September 23, 200421 yr The Law of Buys Ballot (who was a Dutch scientist) states:"Winds are blowing from maximum (a High) to minimum (a Low). While doing so, they divert in the Northern Hemisphere to the right and in the Southern Hemisphere to the left". (Due to the Coriolis-force).In practice this means, that while climbing to higher flightlevels, windsspeeds aloft will increase and will shift clockwise when flying North of the Equator, and will shift anti-clock wise when flying south of the Equator.It's now about time, that Microdoft implements this important principle into FS, after having neglected it in all former versions.Paddy.
