So I was trying to get some footage the other day, in a place with poor internet service. I was close to an airstrip that I am familiar with, and had flown closer to in the past...before "Geo"-gate. Regardless, I knew I was in an authorization zone (yellow).

I tried to pre-authorize from the website using my cell phone, received a text code I then entered into app. It went through. However, when I turned my bird on...it did not appear to go through. I tapped the app that asked if I wanted to authorize this flight, I tapped YES, it then said "failed to authenticate" error 1001...I did this 3x...it never authorized.

I then simply turned the geofence off in the settings, took off without incident. However I noticed I get red flashing intermittently when I have geofence off....

what has been anyone else's experience with self authorization...and/or turning and keeping geofence off...? thx as always
