My FRSky transmitter module has a realtime RSSI (Received signal strength indication) alert which is very useful to let you know if you are flying out of range (Hard to do) or if you are flying in an RF noisy environment (Like PEMAC). There is also support for other sensors like amp draw, gps etc but I've not played with them yet. I know Jason has either the amp or voltage alert setup on his 3d planes.
Live altitude alerts would be handy to get to know where our flying ceiling is at, but GPS would be too slow and a barometer setup would need to be constantly calibrated to work correctly.
I need to look into an airspeed indicator at some point to put into my jet to make sure I wont overspeed the airframe. The turbine I am looking at has 2.5 times more power than the airframe was designed for!
What you will soon be seeing/hearing is audible feedback for live telemetry, I know of a few projects/companies working on text to speech alerts so you can keep your eyes on the prize at all times!
