Default Encrypted Flarmnet files and 3rd party software

So how do those of us that can no longer use it remove or info from they database?



=
leeching off of. Of course you can still do that, but will need to
associat=
e the Flarm ID with the pilot in your head, since that will be all that

is
=
displayed.

This seems like a step backwards for those who's paranoia has not

gotten
th=
e better of them. I'm not sure what he solution is, but at least one near
t=
erm one would be to encourage everyone to re-register on a 3rd part

sight,
=
and recreate the old style Flarmnet database which would continue to be
usa=
ble in existing PDA and (perhaps) display head firmware. Anyone

concerned
a=
bout being tracked would not need to register.=20

Does anyone else see this as a step forward? Is my understanding of

this
in=
correct?

It is up to you, consumers to decide what system wins!

So the OGN database is a replacement for the Flarmnet database? I can load it into my SYM or Winpilot and leech freely?
