Wouldn't be fun, and definitely would be boring if it was too easy.

  You could open clipboard map and then open E6B and you will get almost everything you want,with the exception of alt.

    Would be nice to have alt shown with rate of climb,could help with planning an RTB when you're about to loose an engine to either damage or fuel!
