Nope..

That was covered a long time ago..

We have narrowed it down to a simple test that proves it is not wind, but something else

That being when you spawn your plane (most notable the Spitfire) it starts to spin into the direction of the wind..

And, if you apply the breaks the plane will STOP spinning.. As expected

But, if you release the breaks the plane does NOT START spinning again

via deductive reasoning

1) The wind speed and direction is the same before and after you apply the breaks..
2) The plane spins before you apply the breaks
3) The plane does not spin after your apply the breaks

Therefore.. something changes when you applied the breaks.. What? Not certain, but knowing a little about flight modeling I would start looking at the planes initial contact force vales (coefficients) and how they get initialized.

Theres a reason for instrumenting a plane for test..
That being a pilots's 'perception' of what is going on can be very different from what is 'actually' going on.
