<p dir="auto">In addition to the "heat map" it would be nice if the aerodromes' circles would change colors as well. Perhaps the circles could be halved; bottom side color coded for visibility, top side for ceiling.</p>
<p dir="auto">This will help pilots make quick assessments for planning and would likely bring in more downloads among the community (we are huge fans of the app as is).</p>
<p dir="auto">Thanks for the forum and the outstanding app.</p>

<p dir="auto">I have not!  I'll check it out. Thanks a bunch!</p>

<p dir="auto">Have you seen the flight planner plugin,  windy-plugin-fp ?  Work in progress.</p>
<p dir="auto">It would be cool to have vis and cloudbase combined.</p>

<p dir="auto">Appreciate the screenshot and reply but I disagree with your offering. Keep in mind METARS are a snapshot, not a forecast, and TAFs are only good for 24 hours out. Besides, most pilots would probably get that info from their EFB app.</p>
<p dir="auto">Stated a different way, I'm requesting a single button heatmap that blends visibility and ceiling; into the generally accepted four flight rules colors with corresponding thresholds... that also responds to the time slider.</p>
<p dir="auto">Basically devs would merge the cloud base feature with ground visibility, to create a new heat map layer, US flight rules.</p>
<p dir="auto">Imagine a graphical long range TAF, based on flight rules thresholds and no precip or phenomena info.  A very broad go/no go planning tool for VFR pilots.</p>
<p dir="auto">It would be nice if the METAR bubbles also responded as described above but not necessary.  It would be non-intuitive if there was a green bubble under a red cloud.</p>
<p dir="auto">Now if that capabilities exists already in a single click and I'm missing it I would owe you an apology. Thanks for your input however</p>
