Ok!
Hi all... I was reading this post: http://www.skydemon.aero/forums/Topic11458.aspx

Nice find, I didn't see this function on the MD so I got my MD and looked for it. I found it and I selected to show it up.

I loaded a route in the SD plan on PC, synchronized with the Mobile Device for NOTAM, METEO and so on.

Once in flight (taking off I had about 10 knots headwind) I checked what instrument was showing... but it was black Unsure
I mean, I could see the space under TRK indication, but couldn't see any value about wind.
I assumed that there wasn't enough room for the instrument, so I turned off the TRK one (like in the pic in your website http://www.skydemon.aero/inflight/), but nothing!

So, I'm asking myself... how this function works?

Thank you Tim for your answer, I assumed that...

I discovered that the instrument shows up if:

- in "landscape view" you have to turn of at least one other instrument (you can view only 5 instruments)
- in "portrait view" you have to turn off 2 other instruments (you can view only 4 instruments)

I use the MD in portrait view, so it's explained why I couldn't see the wind instrument even if I turned off one like in the image I linked...
