As many have quoted before, especially the trajectory plug-in has become an indispensable source of data and information for planning any of our balloon flights. It cannot be emphasized enough, that there is currently no other tool with the same precision, flexibility in its usage, the ability to compare models, overlay it immediately with airspace data, combine trajectories, export data etc. etc.
In my case, and I know many others, I have the premium account in Windy (next to other paying forecasting services) because of the trajectory plugin and it’s irreplaceable value for planning balloon flights. I have no doubt, that an integration of this plugin into the Windy core with its numerous users around the world will continue to attract users.
Going back to the solutions from before windy trajectories would mean stepping back more than five years (I have used Windy trajectories very successfully since 2019 on a very regular basis now as many other balloon pilots have) and and we would lose precision, comfort in complex planning of long flights, safety in the end…
Dear Windy-team please consider integrating the functionality of the trajectory plug in the core of your app, as you can already guess, there is quite a big community using and relying on it and ready to support it. Thank you for considering!
