When enabling wind barbs, they are often very hard to see depending on region, map and zoom level. It would be nice to improve visibility somewhat. Some ideas:
- Slightly bolder lines. I don’t think that’ll always help, though, and might hide other information.
- Allow other map elements (possibly all non-weather elements) to be made less visible, possibly with an opacity slider. This would help to focus on weather information.
- There could be a separate customizable weather map preset, possibly variants for IFR high/low, VFR, too, which users could adjust to their needs.
In SimBrief it’s less important, because it’s easier to switch to just a base layer.
