2(I'm not sure this is what I had in mind) can you give different pilot skins like giving them an oxygen mask?

1. Hit "z" to display airspeed. then turn on the runway to see were it';s highest.

2. it might not display properly if it's not modelled. YOu can swap skins in the characters folder.

WF,

Very little of the weather has wind modeled in to it. We did some for MAW, PTO and now ETO. The description of the weather in QC will tell you if I put any wind in it and from what direction. IE, "Low Cumulus Wind 270 at 6 kts ". There are several weather models in ETO that have wind in them.

Another way to check is to open up the XML for the weather and check near the top of the description lines. It will say wind direction and speed. Be advised that the wind in CFS 3 is exactly 180 degrees from what is put in the description in the XML. To get a wind of 270 you have to put it in the XML as 090.

Hope this helps.
