Ooh! Yeah, that is a good point about the 3D part of it. It's been a while since I worked on the wind stuff. So, can anyone specify the following: What are/is the way[s] a user can specify wind on the FGFS command line? All I can see is this: --wind=DIR@SPEED: specify wind coming from DIR (degrees) at SPEED (knots) Was there a properties way to do it that is opposite to the above? Perhaps we are given too much power! ;-) Most/all users will only specify a from direction and speed. It would normally (IMHO) be up to the scenery model (giving us the terrain info) and the weather or FDM model to give us the up/down component, would it not? Perhaps the FGInterface object is not preparing the wind components properly for the FDM? I still think our (JSBSim) approach to winds is the most intuitive, but I am open to debate. Tony? Thoughts?
