Hello. I keep reading where DJI has stopped requiring GEO Fencing unlock to fly in authorization zones, but something is wrong. I have (literally) hundred of approved unlock requests, but haven't needed on for several months. On Friday I attempted to fly near class B airspace and got a red AUTHORIZATION REQUIRED flag and the drone would not start. I then used the same unlock request form I've used for years and nothing happened...... as in.... (see attached) fill out the form but when the map appeared there were no zones; no time range was there to choose dates and times and it just sat. There was nothing I could do. But the Fencing is still active because I couldn't power up. I went into the controller (RC) menu and finally found a screen that I've seen before where this black box opens telling me I need permission and then it asks if I'm authorized and and a good person and will behave myself and when I check all three boxes and submit, I get a request successful and I can fly. Then magically an authorization license appears in the GEO Zone screen and it uploads to the drone. Anyone have any idea why the standard request form doesn't work like it used to? It took me 20 minutes at the flying site to work through all the hoops to find the right screen. I was hampered by the fact I had no network connection at the site (everything was connected to my home network) so I scrolled into the WIFI settings and had to use the hot spot on my phone to connect to WIFI to get into the settings. Any help/advice/comment is appreciated. Thanks.
