Expose maxLabelDist to some config function
TwinFan opened this issue · comments
Current Situation / Problem
See TwinFan/LiveTraffic#188
Distance up to which labels are drawn is hard coded to 5,000m at the moment. Some people like to see labels earlier.
Also, labels are cut off at X-Plane's reported visibility.
Suggested Solution
Provide a configuration option for maxLabelDist, either in the configuration callbacks or as a separate function, or as addition to the existing XPMPEnableAircraftLabels() call.
Benefits
Allows plugins to offer the user to chose when to show labels.

/// Configure maximum label distance and if labels shall be cut off at reported visibility
/// @param _dist_nm Maximum label distance in nm, default is 3, minimum is 1
/// @param _bCutOffAtVisibility Shall labels not be drawn further away than XP's reported visibility?
void XPMPSetAircraftLabelDist (float _dist_nm, bool _bCutOffAtVisibility = true);
