Description

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!!

Research direction

Start by locating the Planner tab warning controls, the HUD display, and the Data tab map section that shows calculated wind speed and direction. Review how existing warnings and the “Enable Speech” option work before assessing the uavforecast.com integration. Done should include a yellow out-of-limits warning, a configurable weather source with calculated wind as the default, and a larger map wind indicator.
