Meteo convention is from - hence the command line should use
that.
All fdm writers can use whatever vector convention they wish
internally as long as they document it.
Since the wind-{north|east}-fps property may be accessed by any
fdm it should follow a clearly documented convention - I would
suggest the meteo convention.
Each fdm can then process the property however it likes when
converting into a vector.
For clarity, how about we rename the property from wind-
{north|east}-fps to wind-from-{north|east}-fps or wind-to{north|east}-
fps, depending on which is chosen.
How's that for a solution?
Cheers - Dave
