    TFR Rendering Problems AF5000 OS:1

    Hi,

    With POTUS staying in NJ there is many times a complex TFR centered over Bedminster, NJ. Fortunately, there are several cut-outs for fringe airports in the outer ring with one for our airport.

    The bad news is that my AF5000 OS:1 system with the latest software cannot render the shape of this TFR. It renders a circular outer ring until it gets to the first cut-out and then gets confused and the shape displayed looks like a kind of half moon image. I will post a picture of this when I can.

    Anybody else seen this? What can I do to fix it?

    Thanks,

    I'll have this looked into by our software team. Thanks for reporting this bug.


    Can I get you to log the serial port data for a couple of minutes? Would you be willing to record the TFR data so we don't lose the shape?


    Before you fly:
    [SET] -> Hold [CAL] -> Admin Settings -> Locate the ADSB serial port number
    Diagnostics -> [SEL] Serial Port Data Logging -> Rotate to Serial #? -> [SEL] -> [BACK] -> [BACK] -> [BACK]
    This will begin the logging of the data.


    After flying and receiving the TFR:
    Then insert an SD Card and wait for the SD Card Ready flag.


    [SET] -> [LOGS] -> [SYSTEM]


    Will copy the SERIAL_* data logs to the SD card. Zip those up and reply them back to me at support@advanced-flight-systems.com.

    Shawn,

    I was able to fly today and get that data with your excellent instructions. That data is on it's way.

    Here's a photo of me coming into KDYL on a heading of 45 degrees. You can see the circle of the TFR isn't completed:

    Here's the Morristown POTUS TFR for reference.
