Quite a few people I discuss with are confused with how Skylines live tracking work (or they are not sure if it works at all) because they can not see their flights on https://skylines.aero/flights/pilot/<pilot_id>.

My understanding is that Skylines keeps live track forever in the DB (there are a couple of issues related to changing that but they are still not marked as fixed).

What about adding the live flights to https://skylines.aero/flights/pilot/<pilot_id> ? They could appear with the other flights or maybe in a different table ?

live tracking data is not reliable enough for this and can't be analysed properly by the same tools that we use for IGC file analysis unfortunately.

What about the second option, i.e. "maybe in a different table".

Maybe the same viewer that is used to view live tracks could be re-used ?

If not possible or not desirable, feel free to close this issue.

Thanks !
