I do not know about FlightGear nor JSBSim but meteorology (and thus 
airmen) specifies wind in direction from where the wind originates, 
i.e., a westerly wind (wind direction 270) blows towards the east 
(direction 090). Of course, programmers may define wind direction 
however they please but they should be consistent ;-)
