It would be nice if they fixed the wind model, but tbh I wouldn't really like it that much except for under group ride circumstances. I'm there to get exercise. Sometimes I get annoyed that the road goes up and down because I'm trying to hit a power number and then the gradient eases and my power drops.
I thought about reducing the "Trainer Difficulty" setting to zero before doing the Zwift Academy Finish Line ride. The last climb - about 10 minutes of threshold+ - has a couple dips that make it hard to maintain a steady power output. But I didn't. I just shifted up and even so my output dropped 100 watts.
