Default PowerFLARM choking on too many targets?

Several pilots at the recent Nephi event experienced the same issue which appears to be related to the latest FlarmView firmware V2.20; we sent Uros various descriptions and videos of the issue so I hope he'll fix it soon. As you say, it seems to be driven by too many targets overloading something in the latest firmware.

One pilot was able to successfully downgrade him FlarmView to the previous firmware and it eliminated the issue. I personally just turned off the sound alarms as my LX9000 also displays flarm targets. Zooming out to at least 2.4 mile radius appeared to alleviate the problem although adjusting the display zoom before the unit recycled was a challenge; it's not actually going through a complete reboot, just displaying the splash screen and then returning to the display at minimal zoom radius.


To be clear, I am running version 2.02 which appears to be the revision before 2.2. Therefor downgrading probably did not fix the issue. 2.02 has the same "rebooting" problem.
