Feature Request in responce to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau incident report

[arcdragon1]

What happened:

1. This is the broad stroke article https://dronedj.com/2025/08/29/orlando-drone-show-mishap-lawsuit/
2. This is a break down of the ATSB and the FAA's recommendations https://dronedj.com/2025/08/24/australia-drone-light-show-crash/

Can we add a weather out of limits warning? I think it would fit nice and easy in the Planner tab as a clickable option for warnings (Enable Speach).

I would want it to display something in YELLOW on the HUD as being out of wind limits does not mean there is immediate danger.

If possible, have it pull from uavforecast.com or some other weather source as an option

As a default have it pull wind speed from the calculated wind speed displayed on the map section of the Data tab

Can we also double the size of the wind speed/direction indicator on the map section of the Data tab? My eyes can't always see it.

THANKS GUYS!!

Add win_dir and wind_vel to the Quick View tab.
Then use Warning Manager to add vocal and coloring warnings to the wind speed values. (CTRL+F and Warning Manager)
Note: a Multirotor drone will give you wind direction and velocity values if you previously set up windspeed estimation https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/airspeed-estimation.html

The wind speed/direction indicator on the map section is incredibly useful. I know you can add wind velocity and direction to the Quick View Tab, but there are often many other desirable numbers to put there so having it on the map is great.

Two changes to the indicator on the map would make it even more useful:

1. Don't make the arrow tail change length with wind speed. The speed is provided by the number. At smaller speeds the arrow is too small to be useful for indicating the direction. Keep the arrow tail constant at a longer length.

2. Either make the wind speed number a bit bigger, or preferably make the whole thing 50% to 100% bigger. I rarely utilise the corner areas of the map and would gratefully give it up for a larger display. Currently it uses around 63x63 pixels of my map which is around 1100x1300 pixels overall. If people desperately wanted the smaller option then maybe there could be a choice of two sizes ?

Thank you in advance for considering this.
