Ballistic calculators that account for the winds effect on elevation adjustments?

Applied ballistics and others account for aj. Some don't, like shooter. I use shooter most of the time for an app or ab if conditions dictate a bit more complicated processing. I don't use the app much since I run a ballistic bino

How about a wind from 12 o'clock or 6 o'clock? I was thinking a headwind would cause POI to be lower and a tailwind would cause a POI to be higher. Aerodynamic jump is caused by a crosswind as the bullet leaves the muzzle.
Under 9 mile an hour it's hardly anything over nine it can be quarter or half a minute

So it looks like the Lite goes to 500 yards but what is the difference between the Long Range and PRS version?

Here's a great read from awhile ago. It addresses the Head wind and Tail wind BS. Never been a factor, most of the time it's your parallax, my opinion. Also, your standard SD's will have more of an effect, which I believe is mentioned in this link. https://www.snipershide.com/shooting/threads/calculating-tailwind-ballistic-effect.7112540/

Shoot in some big wind switches then one will see the effects of aerodynamic jump on a larger scale.
The Eagleman app does what you ask. I can pair it with my Wind Zero and it gives real time elevation changes with the wind.

Long range gives you access to everything including shooting at basically whatever distance you want. PRS includes moving targets and multiple lanes and stages for competition.

Bought the App, looks very cool, have only played with it a little. Is there a user guide or user group forum where suer questions can be asked or a FAQs page - like how do you save a rifle and ammunition combination?

I have used the Ballistic AE, Hornady, Lapua, AB (old version and new), and downloaded Eagle briefly. Of all the ones I've tried, I like the AB Quantum the best. The old version was not good. The new Quantum version is outstanding. I have several CDM packages and those have been more consistent than anything else I've tried.

CDMs are really the way to go for sure
The new ab is better. It took a little bit to learn it but so far it's growing on me
