For getting that primary data effectively, you can also consider the ‘native’ or netFDM protocols which are lower level (UDP, binary etc) depending on your use case. Web-sockets are also okay for this but to work efficiently they do need listeners to being work on the properties you want to send.

The problem with /sim/time/gmt is it’a tied property, so a listener on it won’t fire. However, that seems like a thing we could and should probably fix :)

If you test with /position/longitude-deg or similar I think it will just work as you want.

Kind regards,
