I guess I don't really know now that I think about it, but I always
thought of windshear more as a singular event as you pass from one
layer of wind to another rather than continuous high turbulence.
If I'm wrong just ignore the rest of this.
Wind shear is any

directional control.
I think that blue line is a bit higher than Vmc -- it's a speed where

It's not mainly torque effects but the yawing moment that you have to
worry about. Unless the plane is a centreline thrust, the good engine

It seems to me I read somewhere that if you have any altitude at all (1000ft)
the thing to do is move all the levers up to full throttle. Cut the throttle
on the engine you think is out, because

It looks like there is code that is *supposed* to
subtract the wind from the airspeed, but it obviously isn't working.
This made me curious. Does FlightGear simulate windshear?
