      Hey all, I'd like to suggest a simple feature to add for Aviation. It'd be great if you could show the crosswinds based on the forecast wind directly.

      The math behind it is pretty simple:
      Sinus of the difference between wind direction and runway heading multiplied by the wind, e.g. for runway 07 (70°) and wind coming from 115° with 20 kts:

      115 - 70 = 45° difference
      sin(45) = 0,70 * 20 kts = 14 kts crosswind.

      It would be pretty convenient, since we already do have the airfields + metar shown :)

      Thanks and kind regards
      Manuel

        @piri89 Hello, right now there is no plan for this. However, we can consider it in our upcoming plans.
