Currently the size of the yellow plane icon is determined by the plane's wake turbulence category. Instead, it'd be more realistic to have it based on the actual aircraft dimensions, which are freely available and published (I'm using a source from the FAA, see here). I'm working on this now, and I'll leave the wake turbulence as a fallback.

Thanks for the suggestions! This plugin is not really actively maintained anymore, although PRs are welcome, it'd be better to fork and distribute your own version of the plugin, which is what many divisions do (BELUX, Swiss vAcc). Maybe I'd look into getting a new maintainer instead!

Thanks, that's noted. I'll have to look into the code to fully understand what's going on, and perhaps I'll discuss with our team (Vatsim UK) as to weather we'd keep our own fork 😄

NGL I'd love to implement such a feature, will be putting it in our backlog for Epse/Belux-vSMR

Sadly I don't think our version really works as a generic plugin that well anymore, it has focused strongly on simulating the slightly odd system they use at Skeyes

My implementation is here if you're interested. I've included another file in the release which contains the aircraft data.
