You should talk to John Wharington about this.

But then, I am only some guy who flies for fun. It is available as an infobox, though I'm not sure which is which. When I tested them a few months ago they were not satisfying my expectations but if this is a feature that more people find useful we might reevaluate the code to make it better. The two infoboxes related to the "Pirker Vario" are "Speed task instantaneous" and "Speed task achieved" though by reading about it, it is more like a speed infobox than a vario infobox. Still it shows you the progress along the task while circling (by converting lift into speed) and while cruising (by using your speed and filtering out the altitude losses). I hope you kinda understood what I was talking about...
