I thought of looking at the surface normal, but we'd

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

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

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

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