Hello , after having been away from FG quite long due to work, I was reading forums yesterday and found a thread where someone points out that ridge lift works reversed. ( http://www.flightgear.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=4706&p=61190#p58077 )
After investigation, it appears that the probes are reversed due to a little mistake when someone changed how the probe calculations are made. probe 0 is under the plane. probe 4 should be downwind, probes 1,2 and 3 should be upwind. in src/Environment/ridge_lift.cxx, line 174 is now : |double ground_wind_from_rad = _surface_wind_from_deg_node->getDoubleValue() * SG_DEGREES_TO_RADIANS + SG_PI; this should be : ||double ground_wind_from_rad = _surface_wind_from_deg_node->getDoubleValue() * SG_DEGREES_TO_RADIANS; This reverts to a correct ridge lift behaviour.
