The new JSBSim does zero-out the wind forces while stationary on the ground to prevent ground jitter. That might be the cause of what you are seeing. I see. Do you have an FDM-independent idea (for real aircraft, aside from the UFO) on how to get the horizontal airspeed component? (It would

This is the best I could do based soley on sun angle. It publishes normalized numbers as properties for scenery objects to use in material animations. This allows night lighting. The properties come on slowly, so there is no sudden jarring flickering of lights across the entire city at once. There
