Hi ED-Developers,

 

I found an problem with the direction of the wind.

In my point of view the definition of "wind-direction" is the direction the wind is coming from.

In the missioneditor I can add wind and adjust the wind-direction.

But in the game the direction the wind is coming from is exact the opposite of what I adjusted in the mission editor.

 

So the wind-direction I can adjust in the missioneditor is the direction the wind is leaving to. Not the direction the wind is coming from.

 

Please ED, give me a statement. Will this be fixed? Or am I wrong?

It is not a bug. Mission editor does not use meteorological wind direction (to which most people are used to), but uses navigational one.

Aha... and the navigation-wind-direction is the opposite of the meteorological-wind-direction?

 

Yes. However, keep in mind, that not whole game uses navigational (a.k.a. true) wind direction. Towers announce wind using meteorological direction, so that you can easier turn into the wind without any calculations. Avionics of Ka-50 also use meteorological direction of wind.

Still, the briefing screen should include directions from where the wind is blowing from otherwise it is confusing for the pilots.
