When using the USS plugin is the info uploaded automatically or do I have to click on of the boxes?
The only information that is automatically uploaded is when you drop into a USS.
If you are in supercruise and you see a USS you arent going to drop into then you should select the type and threat level then click the green button.
When you drop into a NHSS then you need to press the green button to the right of the icons to submit or you can click on the text under the icons to enter the web form and submit additional information
