@idefix37 thanks for replying.

The trajectory plugin is ideal for planning max distance flights from a single location.

I'm looking for a layer that highlights regions where there are different directions in the lower 10000 feet. e.g. red shading for a max of 180 degree difference, orange for 150, yellow for 120 etc Once I can see these broad areas of interest then I can manually investigate the possibilities for planning out and return flights.

The following 3 images are for winds at 5000, 6400, and 10000 feet in SE Australia. The bottom right shows a 180 degree different between the 5k and 10k winds.

If anyone is interested in helping with the plugin I would be happy to develop a detailed use case and specification,

Peter

@peterevans

Yes, you can set the start time of a leg. Double click on the row in the table, where you want to set the start time. Then, only that one row will be marked with the checkbox, and below the speed and alt sliders the option will appear to set the start time.

Hi Peter. I am working on a flight planner, that you might find useful. The plugin calculates ground speed, from your IAS and Wind speed at your chosen alt, and determines the corrected ETE.

Can I ask: What is your airspeed ? (74kph). What are your waypoints?

@Tomber42
I think he wants a "new" airgram with more details for the area in yellow border

I updated Chrome and reset it to factor original settings... but still showed as black.

I did a complete uninstall and then clean install and the airgram is now displayed correctly.

Thanks for your help

@dzuremar Thanks for your quick and informative reply. The airgram is important to me as a fly a foot launched powered paraglider and use winds at different altitudes to extend my range. Often on the east coast of Australia in summer there is a lower eastly with an upper westerly. My main fuel tank is 14 litres and while I can use an aux fuel tank (in Australia) it significantly increases the weight I have to carry and the risks.
Thanks for your EXCELLENT weather visualisation tool.

Where there is NO CLOUD, there is NO CLOUD BASE = grey ! It’s that simple.
