Actually, the error message is plain wrong now. There is still a sort of a 
speed limit, but it's adaptive - the limit isn't always 500 km/h. If the 
speed jumps very quickly (if a station suddenly jumps far from it's 
correct location), it still drops some packets. Nothing happened within 
the past few weeks (regarding this).

There is still some work to be done in tuning the algorithm for jets, 
they simply accelerate too fast for the current parameters. At least it 
allows most of the packets now. You can email me directly if you have 
additional questions.

.. and here's how the decision log looks like:
