Crowds

The radio link is narrow. Every message about another plane uses a part of it. Your own plane comes first, so a crowd of planes never stops your telemetry.

A crowd does not crowd out your plane

If the crowd has 30 planes, wait 10 seconds. The telemetry of your plane has at least 4 position updates per second.

See it in Flying near a crowd of planes.
