PRO: S curve wind layer on water

PRO: S curve wind layer on water

by Honest Aaron3 months ago

Undulating, rotating, or fixed landscape motivated WIND LINE that modifies the current wind conditions on either side of the S curve with smaller adjustments. Example #1: Undulating line moving/rotating through water causing +3 wind speed and -5° angle on one side of the curving line and -3 wind speed and +5° angle on the other. Conditions on both sides of the line can change with wind changes. Line moves through the course causing more adjustments and strategy for racers. Example #2: Island or Trees/shore on side of course with permanent undulating line representing the way the shore can cause shifts and gusts. -10 wind speed closer to shore with +10° shift/ +10 wind with -10° shift farther out from shore. Gamers can decide if the increased wind and bad angle are worth it to play the lift in angle closer to shore, etc.

Additional benefits- we can "read" the water and develop strategies while looking where sailors look for strategies. Wind makes "sense" based on land conditions. Sailors can't just set it and forget it while watching an anchored boat for wind shift warning. (boo!)
