AIG Feature Request - Correct SimVar ATC_ID for online AI-Traffic
Description of the current situation:

- For many flights FlightAware is providing the actual aircraft ID as well, so it should be usable within the Sim.
- The SimVars ATC AIRLINE and ATC FLIGHT NUMBER are returning the correct values.
