As long as the issue has been reported, I'd guess many people aren't going to keep reporting it. If this site had a tracker for known issues and when they get closed, then we'd have some idea of what is or isn't being worked and when to expect to see a different behavior. This issue wasn't mentioned in the latest release notes so I didn't go out looking to see if I could reproduce the problem again. However, I did fly through an area of precip on my last flight and I can confirm this issue is still happening in the latest production build. So, was it worked on? Until someone says they've attempted a fix, this thread is probably going to remain stagnant and people will assume it's a known, ongoing issue.

This has been an issue since the first time ADS-b was available. It has not changed one bit. I actually have just raised the white flag and gone back to using by eyes to avoid precip.

^^this. 

I gotta say I'm disappointed by the dismissiveness of responses lately.  I wish AP would have more of a posture to assume there's an issue until it's investigated and proven otherwise, instead of initially deflecting and dismissing feedback until there's such an overwhelming clamor that they can no longer plausibly deny an issue exists.  That's just not a good look.

For something like this, an internal bug-tracking database would be easy to check.  "Yup, we addressed that in v. xx.y.z.  Let us know if you see it recur and we'll take another look."

I strongly agree with the above comments.

Same story with this issue: https://iflygps.com/Support/Forum/for...ope/posts#46783
The failure happens on nearly every flight. I'm also experiencing problems with iFly "disconnecting" from the Dual XGP190 even though the tablet says the BlueTooth is still connected and the XGP190's BlueTooth light is on sold, not blinking. This happens with different tablets and multiple XGP190 units. Only common factor is iFly.

I just posted comments about ADSB  weather in the General Forum -  not a bad signal, but NO signal at all.   And yes I was getting traffic so my ADSB receiver was working and talking to IFLY correctly.   Just no TIS-B signal.

I think we all have had enough problems and have enough experience with ADSB weather to declare it a failure.   I do not trust it; don't believe it is a reliable system and will not use it in the future for cross country flights.  

I have received a letter from the government because my ADSB out signal "disappeared" for fifteen minutes.   To whom do I send a letter when their

ADSB weather signal disappers for over an hour - or more?   

For me - the solution is a Garmin GDL-51 and XM weather.   Now we need IFLY to be able to display XM weather on their app.   

Regards

Rodney Wren
