I've added a --random-wind option to FlightGear to make it more
interesting: it will give you a strong incentive to check the ATIS if
you're at a big terminal, or to place a windsock at your favourite
smaller field (you can always look in the property browser, of
course).

The wind direction will be completely random.  The wind speed will be
from 0kt to 40kt, weighted towards the lower speeds on a backwards
square-root curve (i.e. the speed will be 12kt or less 50% of the
time).  The gust is the base wind speed plus 0kt to 10kt, weighted in
the same way towards the low end.

You might want to consider putting --random-wind in your .fgfsrc if
you would like each flight to be interesting.


All the best,


David
