FEATURE REQ: Distance filter

[robsymax]

It would be great to be able to limit the aircraft displayed to those within a set distance to the receiver for the purpose of gauging rough aircraft noise. Is this easy to implement?

I would also like to see this feature, and an associated audible alarm option for aircraft within a chosen distance and below a chosen altitude. This would be a very useful option for UAV pilots as a warning of nearby aircraft.

+1 for me!!

Hello, @robsymax @Bdavy92960 @JonMurphy

Distance and Altitude alert beeps have been implemented in my pull request #250.
#250 also includes the distance slider previously implemented in #249.

As per my previous comment, you can manually upgrade your installation by downloading the raw files from the public_html folder of my branch : https://github.com/oam7575/dump1090/tree/dev-distance_alert_altitude_alert

Note : The changes for the alert beeps are in a separate branch
