Default PowerFLARM bug loading FLARMnet DB file into Butterfly

Hi All - FLARM have confirmed they have a PowerFLARM bug
loading FLARMnet DB file into Butterfly traffic display.
The bug is processing a Butterfly DB (BFN) file with a long filename.
Rename the BFN to something with only 8.3 file name (ie 12345678.BFN) and PowerFLARM will correctly load the BFN into Butterfly.

This bug will be fixed in PowerFLARM version 7.02 (or possibly 7.03).

Separately, it has been reported that latest Butterfly software (4.0 DRN)
sometimes displays HexID and sometimes displays ID from FLARMnet.
If someone can get me a video of that behavior...

Thanks for the help,
Best Regards, Dave

PS: FLARM have confirmed the FLARMnet load bug is fixed in version 7.02
(though not mentioned in the release notes).

Default Butterfly sometimes displays hex ID instead of ID from FLARMnet

I have found an old bug in the Butterfly software that *may* explain
this behavior. Because of other changes, it may happen more frequently
than old Butterfly versions.

I still need some help, ideally someone who can get video of the old
behavior and then try a fix...

Thanks in advance for any help,
Best Regards, Dave
