moin,
the F- uploads are more performant, your upload is registered, but another upload is quicker, so his name is shown. (beside there are a lot of problems at fr24 to show the uploader correctly intime hello Mike

1) In a well covered region like Europa as many as 20+ receivers might see and submit data for the same flight at any given time.
2) One of those will have the most resent data and will be used to plot the path of the flight on the map.
3) The 'best' receiver may change very often. Maybe second by second. But best data is used for the plot.
4) It would make no sense to credit the alternating receivers changing the receiver name second by second.
5) Therefore once a receiver is credited, the name is retained for a while until it is not contributing anymore.
Therefore, even if your receiver is not credited it is still a valuable source of data even if you are often not credited.
Use Radarview (FB24 build-in feature for feederes) or a program like Virtual Radar Server to track the flights specifically by your equipment

But ok, the most important thing is, that the planes are shown on the map.
Are you sure that radarview shows only "your" planes ?

It's a miracle - my dongle + Pi receiver has just been credited with being primary up loader for a for seconds for all these planes over the UK - and we are stuffed with F- receivers [screenshots are filtered just to show T-EGBB19]

sorry to hear that, Jean-Luc
even if "your" data is not shown on the map that doesnt mean it is not used.
It is clear that a more performant receiver delivers more data to the server.
For a dongle the maximum amount of messages is around 500 per second, sbs a bit more than 1000, beast etc more than 2000.
And, data from the F- uploaders are filtered. So you might not see any data from ground vehicles in their upload.
That data you can pickup using the other receivers.

don't think anyone is going to agree with me, but "radar" should be removed from info.
I'm feeder because it is my hobby, not to be shown on the map.
FR24 is filtering feeds for best preformance for end user. We all are end user.For official support use Contact Form

Yep I agree as is now the radar info is confusing and leads to permanent complains, as we can see here and there, but a little bit of recognition won't hurt, say a database query showing active contributors in the latest zz minutes with yy planes sent. In case some people need proofs they (or their installations) are running and useful, with a public access not within their private account or radar view.
