Anyone in Chicago notice the MASSIVE no fly zone (in Red) this weekend?  I have not been able to fly at all and wondering if it's universal or if I'm missing some sort of software update...

Yes I was just out flying and experienced that. I first noticed this on my iPad which was on the previous version of the DJI Go app and the place I was flying had no wifi. So I pulled out my iPhone which is on the latest app software and was able to fly just as before. I came home updated my iPad to the latest app version and the red no fly zones are now gone. I did not do a test flight from my iPad yet but the red zones are now gone.

I noticed the exact same thing over the July 4th weekend. To me it looked like a Presidential TFR because there was a second NFZ over the president's neighborhood. That being said, I checked all the relevant NOTAMs as well as via Airmap and there was no such TFR. In fact the news said the president was nowhere near Chicago. I think this was a data problem on DJIs part.
