New calculated values - xwind
Posted: 31 May 2014, 20:13
Hello,
FiF can calculate (and display) some values, for instance ETA, GS, etc.
I would like to propose (to aks) to add two values more:
- head/tail wind
- cross wind
These values might be calculated on basis of data entered by the user in Route->Summary dialog box or data extracted from METARs of airports in the vincinity grabbed by the net.
Values might be calculated in two variants:
- as actual values (by comparing wind with current GS and HDG)
- as hipotethical values at given airport (by comparing wind with RWY direction).
I am sure this would be very usefull and seems to be not complicated.
Regards
Krzysztof
