Winds aloft

Different winds for different altitudes.

👍 nice idea.

One of big questions here is: how will we define the reach set in this case?

• Full information reach set: reachable points based on the whole information
  • ➖ Harder to implement
  • ➖ Doesn't fully correspond to reality: we only know the wind at current altitude and on ground (by looking at the windsock)
  • ➕ Very interesting to see it
• Reach set based on known wind at altitude
  • ➕ Corresponds to reality: we think that we are reaching the LZ, but suddenly we have a strong wind at some altitude and we can't reach it anymore (who would have known! 😕)
  • ➕ Nothing new to implement
  • ➖ Reach set evolution will be a bit weirder: it will jump a bit unpredictably when the wind changes
  • ➖ Don't know how to account for wind at ground level information.

Let's say we don't load the real data. How would we design the interface in this case?

I now have a view on reorganizing of the interface. Briefly: remove the legend to a tutor, create separate sections on the right for winds, pattern settings etc.
