Win Pilot is overlaying fcst24 data in their moving map app.
fcst24 looks interesting even without Win Pilot. Modest subscription fee. Is anyone in the USA using fcst24 for soaring?

Honestly, this year has been so good in New England all you really need is the diurnal temperature swing, the synoptic map, maybe a forecast sounding or two.

Less is more. Go fly.


I'm not having any trouble finding lift. I like to look at maps, forecasts, clouds.

lol. OLC suggests you are having trouble finding your way to the *airport*, never mind finding lift.

Map presentation doesn't improve forecast quality, it just presents more data (read: conjecture) in a format that can be efficiently assimilated. If that's worth the price of admission to you, that's fine.
