Looks like we have two bugs here: 1. wind turbines with mixed orientations. These should be fixed in the database. If the correct orientation in the stg file is zero.
1a. wind turbine orientation and rotation/spin speed is bound to /environment/wind-from-heading-deg and /environment/wind-speed-kt which represent current wind at the FDM position. This should probably change to ground wind. The same is true for the windsock, btw. 2. Particles attached to "local" move against the wind on the northern hemisphere. Note: Particles attached to "world" (aircraft) behave correctly and move downwind. On southern latitudes, particles attached to "local" also move correctly downwind. This seems to be a bug. IIRC, there was a fix for contrails moving into the wind some time ago - maybe this is somehow related.
