  Is that going a bit far, sine and cosine for the wind? I don't know, maybe it's not, people will try everything to improve in this game!! It's crazy!! lol

  Sins and cosines just divide a vector, such as wind, into it's horizontal and vertical components.  They're just there, like PI and 2+2.

  Well, I've just had a shot hit with 100 yard wedge travel 102 yards in 12 mph HEADWIND. Personally I think on numerous shots the advertised wind actually DISAPPEARS, wether its a flaw with the game or deliberate, but one things for sure its damn frustrating when it happens..lol

  Yes, I've had it drop off entirely from a high value and gust up to a high value.  Ten or twelve yards of compensation down the drain puts one is some bad places. Fortunately, it's relatively rare. (A rarer "rare" would be nice ;-))

  Ruined an RG for me today. !7mph headwind...made my usual adjustments...no wind at all ....ended up in the trash behind the green. I expect variations but this kind of nonsense is preposterous.
