Since the new Software and Firmware update my fence does NOT work as before.
After setting the fence area using the Map and selecting all 4 corner points.
I took off with the Fence area and activate the Fence and my heli flies to the center of the area and holds position as if RTH has been activated with no cyclic control.
So next I programmed the Fence using the Radio to program it. Took off again activated the fence with the same result heli flew to the center of area and held its position.
Everything worked before the update and nothing changed in my radio from before the update.
Geo Fence not working with 2.7.1
Behavior you are describing is actually correct.
Why you assume it is not working actually?
Once model will pass Geo-fence area it should return to the center (not when inside). If it is already inside the area you can move with sticks anytime and continue flying without turning it off.
You might try to enlarge the area, since it is more strict now (will engage sooner).

Thank you for the response.
Im sure it actually works however since this update its not working for me.
I tried enlarging the area with no success do to my field restrictions I can not enlarge it anymore.
When I activate the fence while hovering inside the defined area the model flies to a point close to the center and stays with no cyclic control. I never had any problems with the Geo Fence before the update.
The release news states to set 4 arbitrary points to define the area which I did.
So obviously I must be doing something wrong. Any suggestions ?

Please make sure you are setting the points according instructions in the Spirit Settings.

Thank you so much for the quick reply.
I will do it in that order and try it this weekend weather permitting.
However I must be missing something because I can not find those instructions
in the Spirit Settings. If I hover the cursor over the Geo Fence in the Aide Tab
it still says to select 2 diagonal points. And the manual says that also.
For give me if I blind but where are those instructions ?
