Adding enroute winds aloft automatically

I have been looking at the evaluation version (new beta) and cant seem to find a way to add winds aloft other than manually.



PilotWizz for the iphone seems to have cracked this and gets the forecast winds aloft and adds it automatically to a route plan.



Is this a feature that exists or is planned for SkyDemon?

I definitely agree that clarity of maps is one of the key features of SkyDemon.



As someone who is getting back into flying after a break of 8 years it was a revelation to see the SE corner of England with all the airspace restrictions above 3000ft removed.



I have just put PilotWizz on my iPhone and that has a look up for enroute winds which seems to work very well, it is just a option to the planning process to auto look up winds and the heading calcs are just ready to use.



I agree it doesnt take long to slot them in and I also agree a forecast cloud base foreward view would be an much much more useful feature.
