2 simple requests

ok first, i would really like to see the plane data charts redone (in the help section), but in more detail, and in more fields than just climb rate and speed. maybe turn radius, acceleration, things like that. all the new planes are missing data in the help section. perhaps people like kweassa and whels could lend htc a hand with that, because theyve done some great testing in the past.

second, i would like more data to be added to the e6b, like climb rate, plane weight, you know, things like that. it would be very handy to have most of the instrument panel data represented in the e6b.

i would also really appreciate a little thing in the hangar, to right click on a plane, in much the same way as you save a default skin from the list, to be able to right click, and display the plane help data like the speed and climb rate, plus any new data to be added, inside the game. its such a pain in the arse to minimise the game and go clicking around on the website.

IMHO these two things would make so much difference, itd be really helpful. ty

Actually turn radius and climb rate are a function of wing loading and power settings. To create charts for all the possibilities would be ludicrous. thats  only mentioning a few of the modifying factors such as air tempurature, pressure, humidity, etc.

There are mathematical funcitons out there somewhere that could help you get the information you seek.

yeah i know, i was just using those as examples. what i really mean is that the graphs are old, and need to be redone, and be added for the new planes. and then id like a few more things to be shown in the e6b, and for the graphs to be made accessable through the hangar. im one of those people who never really says what they mean :D
