Encrypted Flarmnet files and 3rd party software

John, my understanding is that Butterfly display need the 3.4 version to support the new encrypted database. Where did you hear that the call sign is no longer supported, even with the new 3.4 firmware? This doesn't make much sense. If call sign is no longer showing I expect this is a temporary bug.

This was in response to an enquiry to Air Avionics. It is possible I misinterpreted the answer, and that the Butterfly display would be able to decode the file. But PDA software, including their own iGlide, will not at this time. Maybe the Air people can step in and clarify the answer. I do not have a Butterfly Flarm display in my cockpit, so for me anyway, this means no pilot ID.
Has anyone seen pilot IDs on the new firmware? In the other thread, someone had upgraded everything and said they saw only codes, no pilot info.
