Nice to see all the discussion all of a sudden.
I was only asking for a wide course line that would be useful in planning, and *maybe* useful in flight. Yes, it should be adjusted differently fore and aft, and based on terrain, and winds aloft, etc. But I wasn't asking for all that -- just a simple THEORETICAL (which I may have mentioned more than once) gliding distance off to each side. I'd be fine with KISS for the first release of this feature. If the developers want to make it more sophisticated -- great. But not if it means it keeps getting pushed out to "future" releases, like the flight timer was.
I believe someone quite awhile ago requested the in-flight gliding ring around the aircraft. I would *very* much like to see that too. For the first release of that, a simple circle would do in my opinion.
But let's not conflate these 2 separate features. I was just asking for a planning tool. I thought it would be less of a programming task than the in-flight gliding ring, which as I said, was requested quite awhile ago (so I assume has not been implemented as yet because it's complicated).
Thanks.
