Technical Support / Re: Position data not shared

I assume he is using SafeSky on a mobile phone, in which case his position and velocity data first of all goes over mobile broadband/mainstream Internet to the SafeSky servers.
From there, it would then get fed to the OGN, and at the same time to other Safesky users.
Now, in the early days I was told that PAW/ATOM didn't use OGN data for latency reasons.
Now, I'm led to believe that either SafeSky data direct or via the OGN is used, but with strict latency filters, so if the data is deemed to be too old to be accurate, it is rejected.
I am not a PAW insider, so the emphasis is on the word believe. Some people believe the earth is flat, that don't make it so, even if Pratchett made it work.
There was some big disruption to the OGN when the FLARM encryption was changed a little while back, depending on whom you ask, it's now fine or there is still disruption.
Tristan says "filter and publish" so he does know that the data is filtered. He also knows how often SafeSky pings when there is no other traffic around.
If the data isn't getting to the OGN but Tristan tells you it then that needs to be resolved with him. When you can verify that, then you can question the next step...
