Big regrets upgrading to 10.3

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I resisted for years upgrading to 10.3, given everything was working great (Foreflight/ipad IFD550 Stratus), and there weren't any features that I really needed.
But I upgraded and now traffic drops all the time, datalink errors are frequent, and a big irritant, everytime you join the network on a connected device to use foreflight, you have to hit "cancel."  If you hit foreflight mode then you have to reconfigure the Avidyne.

This is ridiculous. I take from multiple forum postings I'm not alone.  

Avidyne, you fixing this most basic functonality?  Having traffic disappear is huge safety issue.

	I should note that by comparison, my ancient and non-supported 530W and Garmin transponder works perfectly with foreflight in my other plane.

	What are you using for traffic? Stratus? I bought Avidyne because they advertised they could injest traffic from a Stratus. That's a false statement. Since installing, I've been lucky to get traffic about 20% of the attempts and even then I have to cycle Open ADSB off then on every 20 minutes or so to keep the traffic. The past 6 flights, I've had zero luck getting traffic on my 540. The only reason I bought Avidyne over Garmin was their claim of getting traffic from my already installed Stratus. I completely regret buying Avidyne - I should have gone with Garmin.
