Nameplates for other VATSIM planes in MSFS?

Hi.  I don't think I see nameplates for VATSIM planes in MSFS.  Is there a way to enable nameplates for other VATSIM planes?  This way, I can distinguish between AI planes and VATSIM players (I swear I had AI turned off in MSFS but another plane moved onto the taxiway and I wasn't sure if it was an AI plane or VATSIM player).

Since the vPilot forums have been frozen at www1.metacraft.com, if this is the official vPIlot forum now, can I make a request to the developer of vPilot to add nameplates for VATSIM planes in MSFS in a future vPilot update? Thanks.

This is a Microsoft Issue and nameplates for VATSIM aircraft do not appear above other VATSIM aircraft. There currently is no way to change this. Microsoft is aware of the issue.

That's too bad there is no way to change this.  Nameplates is already working in MSFS for multiplayer mode.  I was hoping that nameplate functionality could just be tweaked to work with vPilot.
