Idea

Not quite the same thing, but a suggestion probably better here than a new post, could it be considered providing a small amount of more multiplayer info in the html/js API used by the stock MSFS nameplates? The most valuable to me would be lat/long because from that I could calculate distance or other useful values and use that in the formatting or content, so it's a bit more useful than plain distance from the user. Second most useful would be the ATC_ID string.

An additional request would be to refine the nameplate data culling algorithm so it's not purely planes in the current relatively narrow cone in front of the pilot view but include relatively NEARBY planes (e.g. within 10km) in a much wider cone, e.g. +/- 90 degrees. I appreciate there is probably a tight communications budget but the distance/FoV tradeoff could probably be optimised a bit better than a simple cone straight ahead.
