This would be fine, but the problem is that the call sign is not showing as well, unless they fixed it recently.
I still dont get the privacy thing, why removing the pilot name? If the pilot does not want to provide their name they wouldn't, if they do than why removing it? Ramy |

I don't get it either, since once you have the tail number or contest number (or IACO number) the owner at least is a very simple public database lookup. That isn't necessarily the pilot, but in gliders it is a very high correlation.

German privacy law is way more strict than anything here in the US Pete |

I got a confirmation from flarmnet folks that this was a bug they fixed as of last Tuesday. The only thing that they removed for now is the pilot name.. The Tail Number should be displayd as before once you download the latest file from flarmnet. I hope to be able to confirm it this weekend.

I loaded the latest Butterfly provided
flarmnet file along with the 3.4 firmware update into our club gliders and my own. All I can see are the ICAO id's. |

Then I hooked in my Oudie with SYM.
SYM shows the contest letters.

George, can you confirm the version number of the FLarmNet file on your Oudie ?
Indeed, very recently I set up a friend's new PF Core + Oudie/SYM. My own system (upgraded to PF FW V6) showed up perfectly fine with my 3U call sign on his Oudie. My guess is the Oudie had a pre-encryption FlarmNet file. 3U. |

Ramy I uploaded the current .bfn file this morning and it worked nicely. The pilot name is gone as discussed, but the rest of the information is displayed as it used to be. My Butterfly display saw gliders running both the 3.3 and 3.4 version firmware. Flarmnet is now back to regional files instead of the prior world file. FlarmNet files for Butterfly Displays (Version: 00303b): Files for Butterfly Display firmware version = 3.4. Please make sure to install the latest firmware for your Butterfly Display: Data for North America and South America Data for Asia, Australia and Oceania Data for Europe and Africa Right click on the desired file and 'save target as..' to download a file. |

Indeed I got confirmation from flarmnet that they found the issue was happening only when updating via powerflatm and it should be fixed now and divided to regions again. I didn't get a chance to confirm this myself yet.
