Wind speed, and gusts

[Haddock]

Hi

Where do I see the current wind speed? Is it in Beufort scale or which scale is it?

Also will there be any gusts in the game?
Mean ing that the wind can increase 20-60% just for some moments?


Also, why does it say left and right? Why arent you using Starbord side and Port side?

Right now, the wind is a fixed speed.  Changing wind speeds are planned for the future I believe.

 

We're hoping for gusts - but not until they implement rig damage.  If I'm going to fly everything, and get a gust, something should carry away.

 

I don't know about left and right, other than it may be more approachable for players new to boats in general.  That said, I think, for the period, you meant to say Starboard and Larboard.

I believe the wind isn't variable in game at the moment.  It would be interesting to see if they implemented variable wind speed.  Not sure if that's in the cards however.  Direction is definitely variable however.
