Does AirSim support ArduPilot wind settings? #3111

OS: Win10 Airsim ver. - 1.3.0

Basically, title. I tried to change wind settings from ArduPilot console, using "param set SIM_WIND_DIR" and "param set SIM_WIND SPD" which resulted in... nothing. I'm wondering, if I did something wrong and/or forgot to do something to make it work, or if it's not supported at all.

From what I understand, many of the SIM_* parameters in AP only affect the default SITL, and doesn't cause any effects with external simulators, where the simulator provides the physics. AirSim currently doesn't do any communication of parameters so no, modifying the parameters wouldn't make any changes. You could try using the newly added Wind feature in AirSim for the same purpose though
