Why would airbus use anything complicated to calculate drift etc. when the use of wind display is not meant for the take off run?
I don't have any idea. But I thought the original question was interesting from a technical point of view. If it could be done, then how?

For what purpose the information may be useful (if displayed) is another discussion. What useful purpose does allot of the available information serve? How long is a string?

As for myself, if I'm PF I'm almost exclusively eyes outside once the thrust is set. As PM I scan several things.
