Subject: Move the turbulence "airmass" according to the local wind.
X-Git-Url: https://git.mxchange.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dfffe9c9249cb6ad011fbbb1796733042f97da47;p=flightgear.git

Move the turbulence "airmass" according to the local wind.
Clean up and better document the magic numbers in Turbulence.cpp
