I just want to see the clouds that pilots are targeting during
playback. Clouds from the wrong 15 minutes don't suit me, much less
analysis of "house thermals" throughout the task area.

Wouldn't it be sad if in fact, one can't do well without the computer
thermal map of the task area for reference. Sort of like not being
able to play competitive chess without memorizing the first 10 moves of
all the good openings. Of course, one should use thousands of logs for
each weather situation taking into account not just the factors
WinPilot patented ?!?!?!?, but also time of day, date, frontal
situation, sounding/shear map for the time, cloud
type/amount/distribution, soil moisture map, snow cover map, ground
cover map....
