Setup Wind

The Wind window sets the wind in the arena. Open it from Options, Arena Setup, Environment, Wind.

Offline you can always change the wind. Online only a Campaign Manager (CM) can change it. If you create your own arena, you are its CM.

Wind layers

The wind is set in 16 layers of 2,000 feet each. The first layer is from the ground to 2,000 feet and the top layer is 30,000 feet and above.

When you set a layer, the same wind is also set for every layer above it. So start with the ground layer and work up.

Controls

• The list on the left has one line per layer, the ground layer first. Select a layer to see its altitude band in the Altitude box and its current wind in the boxes.
• Heading: the direction the wind comes from, 0 to 359 degrees. 0 is wind from the north. The line below the box shows the direction as text, for example "N to S".
• The compass buttons N, E, S, W and the four buttons between them fill in the Heading for you. Pick the side the wind should come from.
• Speed (0 - 127): wind speed in mph.
• Rise (-127 to 127): up or down movement of the air in mph. Positive values move the air up, negative values move it down.
• Set Layer: sets the selected layer and all layers above it, and sends that change to the arena.
• OK: sends all layers to the arena and closes the window.
• No Wind: removes all wind from the arena and closes the window.
• Cancel: closes the window. Layers already sent with Set Layer stay set.
