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 ;-) Cheers, Jari ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list Flightgear-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
