Is there any possibilities that you can make the feature when using SkyDemon live, that it will calculate wind based on the input when climbing in upwind as a Glider ? Can also be usefull if you just make 2 ore more circle in a regular plane as SkyDemon do not incorporate real time heading information.

Real time wind measurements are, as you say, impossible without accurate heading information. And how many people will actually fly an accurate circle for getting wind information? I wouldn't, because I already have a pretty good idea what the wind is doing when I am cruising along and wouldn't waste the time to fly in circles.
