Hello pilots,
Yes, SafeSky sends to SkyDemon traffic from all SafeSky pilots, but also from all the aggregated traffic (about 15 sources, including FLARM, ADS-B, some MODE-S, PilotAware, FANET...)...
(Note that regarding FLARM, pilots don't need to pay the £40 yearly subscription to decrypt the traffic in SkyDemon, since the traffic is already sent decoded to SkyDemon from SafeSky.)
When used along side with SkyEcho2 or any other eConspicious devices, you get the best of both worlds on SkyDemon: air2air traffic from SkyEcho show up on SkyDemon as normal, plus when in the range of internet connection (78% coverage up to 5000ft in the UK), SafeSky adds up traffic that SkyEcho does not see.
Fly Safe everyone

Incorrect. Go on the SafeSky website. It tells you all it sees on there but much more than just others using SafeSky

+xYou set up the connection to SkyDemon in the SafeSky settings. It’s fairly straightforward. You need the bought version of SafeSky If I have not misunderstood, SafeSky does not show "all" traffic, but only that of those who have installed the app and are using it. It's correct?

Hi, I have tried to fly a couple of times with SD using the Garmin GLO2 as a GPS source. It all works great with an Android tablet. Now, if I wanted to integrate SafeSky to SD, would I just have to install the app, run it and see the traffic on SD?
Sorry if the question sounds silly, but I'm not very experienced.
Thank you.

We simply haven't seen many people asking for such a solution. Of those that have, most were concerned (like you were above) with the situation where the device fails and you're left without navigation services. We addressed that with a fallback feature, which even reconnects to your device when it's available again.
We prioritise feature development by the desire in the community. If it transpires that there's a good body of people who want to merge traffic from one particular product with GPS data from location services, then that's something we would put our minds to. We are not there yet.

Hi Tim, thanks for your reply! I had not been aware of this feature. Hopefully more experienced fellow pilots are. Still I am wondering why you don't want to offer a third option: use location services for navigation, and merge traffic from 3rd party device. Navigation WILL be more reliable: tight connection to built-in GPS, not affectable by poor Wifi. Less wifi traffic. No latency. Just independant of any unknown 3rd device. Mentioned competing Apps picked the idea. So why should SD stay behind. Greg

Yes you can! I have been for a long time. I use SafeSky linked to SkyEcho which is then connected to SkyDemon. It works very well indeed

FYI, SkyDemon has told me that you can't have SafeSky and SkyEcho 2 connected at the same time. Something to do with them both using the same protocol for data transmission. That is a shame, but I want to keep my real time reception of ADS-B Out and FLARM data.
I don't suppose there is a future, possible, technical solution to allow both system to integrate with SkyDemon? Tony

If your traffic device fails, you can press the ? button in the green warning banner that tells you so. SkyDemon will then offer to revert to Location Services so you can keep navigating. It's two touches of the screen. If and when SkyDemon detects your traffic device has started working again, it will silently switch back so you're receiving traffic.
There's no need to switch back to planning mode or interrupt your log.
