Width of dot represents strength of climb/sink.
Red dots represents climb.
Blue dots represents sink.
MC color scheme:
White coloured dots shows maximum climb detected in last turn.
Width of dot represents strength of climb.
Red dots represents climb which is stronger than 1.2*MC setting.
Yellow dots represents climb in range of 0.8*MC and 1.2*MC setting.
Blue dots represents climb less than 0.8*MC setting.
If MC setting is less than 0.5m/s, default color scheme is used!
In the middle, wind indicator is shown as a green arrow with numerical
indication for direction and speed. Wind arrow is track up orientated.
