dealing with what seems to be a game-changing development?

Depends on what you mean as real time.. and tracking. GPS_LOG (maybe
some other software) had display of FLARM objects in range for very
long time on TCAS display which you could have used for tracking.
GPS_LOG, WinPilot and SeeYou have a team flying feature where position
is announced to the teammmates by voice radio and is "encoded".
GPS_LOG is has settings to make it compatible with both SeeYou and
WinPilot. Does anyone use these features is another story.

Henryk,

The difference here (I think) is that unlike the previous SeeYou team
flying feature, which required the pilot to input data from a friend
setup to give such data, or previous FLARM implementations, where you
could visualize other aircraft but did not know whom was whom, the new
implementation tracks a specific airplane, which could be a teammate
or a member of another team. This seems to be a fairly substantial
development.
