Ballistics Calculator for the Vertical Component of Wind

Anybody know of an on-line ballistics calculator that accounts for the vertical component of wind?

All that I have found assume a vertical starting point (zero) that's fixed (input by user) that won't change no matter how the wind speed and direction are manipulated. I'd like to know the calculated vertical between a 5 to 10 mph headwind vs. tailwind with the same aiming point.
 
Strelok has the ability if I am understanding what you are looking for. Unfortunately, it is on the banned list due to the Ukraine/Russia war. Maybe someone in your area has a copy of it since previously purchased copies still work. Or, I have heard it is available to buy on Apple. Maybe someone else has better ideas.
 
Strelok can be had from Huwai app store. Not currently available on Google Play, Apple or Samsung app stores.

In Strelok, go to settings, you can add vertical component to wind as well as spin drift.

Thanks for the replies. I don't have an Android device, but it looks like it can be used on Windows and a little gymnastics. I'll give it a go this weekend.

For anyone that wants strelok If you know enough about apps, and Android you should be able to find the APK online in various shadowy corners of the Internet and be able to side load it on your phone.
