Wind & Turbulence

Wind & Turbulence explains how moving air messes with your jet. This section covers surface winds, crosswinds, gusts, wind shear, turbulence and mechanical/thermal bumpiness, and how they affect takeoff, landing, pattern work and low-level flying in DCS. The goal is to make you think about wind as a tactical factor, not just a number on the briefing screen.
