To simulate windshear properly (i.e. in the right place at the right
time and magnitude), we would need to do a lot of meteorological work
that we're not doing right now.  However, you can get the effect of
windshear by specifying a large gust factor

  fgfs --wind=180@10:40

or by giving a JSBSim-based flight model a large turbulence value

  fgfs --prop:/environment/turbulence-norm=0.5


All the best,


David
