The basic concept of some stationary models and the way in which these models are used for and in how far they influence the determination of stellar and wind parameters of massive hot stars are discussed. However, as follows directly from the assumption of stationarity, these models are inherently incapable of describing a number of additional observational features, which immediately show that the nonstationary aspects of the wind must be of significant importance. A number of these features are discussed: the soft X-ray emission; the discrete absorption components; the temporal variability of the wind lines, where the blue edges are varying most significantly while the red emission part remains relatively constant; the electron scattering wings of recombination lines in Wolf-Rayet stars; the black troughs in saturated P-Cygni profiles; the variability of optical lines; and the nonthermal radio emission observed in massive stars. The basic picture resulting from the present dynamical models is discussed.
