Current Situation / Problem
From Support Forum:
SIs it possible to have LiveTraffic only depict certain types/categories of traffic? In my case I would only like to see GA and Military traffic so that I can use this plugin in conjunction with World Traffic 3 for all my airline traffic. WT3 doesn't depict very much GA traffic, especially around smaller airports. Thank you so much!

Suggested Solution
Would need to think about how to actually do that...while there‘s theoretically a „military“ attribute in some tracking data I have never seen it being used. And there is no „GA“ attribute anyway.

So filtering would need to work via aircraft classification (like L1P for single-engine piston aircraft), and/or the groupings defined in FlightModels.prf, like [MediumJets] where I do defined a [GA] group . Selection there is based on a set of regex expressions on the Doc8643 data. For example, [GA] just takes all small (WTC=L) piston (P) land (L) planes: ^L;L\dP;.

Having the user filter directly by plane type (like C172) is impractical due to the many aircraft types out there.

Alternatives
The only functionality in this direction is to limit LiveTraffic down to a certain height above ground level and leave the ground traffic to some other plugins (Basic Settings).

Benefits
Yet again better parallel operation / integration with other multiplayer plugins.
