OK - that explains the impression of fast movements during wind-speed changes. I have now added a time based interpolation to the wind vector components in /environment/sea/surface/wind-from-XXX-fps. I made the timing configurable at runtime in /environment/sea/surface/config/wind-filter-time which sets the filter-time for both exponential filters. This is initialized to 60 in FGDATA/Environment/environment.xml and looks reasonable to me. You might want to play around with that value and we can adjust it if desired. Along with this commit, I cleaned up water.eff and flutter.eff files from unused properties wind-from-(heading-)deg which seemed to be unused. Please check if that was correct. The relevant commit is 2071a3297c9bc3a7f8df397fd8acaa71bc110f06 in fgdata.
