Add a “Time Remaining” field next to aircrafts ETA

What do you suggest?

I would suggest that a “Time Remaining” field should be added next to airplanes’ ETA, or option to toggle between the ETA, and the time remaining field, in both the controller view, as well in the “Plane Info Tab”. I think this can be done by subtracting the ETA (to their destination airport) in Zulu time, from the current Zulu time, and then displaying that amount of time. In the Discord suggestion thread, there was some concern that this number would be inaccurate, but as far as my logic goes, it is just as accurate as the current time “ETA” prediction. The photo I added is a very rough photo demonstrating what I’m suggesting to be added. (The red part) It can also, like a said, be a toggle that replaces the ETA field. 😁

Why do you need that?

As a controller myself, this feature will help me a lot to save a view seconds every time that I glance over to VATSIM-RADAR (while controlling), so that I don't have to work the "time remaining" myself. This few seconds will really help me in busy controlling environments. This is a small quality of life feature, that I think will help people save time, so that they don’t have to do work it out themselves.

That's nice design, I'll make sure for it to look EXACTLY like it!
