Answering all questions, (or some of them)

where got enough time to calculate in the game?
calculations are easy once u get the hang of it.

hi elfen, just gotta couple of questions.
for power computation, u said to add windpower * cos (angle). this angle, is it taken from the x axis, or the y axis? this would help me clarify things, thanks!


Sorry I missed that out, all my angles are with respect to the north, meaning, North = 0°, East and West = 90°

umm hi elfen.. ur notes are useful but i dun understand 1 part.. u said..


If wind is against you, add. If wind is in favour of you, subtract.Eg. 3m 45° wind against you:Add 3cos45 = 2.12

but.. why >> u use sin? Wind: 3sin40° * 1.125 * [1 - (1.68/100)] * [1 - (242-230)/100] = 1.88 squares rightand i calculated .. it's not 1.88 =/ if use sin, all multiply together is 1.928. if use cos, all multiply together is 2.236929442..._. i dun understand >.<

It is 1.88, calculate properly. U need to understand trigo. U use sin for angle calculations, cos for power calculation.
