I've done some research and cant see anything authoritative that it does. But
MBSE does report this in the logs:

+ 06-Sep-2018 23:58:35 mbfido[1186] Packet   : 03e04a78.pkt type 2+
+ 06-Sep-2018 23:58:35 mbfido[1186] From     : 3:65535/509.1 to 3:633/509
+ 06-Sep-2018 23:58:35 mbfido[1186] Dated    : 06-10-2018 13:58:27
+ 06-Sep-2018 23:58:35 mbfido[1186] Program  : Unknown 0xfefe 0.0

Thats an indicator that it is a 2+ packet right? So does that mean my MBSE is
not handling it correctly? I recall somewhere a config about 4d packets, need
to look for that, perhaps that is the problem?

Awesome, I'll take a look.

Thanks...
