Experiment on the TCAS for a research project #276

Hi everyone !

In order to simulate cyberattacks on the simulations and see the reaction of the pilots, I would like to modify what the TCAS is showing during flight. For example, I would like the TCAS to show another plane at x distance from the pilot and his plane whereas the real distance of the plane is y (in that way, the pilot will be lost and will visually look for the other plane and his reaction will be great to study). The thing is that I wonder if it is possible with this NASA XPlaneConnect software. I saw that I can change what is shown about the detected plane on the TCAS, but my question is : Will it change the real position of the other plane detected ? Because I need the TCAS to show wrong information. Does anyone know if it is possible ?

Thank you very much, I can give you more details if needed,
