Solved Possible to Modify Minimum Wind Speed?

Any idea if this can be done?

Game can get depressingly boring travelling at 0.1 knots 50% of the time. The median wind speed in this game, or at least in GOF, is annoyingly low. I've travelled around the world and the fastest wind speed I've seen is 14 knots..

It seems the values for this resides in Weather\Init files under *Weathers[n].Wind.Speed.Min* and *Weathers[n].Wind.Speed.Max* for all applicable weather patterns.

As someone who likes to do a lot of real-time sailing for trade runs, I found that a minimum of 4.0 and maximum of 17.0 works exceptionally well to preserve both balance and sanity levels. Managing a 5.5 knot average (accounting for moderate crosswinds) on each full length trade run. Feels perfect!
