevation profile gives me a first in level of elevation comfort, and a warning not to screw with gravity or big rocks/hills and relook safely at what I'm traversing or my Waypoint locations for what I want to do..
Is there another app or approach which will give me this same simple view ? Google Earth does to a point but without any level of security
Maybe Namirda can come in again and offer his wisdom ?

To add to RodPad's question about how often I plan a mission. I have a relatively light demand, say 1-3 missions a week and that involves a bit of adjustment and playing with the whole mission to get the video I want with the subsequent calls on the Elevation Key and GE. BUT the occasions when Namirda's key is over quota is probably 50% which means a lot of other fellas are using it too and sending it over limit. My going to my own key was to give me what I wanted when I wanted it - That might relieve the (small) load I had placed on the rest of the population.

Question about passwords for virtual Litchi Mission desktop.
I did forget my password so I used the reset password and received an email to reset it. When I did it still says I do not have the right password. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Update:
Figured it out, user error.

@SkyAngel1,

I have spaced out a few times, had to look up my VLM password, I forgot again same as Litichi.
Is that related to your posts?
