EGGP vSMR display - 11 aircraft with uncorrelated squawks

Do you feel that VATSIM ground controlling is too easy by being able to look at all the aircraft tags?

The Professional simulation mode in vSMR simulates a more realistic SMR by not displaying an aircraft's tag until they squawk their assigned squawk code. To enable it, in your vSMR config (vSMR_Profiles.json), under the filters tag, change enable under pro_mode from false to true.

The do_not_autocorrelate_squawks list contains a list of typical default squawk codes that most aircraft in flight sims spawn in with, and if they squawk one of these codes from the list, vSMR will not display their tag until they squawk their assigned code.

The accept_pilot_squawk option if set to true will invert the do_not_autocorrelate_squawks list and will instead display their tag if they have any of these squawk codes assigned.
