There was a problem hiding this comment.
Note: I did not test this yet, I would appreciate if someone with access to an SITL setup could help me with that, as most of my wings are currently out of comission and the weather is forecast to be very windy.
I also just realized I have no idea how frequently the update function will be called, so I might be smoothing out way too small of a time frame at the moment. Gonna have to take a look at that
…stead of rolling average, in order to have time constant and sample rate independent filtering behaviour Co-authored-by: Copilot <copilot@github.com>

This PR adds filtered variables for vertical velocity and ground speed, specifically for use in the 3 glide related OSD elements, Glide Slope, Glide Distance and Glide Time.
Previously, these used instantaneous measurements at the moment of osd update, which caused these values to jump all over the place from small momentary influences like turbulence or air gusts, as well as sensor noise. When glide distance aggressively jumps between 500m and 12km from one moment to the next, it becomes quite unusable.
With this smoothing, the goal is to smooth out the noisy data to stabilized the calculated glide data and make it more useful.
