Shiraz International - wrong runway for wind.

[Proper Charlie]

Persian Gulf map, wind set to blow to 116 degrees, 20 knots at 33 feet.

At Shiraz International airport, this results in a ~ 40 knot wind at ground level.

Despite this being directly aligned along runway 29, runway 11 is actually the active.

In the attached track, the player's Mirage F1 is set to "Takeoff from runway" but spawns on runway 11 not runway 29, and has a 40 knot tailwind.

(Incidentally the tailwind causes the engine to flame out, which I will raise separately with Aerges).

You might have mixed something here. Probably 20 kts at 33 feet (ground level) and 40 kts at 1600ft.

Ground level in Shiraz is around 4900 feet above sea level.

The windspeed settings I used in the mission editor for this were:
33' = 20 kts
1600' = 43 kts (automatically set by DCS)
6600' = 50 kts
26000' = 60 kts

When stationary on the ground at Shiraz airport, the info bar in the external views shows me to have an airspeed of 40 knots (actually 40 knots backwards)

Oh, that explains it
