Turbines should probably use mean ground wind, whereas the windsock should use actual ground ground wind (including gusts and direction changes) so that you can see gusty conditions on approach. Wind turbines are probably too heavy to swing with the gusts in any significant way. > 2. Particles attached to "local" move against the wind on the northern > hemisphere.

Drag chute of the English Electric Lightining was also displayed blown into the wind at some point - might be related? * Thorsten ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Virtualization & Cloud Management Using Capacity Planning Cloud computing makes use of virtualization - but cloud computing also focuses on allowing computing to be delivered as a service. http://www.accelacomm.com/jaw/sfnl/114/51521223/ _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/flightgear-devel
