Why do you need the 12 directions, instead of just reading the current track 
and use the speed the speed commander is suggesting anyway, and tell the pilot 
to fly these for the given interval. The maximum required deviation from the 
intended track this might cause is the wind drift, and the pilot will most 
probably not object or feel uncomfortable at all.
