    The useless guy next to you...

    The Navigator.

    While long maps must wait, at least I think/suspect modeling interactions with your navigator via the radio menu won't be to difficult to implement.

    LOL! I know, I know. Maybe if I have access to some innards and guts

    What can be done:

    Need a new menu entry for:

    Schulz!!! Where the heck I am? (and allied equivalent.)
    Displays map screen with plane position icon if navigator is next to you (Player plane == He 111.) Messages for Correction Heading, WCA etc.

    Event:
    Navigator ask for a double drift calculation.
    Depending on plane, if it have a drift-meter (maybe the bombsight could be used also, not sure.)
    American procedure: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tEjJIhDanEY at 12:20.

    Waypoint reached:
    Displays message indicating Wind Correction Angle. Correction Heading. Ground speed. Fuel concerns?.
    Maybe possible with current tools. Hmmmm...

    Time passed (defined intervals for sea).
    Same as above.
    Maybe possible with current tools.

    A lot of the information is already there but some could be encapsulated inside classes. Specially the damn wind.
    We have an autopilot. Equals the navigator adjusting course.
    The menu must have a way to add new entries.

    If wind is being reworked; I hope in game wind changes will be implemented.

    The original commands - "sweep under the rug", has something related - of course simplified, see
    TAB - 3 (crew) options

    If the instrument at base of Blenheim (Wimperis) bombsight has been modeled correct, should allow calculate wind drift, but was modeled just a "repeater compass" of P-8 compass in pilot cockpit - plain wrong. But if even P-8 modeling is incomplete - lack "lubber line"...

    I guess that "frequency" (in above commands) is something related with Fiat Br.50 navigator, their radio has option for this and a mysterious "push to talk" pop-up.

    I am a software engineer so I have the skills (per experience) to know nothing is easy. I doubt TFs needs someone to mess with their work right now.
