Target Data

Distance from target without vertical component [m]
TargetDistance*cos(TargetElevation)

Target Altitude [m]
Altitude+(TargetDistance*sin(TargetElevation))

Target Longitude [m]
Longitude+((TargetDistance*cos(TargetElevation))*sin(TargetHeading))

Target Latitude [m]
Latitude+((TargetDistance*cos(TargetElevation))*cos(TargetHeading))

Target Speed [m/s]
sqrt(pow(rate(Altitude+(TargetDistance*sin(TargetElevation))),2)+pow(rate(Longitude+((TargetDistance*cos(TargetElevation))*sin(TargetHeading))),2)+pow(rate(Latitude+((TargetDistance*cos(TargetElevation))*cos(TargetHeading))),2))
(AI)
sqrt(pow(rate(TargetDistance * cos(TargetElevation) * sin(TargetHeading) + Longitude), 2) + pow(rate(TargetDistance * cos(TargetElevation) * cos(TargetHeading) + Latitude), 2))

Target Velocity Heading [Degrees]
(rate(Longitude+(TargetDistance*sin(TargetHeading)))>0?atan(rate(Latitude+((TargetDistance*cos(TargetElevation))*cos(TargetHeading)))/rate(Longitude+((TargetDistance*cos(TargetElevation))*sin(TargetHeading))))-90:atan(rate(Latitude+((TargetDistance*cos(TargetElevation))*cos(TargetHeading)))/rate(Longitude+((TargetDistance*cos(TargetElevation))*sin(TargetHeading))))+90)/-1

More Flight Data

Forward/Reverse Differentiation [Boolean]
clamp(AngleOfAttack,-90,90)=clamp(AngleOfAttack,-180,180)
This nifty bit of code gives a Boolean output depending on whether the craft is moving forward or not, meaning you get a +1 output when going forward and a -1 when going backwards.

Glide angle [Degrees]
atan2(rate(Altitude),sqrt(pow(rate(Longitude),2)+pow(rate(Latitude),2)))
Generates an angle defining the combination of the vertical and horizontal velocity of your aircraft.

Turn Radius [m]
abs(pow(GS,2)/((GForce-1)*9.81))

Ammo

Absolute ammo depletion [Boolean]
Thanks to @DarDragon for helping tremendously with this code!
clamp01(sum((Activate1?clamp01(ammo("AAA")=0):0)))
This code gives a permanent output of 1 when a certain ammo type is depleted. Ignores inaccurate count adjustments caused by deactivation of a given weapon's AG group

Fuel consumption

Metric

Liters per kilometer
(smooth(rate(-Fuel*FUEL CAPACITY IN LITRES),0.05))/(GS/1000)

Kilometers per liter
1/((smooth(rate(-Fuel*FUEL CAPACITY IN LITERS),0.05))/(GS/1000))

Distance until fuel depletion. (Kilometers)
(1/((smooth(rate(-Fuel*FUEL CAP),0.05))/(GS/1000)))*(Fuel*FUEL CAP)

Imperial

Gallons per mile
(smooth(rate(-Fuel*FUEL CAPACITY IN GALLONS),0.05))/(GS/1609.34)

Miles per gallon.
1/((smooth(rate(-Fuel*FUEL CAPACITY IN GALLONS),0.05))/(GS/1609.34))

Distance until fuel depletion. (Miles)
(1/((smooth(rate(-Fuel*FUEL CAP),0.05))/(GS/1609.34)))*(Fuel*FUEL CAP)

Misc

Seconds until fuel exhaustion
(Fuelcap/(rate(-Fuel)*Fuelcap))*Fuel
- Use liters

Fuel Consumption Rate

Per second
rate(-Fuel)*Fuelcap

Per minute
(rate(-Fuel)*Fuelcap)*60

Per hour
((rate(-Fuel)*Fuelcap)*60)*60

It doesn't matter what unit you put in

NOTE. This list will be updated from time to time for new/optimized codes so make sure to check back every now and then. Also lmk if you want to be tagged whenever the list updates.

Thanks for the post, really needed target data for something I wanted to build!

Una pregunta puedes hacer un código ft con el que pueda controlar naves Que allá spawneado en el juego con acceso a la cámara esque lo ví en un vídeo y también me podrías ayudar dónde se pone XD
