Current Situation / Problem
Documentation recommend switching off parked aircraft, but LiveTraffic can't populate the gates well as purely parked aircraft don't send position information. For a busy airport users might want to keep parked aircraft on. If then a LiveTraffic plane taxis to/from a parking position duplicate planes appear.
Suggested Solution
A Basic Cooperation option to hide aircraft near parking positions. Given that LiveTraffic knows parking position (and already has special code around that position to keep the aircraft aligned with the parking position's heading) that is probably not so difficult to implement.
Benefits
Less duplicate planes while parked aircraft are drawn.
