The OLC calculation is fine the way it is.

The scalar "component wind" that Ramy is asking for is a really useful thing to have in flight, never mind whether it's "correct".  If my glider has to make 80 kts TAS to achieve 60 kts GPS, that's useful info.  Furthermore, if the apparent HW component increases while on a straight final glide (no updates to vector wind), that's *extremely* useful.  It can also be used to "sanity check" the current vector wind (I wrote a ticket about that, somewhere).

XCSoar developers,

The enhancement listed below (not all mine) are still in the wishlist bucket. I believe they should all be easy to implement and will be very valuable. Can I make an appeal to consider those for 6.4?

Thanks,

Ramy
