Nice tool! It looks like it would be very easy to allow this information to be customized in the FMB or official serving settings.

I wonder if it is possible to change the order in which information is presented? Realistically, it should go like this: dot (i.e., detectable) > type (i.e., general plane type) > color (i.e., friend or foe) > name (i.e., exact plane type and unit id).

Range information should be separate from the other icon information and should be based on pilot skill for AI.

There should also be the option to disable it or "dumb it down" so that you don't get precise range information.

If Range information, rookies should get inaccurate information or no information about range at all. Veteran or Ace pilots should be able to more or less accurately range planes out to several miles, but never with better than +/-10% accuracy, or maybe +/-5% accuracy within 500 meters. Average pilots might be able to predict range out to several miles with +/-20% accuracy, and out to about 500 meters with +/-10% accuracy.
