Straight-ins at uncontrolled airports?

You are completely misinformed again.

You must have incredible vision to see the color of a pilots eyes from

downwind leg.

No, it is not. The upwind leg is aligned with the runway; it includes the
final and departure legs of the pattern (some people consider that it includes
only departure), and the runway itself. If you're on the upwind leg, you're
either landing or departing traffic, or you're about to collide with one of
these.

There is no leg on the opposite side of the runway. You're not supposed to be
on the opposite side of the runway. That's why patterns are designated left
or right.

An upwind join means that you are flying right into departing traffic.

You of course knew this because you had read about
traffic patterns and spend 30 seconds googling the term upwind traffic
pattern.

_Someone_ needs to read a bit more, that's for sure. At least I can't kill
anyone in a simulator.
