There are several representations of the plane available. Change style to select a different
plane symbol. You can also add a wind vector which will rotate around the symbol. Enable
it by checking the "Show wind" property.

Orientation Symbol
Orientation symbol shows North direction.
6.3.4
Final Glide Symbol
The final glide symbol is a complex symbol. The bottom number shows your predicted
arrival altitude. Negative numbers indicate that you are below the glide path and positive
numbers indicates you are above the glide path. In the above example the glider is 226m
above the glide path. Chevrons show the position relative to the required glide path in
percent. One arrow means 5% above or below final glide. The middle number is the
current MacCready setting. In task mode it is prefixed with the letter T, A, B, G, S, U or
AG. Sometimes there will be another number above MacCready in yellow colour, which is
used for arrival over terrain. If we are on final glide to a selected target but between it and
the current position there is terrain which cannot be crossed without more height, then this
number will give you an estimate how much you must climb to pass over the terrain. A red
rectangle will also be shown on the magenta line indicating the point of potential collision.
In above example we have to climb 544m in order to cross terrain.
