Render Priority for Player-Controlled Planes

Features
1

Hello everyone,

I’m part of the IFATC team. I love the new updates, and I think the new live feature and the parked planes are awesome for bringing life to IF.

But as an ATC, I would love to see the planes that I’m controlling — the parked planes aren’t that important to me. They’re nice, but for my work, I prefer to see the planes that are moving.

So I would love it if IF prioritized the planes controlled by players over parked planes when rendering, since there’s a limited number of planes I can see at the same time.

When there isn’t a lot of traffic at an airport, render the parked planes as well — but when players spawn in, prioritize those planes, since they’re more important to me.

Just to clarify: this should only be active for the ATC — not for the pilots/other aircraft.

Thanks a lot, and have a lovely day!

I like this! I also like that you were specific about this being go ATC and not pilots, because we definitely still need to see them in order to park!

Yes! As a pilot it is important to see all the planes that are close to you!

Thanks for noticing, that was important for me to split that up :smiley:

And voted, this would be a nice feature to have especially if there’s a ton of planes on the ground
