E6B Wish
« on: October 17, 2011, 07:25:13 PM »
I'd like the see the right pane (the "wind" pane) made a bit more useful (especially since we rarely ever see any wind).

Call it the "Nav" pane - have the top line be the actual compass heading in degrees (000 -359) and we can use the E6B for more precise navigation.
All the wind speed and direction data can be put underneath the compass heading (there is room for 6 lines and we only use 4 now).

Benefits:
1.  It allows for more precise navigation.  This should improve buff formation flying (and it allows you to make precise course changes while in the gunners position with the E6B open).
2.  If we ever actually get arenas with wind, having the compass heading with the wind deflection might actually allow someone to compute the true course. 

-- respectfully submitted.
