Syntax

public abstract class WindGeneratorBase : MonoBehaviour

Remarks

Wind affects aircraft by modifying airspeed and introducing disturbances. Subclasses can implement:

• Constant wind (prevailing winds)
• Turbulence (random gusts)
• Weather systems (fronts, storms)
• Terrain effects (mountain waves, thermals) The singleton Instance allows global access from aerodynamic components.

Fields

Instance

Singleton instance providing global access to the active wind generator in the scene.

Declaration

public static WindGeneratorBase Instance

Field Value

Type	Description
WindGeneratorBase

Methods

Awake()

Declaration

public virtual void Awake()

GetWindVelocity()

Returns the current wind velocity vector in world space at the querying aircraft's position. Wind velocity is added to aircraft ground speed to compute airspeed for aerodynamic calculations.

Declaration

public abstract Vector3 GetWindVelocity()

Returns

Type	Description
Vector3	Wind velocity in m/s (world space coordinates)
