If I could wish for one thing only in FMS (which I enjoy immensely anyway) it would be for the ability to add wind. This, blowing onto the Switzerland slope scenery for example, would (in my ideal world!) allow simulated slope-soaring. Ahhh...bliss! (Well, for when I can't get to the slopes for real anyway). Whaddya think?

It would also help me with my Helicopter training.

I found out that if you hover in a crosswind it is the same flight charistics as forward flight. If the wind stops all of a sudden the heli dives for the deck.......

Cost me a broked landing strut.
It would be great if I could train for that on the sim....

Hi,
I agree with "wind" being a requirement. It is normally windy in Scotland and we fly in a crosswing.

There are many good enhancement suggestions here. I will add my vote for "wind" (specifically the ability to slope soar) as my #1 preference.

I realize that simulating an actual slope won't be that easy, as the wind flows around the slope in a more complex way than a straight breeze. But any approximation would be a good start!

Use the trim tabs!! 10 mile an hour wind or really crank them over for 50 mile an hour winds
:p

Wind is really important. Even better if it can create lift around slopes, and turbulence downwind of slopes. Thanks for what we have now.

There are lots of post requesting wind. Is there a way to make a sticky wish list at the top of the forum?
