The view outside is too beautiful to mess it up with overlays :-) I want 3D audio and a big bright screen that covers the whole panel.

If a short range LIDAR can detect a thermal ahead, then initiating a pull up before entering the lift might prove advantageous. A bit longer range and it will be possible to make small course corrections while flying slowly in areas of lift.
