Add Sim Rate #206

What do you suggest?

Suggest adding a user's Sim Rate to the pilot/flight info page. You might have to calculate it, i.e. measured ground speed vs. rate across the map.

Why do you need that?

Especially with lots of long-haul 777s, would be useful.

Alternatives

No response

Additional info

Unsure where the roadmap is found, apologies if it's already there.

Validation

Code of Conduct B9 may apply -- sim rate acceleration is by permission only in controlled space. Expressly prohibited during events. In general it should not be encouraged because it breaks immersion and your ETA.

Understood about the CoC, but it would be a nice-to-have to be able to see if others are using higher sim rates to coordinate.

Similarly, I really appreciate that we can see to what COM1 frequency other planes are tuned, especially with the CTAF pilot in the US.

You have my support, but in 800 hours over 10 years only heard maybe 1-2 requests ever! The feature would help avoid the confusion when trying to maintain separation from flights that have it enabled though. It seems to be more frequently used than in the past, with the recent influx of MSFS pilots.
