Makes it easier to fly planes on blockland. It's only planned but since I have the tendency to give up on projects and I am lazy, I might not get it done.

The modes are:
Excessive descent rate ("SINK RATE" "PULL UP") Sort of easy
Excessive terrain closure rate ("TERRAIN" "PULL UP") A little bit hard, might get a pro to help.
Altitude loss after take off or with a high power setting ("DON'T SINK") Sort of easy
Unsafe terrain clearance ("TOO LOW – TERRAIN" "TOO LOW – GEAR" "TOO LOW – FLAPS") A little bit hard, might get a pro to help.
Excessive deviation below glideslope ("GLIDESLOPE") Sort of easy
Excessively steep bank angle ("BANK ANGLE") Easy
Windshear protection ("WINDSHEAR") Wind in Torque doesn't affect flying vehicles(?)

I might or might not put in GPWS

Oh, this is lovely. It fits in perfectly with my love of aviation.

Please do finish!

Dunno if whatever a GPWS is has a speedometer or something, but is one going to be included?

Thanks for explaining what it is.

This has a speedometer, an altimeter, and a rotation meter that measures in Euler angles.

tt;du (too technical, don't understand): This shows the aircraft's speed, altitude from terrain, actual altitude, and rotation.

Later on, I will add the actual GPWS stuff.
