Wind speeds should not be uniformly distributed. This switches to a Weibull distribution which allegedly (see the bug) is good enough. Experimentally that seems true as well, though I know nothing about how wind works irl. This at least looks like it'll generate reasonable variation in missions while keeping the 1st through 3rd quartile behaviors from getting out of hand. I'm very uncertain about the scaling factor aspect of this. Naively the wind speeds at different altitudes ought to be somewhat correlated, but I'm not sure how much, and whether this kind of scaling is at all the right way to do it. As before, meh, close enough? Fixes https://github.com/dcs-liberation/dcs_liberation/issues/2861.

About DCS Liberation
DCS Liberation is a DCS World turn based single-player or co-op dynamic campaign. It is an external program that generates full and complex DCS missions and manage a persistent combat environment.
Note that DCS Liberation does not support the stable release of DCS. We can only guarantee compatibility with either the open beta or the stable release, and more people play the open beta. DCS stable might work sometimes, but it's untested, and we will be unable to fix any bugs unique to stable DCS.

Roadmap
Our plans for future releases can be found on our Projects page. Each planned release has a Project, and the page for that project has columns for to do, in progress, and done. Items in the Done column are in the preview build for that release. Items in the To do column are planned to be added to that release.

Special Thanks
First, a big thanks to shdwp, for starting the original DCS Liberation project.
Then, DCS Liberation uses pydcs for mission generation, and nothing would be possible without this. It also uses the popular Mist lua framework for mission scripting.
Excellent lua scripts DCS Liberation uses as plugins:
- For the JTAC feature, DCS Liberation embeds Ciribob's JTAC Autolase script.
- Walder's Skynet-IADS is used for Integrated Air Defense System.
Please also show some support to these projects !
