This is one of a few firmware bugs that Godox will not fix.

You don't know that. We only know that they did not fix it yet. Whether they will fix it or not in the future largely depends on whether they think there is value in fixing it. So we have to show them that this is a very real issue that will impact their perceived quality and future sales. It might just take a few emails for them to realize that.

Fuji flashes work perfectly yet there wimpy. I'm now using a Nissin i60A Flash for Fujifilm Cameras and in the hotshoe it works great. I planning to get a remote and a second one so I can't report about there radio control yet I've seen no complaints.

I'm sure it will work well since Nissin is the OEM behind the latest Fujifilm-branded flash and remote (rebranded Nissin i60A and Air 10s). But both are about twice the price of Godox equivalents.

I wish you a lot of luck communicating with Godox.  They will not answer your email as they only talk to customers through resellers.  I've been down this path.  Even with a reseller that goes to battel for you they will be told "This is how it works."  "It works per the description."  Ask them to explain why the Godox flash works one way on Nikon and another way on Fuji and they respond "It works this way."  We went back and forth with them for two weeks.  I simply sold the flash and remotes at a loss and moved on.  I share my experience as I don't want others to go through this.
