The shader scales the texture with windspeed and rotates it to get the right
orientation, but the actual rate those change is too quick to look good, and
gives the impression of very high speed, that's why I suggested a longer
interpolation time for the values passed to the shader, and to avoid doing the
interpolations in the shader itself (as that would hit performance).
Only the two values of wind-from-north-fps and wind-from-east-fps are the ones
that need this applied, as everything else is derived from these.
