What sort of performance penalty do you tend to see when emulating x86
on the pi?

I have the Twister OS running on a Raspberry Pi 400, and running
PlanePlotter (x86 Windows software).=C2=A0 I've not made any formal
performance comparisons but my impression is that it is noticeably
slower than a 5-year old (nominally) x86 PC.=C2=A0 PlanePlotter is a
relatively lightweight program which doesn't need anything more than
Windows XP, so possibly the degradation with a complex Windows-10
program would be considerably more.
An alternative is Virtual Radar (https://www.virtualradarserver.co.uk/)
its a .NET application which will run happily under Mono on a Linux
Raspberry Pi. I'm using it alongside piaware on a 3B+ in the attic,
connected to an ADSB dongle and fairly decent antenna.
Oh planes? Wrote my own, running as server on an old Pi 1
http://panteltje.com/pub/xgpspc_5_planes.gif
rtl-sdr stick, 15 cm indoor antenna
Just uses dump1090 and plot its output on the local map.
Does ships too if antenna connected
http://panteltje.com/pub/boats_and_planes.gif
also calculates firing parameters...
Very old version here:
http://panteltje.com/panteltje/xgpspc/index.html
can do a lot more..
air pressure, storm warnings, temperature, humidity, GPS, CO.
output logged 24/7 on an other Pi 4.
