Show Track UP in Compass on Nav Screen 5 with wind direction

Post by dwynberg » Thu Jan 28, 2021 6:24 pm

While flying in mountainous terrain I frequently check wind direction to ensure I approach slopes correctly. This would be much easier if the compass could be set to show TRACK UP and the wind relative to flight track. Without that its an extra mental effort to back-calculate. If this is not already possible would this be something that could be added to a future update? Thank you.

If you get CoTASA, you can set the artificial horizon to do that.

You also get Netto, TAS, Vne, ballast, etc

Thanks Dan
I was rather hoping that it could be done in the Nav PDA

That would be a brilliant improvement, and also for map page 1. All soaring software allows you to select north up or track up. Condor should have that ability too.
