It dawned on me as I was running through a few scenarios tonight that the wind hold with + and - might be a little strange for the most part. I'm not sure if this is good idea or not but perhaps you could have the display as described below to make it easy to know which way to dial:
R0.5 instead of +0.5 for dial right adjustments
L0.4 instead of -0.5 for dial left adjustments
(using mils in the examples)
Wanted to throw it out there. Adding and subtracting elevation makes sense but +/- with R/L doesn't right off hand.

That is very odd your bring that up. I was just discussing this today and actually the version I have installed on my phone has R and L for windage and lead. It does look a little odd at first glance and the numbers don't pop-out at you as well when its like this. I think the solution is to change the color of the R and L text.
The +/- are obvious when you're dealing with actual wind for windage, but when you introduce coriolis and spin drift, its not immediately apparent what direction you need to adjust.
Here is a screenshot using R/L.
You may then say +/- for elevation should be U/D to match. Ultimately it was chosen because its more clear, but that could be changed with colors and/or special graphics.
What's the user vote? Make +/- R/L for windage and lead? U/D for elevation?
