(I'm not a good pixel artist, forgive me and/or make prettier ones please)
Pretty straightforward, this mod adds kites to the game! Yes, those flimsy things on a string you let flap in the air. There's no wind by default in Daggerfall's weather management systems (that I found at least) so I simulate it. If there are other mods out there that add wind, that shouldn't interfere with this.
What's In This Mod?

[]Kites change their behavior a bit based on the current weather.
[]If you're flying a kite and you jump from some height, you get a free slowfalling effect
[]You can press and hold the 'K' button to reel your kite in a bit.
