Keep in mind that the 5 second refresh rate is client to client. Website maps that show VATSIM traffic can have up to 5 minutes delay!

Glenn Flansburg Posted July 12, 2021 at 03:24 PM Author Posted July 12, 2021 at 03:24 PM Yeah, I've noticed that https://map.vatsim.net/livedata/live.json is only updating my plane once a minute. Anything I can consume that has a faster refresh rate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
