Why does CS require that I login to DJI with an internet connection before it will launch the app? I was in a remote location without internet the other day, and could not use the CS because I had no internet connection. This is not the case with an ipad. Am I missing something? I use the same CS for multiple drones, but I assume it is the controller and drone that are linked, not the CS?

Any advice would be appreciated.

If you had logged in your DJI account to the CS, generally, you will not need to log in again if you don't sign out or update the system and app. For this case, I would suggest checking the login status before leaving a place with internet for flying.

Again the ''Why''?  
What is purpose of locking a drone Pilot out of the App, forcing drone Pilot to Login to DJI prior to launching the App?
