Seeing this makes me wonder if rebooting the ipad will help. The reason I say this is that I have had to do this when using FF with my G1000 in my Cirrus. The data comes over the FlightStream 210 and it will work fine at first and then all of the traffic will disappear. Killing FF and restarting it doesn't help...only rebooting the ipad helps. Makes me wonder. I have a short cross country scheduled for tomorrow morning and I'll experiment on the way, and report back

Reboot
Mark,
I did reboot the ipad, didn't help on this flight. I'll check what happens on the next few flights, maybe we can narrow this down. ForeFlight must be getting some type of traffic signal from Dynon that gets the Traffic Icon to appear. It does it automatically, I didn't make the selection. Gary |

I've had no luck with either traffic or weather on SV v15.3.3.
However, ForeFlight announced that v10 will have broad GDL 90 support: https://www.foreflight.com/connect/spec/ Fingers crossed for this being the (long, long overdue) solution! |
That's great news, if a day late and a dollar short. The question I have is: when is FF going to fully interface with Skyview to provide traffic to FF?
|
I think a lot of the delay has come from each company blaming the other for incompatibility--at least with FF's spec publicly documented, we know who to bother to get this working!

Fzoreflight version 10 came out yesterday With the enhanced GDL 90 support. Does anyone want to update their ForeFlight software and report back if it now works with Dynon Wi-Fi for traffic and weather? my RV is disassembled for Paint so will be down for a few more weeks.

If I read FF's announcement correctly, they are saying that they have taken the GDL-90 spec and extended it...thereby changing a "standard" format into a proprietary format. So, in order to work with Skyview, FF is saying that Dynon needs to support FF's new proprietary form of the GDL-90 in order to inter-operate with FF. Am I right? If so, basically FF is saying we'll play with others as long as we get to make up the rules.

However, Foreflight has enabled their product to listen for other data in the GDL90 stream. It looks like about the only thing they have "extended" or are doing thats non-standard is the ID bits. This lets a device send specific ID information that can be displayed in Foreflight, which is kind of nice. Here's the spec as was published by Foreflight: https://www.foreflight.com/connect/spec/ Again, Foreflight has fired directly back at Dynon. Now, Dynon needs to get its act together and start sending standard GDL90 data. |
