It would, indeed, be nice to have a vertical velocity model for simulating
soaring flight. I'm still trying to run down stability derivatives for my

It will be easy to allow you to specify up- or down-drafts for
specific areas; it will be much harder to

Are there any plans for adding support for the interesting bits of

relate to the rest of the weather model, etc)
Yes. We've got hooks in JSBSim to add in the effects of turbulence, but
the math model driver for turbulence can

We cannot do fully realistic winds, at least not with the amount of
computing power

When you're ready, let me know, and I'll add a normalized turbulence value
(0:1) to FGEnvironment.
