Are you saying you were able to just update the goggles to get the mc2 to work while still not having remoteid? I refuse to have to plug my phone into my goggles, Major PITA
Major PITA is, of course, subjective, but this seems quite an exaggeration. Do you refuse to fly at all because you have to plug the battery in? About the same.
I'm looking forward to a set of Integra goggles when I can afford them. The convenience will be nice, to shed the dangling battery, and the attached phone. However, flying with the attached leashes (phone and battery) really aren't that big a deal if you're sitting, which you should be anyway. Just flew yesterday, going again today. PITA? Yes, but minor.
September is coming soon, by then you'll have no choice, unless you want to break the law every time you fly.
This is pure opinion, but I suspect RID compliance will be more vigorously enforced than many of the other regs that are routinely pushed by pilots. And violators that get caught will have their illegal equipment confiscated, unlike the "don't do that" warning that's usually the case when exceeding 400', going BVLOS, flying where you shouldn't be in state/national parks, etc. I've had my share of finger wagging from an LEO (coastal beach State Parks), never anything more.
It's gonna be different with RID. This is an important airspace management system that the FAA is putting in place to manage the plethora of uses now and coming for small UAV craft.
If you object really strongly, you can get a system without RID and fly legally at a FRIA. The FAA has made the effort to accommodate even us libertarian types (you might be surprised what social rules I object to philosophically but comply with because I want to have a life and they got the guns and the jails).
And what rules I, and all of you too, casually break every day to a minor degree (speeding).
Bottom line, hold out on this and you're just going to have headaches as the firmware, and hardware moves ahead. Headaches that most of find to be a much bigger PITA than having to attach a cable to the other side of the goggles from the power cable dangling there.
