hot air ballooning and all things flying
@TomSlavkovsky @ivo what do you think about making plugins a permanent affair, like in browsers?
so the whole clickety-click dance at startup becomes a one-time affair?
that does have UI implications like - no immediate popup of menus etc - only right-click
I wrote a blog post on the latest version of @rittels traj plugin - a huge improvement in functions and usability!

is that planned to work eventually?
will it never work for some reason?
thanks! pawed through the FAQ and articles - couldnt find an answer
In the space of evidence-based politics, Mr DiCaprio is not exactly my first goto-source of knowledge, given that for him foehn is already a consequence of GW:
maybe we can leave out the activism space here? it permeates through any channel conceivable anyway.
Here's something neat: visualize an expected balloon flight in 3D based on a windy trajectory:
https://ayvri.com/scene/49j7m8dzje/cjzp38qi200013d5vtyo4jj3j
The GPX file was created with windy.com and the traj plugin. It includes an ascent and descent phase of 2m/s and level flight at 1500m. The GPX file was then uploaded to ayvri.com (free account required).
The ayvri visualization is based on cesium.js - for the curious, play here: https://cesiumjs.org/Cesium/Apps/Sandcastle/index.html?src=CZML Path.html
it's all about streamlining the common case.
An advanced user or developer can well be subjected to jump the occasional hoop.

great job, folks!
I'm attending another ballooning event in Austria: http://www.airfield-krems.eu/index.php/ballonfahren/ballon-news
The organizer asked me to provide trajectories for the event, I'm posting those here: https://blog.mah.priv.at/index.php/langenloiser-ballontage-2019/
