OGN
I'm one of the guys behind Flarm.
Please stop the nonsense.
The update that happens now has been scheduled and announced for the last 4 years, not due to OGN.
However, due to issues caused by OGN (such as tracking privacy) as well as issues experienced by OGN (such as range ambiguity), the update contains additional elements, some of which can make the combination-OGN more powerful, in both technical and legal terms.
We think OGN is largely a cool thing, and we have reasons to believe OGN+Flarm can fruitfully cooperate, to the benefit of gliding. If some conditions are met, such as OGN accepts the FlarmTrackingServer for decoding, and OGN dies not engage in an aircraft tracker. And OGN is learning that not anything goes.
OGN will have a problem without Flarm. Flarm may have a problem without OGN.. Some know that.
Flarm focussed on the update that was published days ago, and is currently busy with the related support for 25k+ units spread over 30 hardware designs. This work is not done when a release is published.
Flarm will refocus on the TrackingServer next week again to make this happening for OGN.
Let us work, and enjoy gliding.
