Thank you to GolfCharlie and Claude Code for fixing the code to work with the newly changed FAA API! They have saved a lot of time. A new image has been created and will be uploaded today and available later tonight. If you don't want or need the image, you can visit https://github.com/markyharris/livesectional and incorporate the changes into your board now.

There has been another change to the FAA API which has again broke the map. We are currently working on this. Check back for fix. If you have the fix please post it. - Mark

This project is so amazing.  I just finished a map with about 475 airports.  I'm running the latest version (<a class="navbar-brand" href=" removed link ">v4.503).  I'm using the On/Off timer function.  At the shutoff time the first 400 LEDs turn off but the remaining 75 or so stay lit.  At the ON time everything works as usual.  I'd hate for those last LEDs to burn out prematurely so I'm hoping there's something I can do to turn all of them off at night.  Any suggestions on how to get them all to turn off at night?

I'm sorry, I just saw this question: Be sure to check the number of LED's in the editor is set correctly. There are 2 places. One in the Airport editor and the other is in the configuration editor. Let me know. - Mark

No worries on the delay.  Everyone appreciates this great project.  Love watching a storm roll across the country.

I did check and both are listed as having 500 LEDs.

Basic Settings - LED Count = 500

Airports - Number of LEDs 500

the behavior seems "random".  Most nights (guessing ~60% of the time) everything turns off.  The other nights the LEDs after 400 stay on.  I'm guessing they are the color they were when the power off sequence activated.  They don't blink or anything.  They are just a solid color but not all are green and it varies from day to day.  In the morning after the map wakes up then they operate normally.
