SUGGESTION - Current Altitude and Airspeed

[Ezaco]

Would it be possible to display the current altitude and airspeed somewhere? Possibly in OTHER or overtop of the MAP page?

So I have started doing this on my fork. I put it on the AP page since I am usually there.
@mracko you are more than welcome to take my code for it if you need, but its pretty simple. Just added the above ground level and true airspeed simvars. You already have indicated.

Literally just started doing this tonight. so its a bit rough, but the data is there.

Thanks @Revel8804 . I think this info would be better in the Others tab, but this is practically how I would implement it.

@Ezaco, as you can see it's not much of a problem to add additional data. The issue is that with each additional variable, you increase the latency of data coming from the sim into the app. That's for example the reason why you see a progress pop-up when you press most of the buttons. I, therefore, have to be careful about which data I add and which I leave out. I'm working on solving the latency issue, but it won't be that simple.

@Ezaco I cleaned it up a bit.

I know @mracko has some bigger things to work on right now. If you want to use my fork, feel free to. Fork
Added the Plane Above Ground SimVar, because I am a pro at not knowing where the ground is during night flights. Plus I can make changes with out having to look at the game and know all is well.

Just know I do use it for some testing and code to try and help @mracko when I can.
Also just add stuff that makes my life easier.

I agree with @mracko that the flight data should be on the other page, but this way I can just stay on one page the whole time during a flight.

@Revel8804 It looks awesome and I'd love to use it. Just don't know how to do it from the source code, unfortunately.

[Revel8804]

If you could raise an issue over there and I will do that tonight.

Trying to learn this GitHub stuff some more.

Love this!

Is it possible to overlay the flight data on the map, when in landscape mode? This would make the data visible at all times.
