Good point, Lift Formula.
I also reckon it's handy to have a rough rule of thumb in aircraft lengths per 5 kt of wind, say, that will give an idea of how far back the aim point should be from the termination point, and that can be worked out over a few auto sessions in different wind conditions using runway cone markers or whatever to see what works for the particular machine you're in (will also be affected by weight and DA, but at least it's a start point).
