Hi Vivian,
Thanks for checking out the submodels. Your image illustrates the problem
really well.
It sounds like this could very well be an issue in translating coordinate
frames, or possibly it's a kts. to mps conversion issue? I guess I need to
go hunt around and see if I can find where this is in the code.
Regards,
Curt.
