Narrative:

Departing on the zzzzz departure out of ZZZ; per the SID; we took off on a heading of 343. At 9;100 feet I directed the PNF to dial in a heading 273 also per the SID. As we tracked towards the northwest outbound course the winds were stronger than anticipated and by the time we would have intercepted the northwest course outbound the 'smart turn' function started toward ZZZ1. I was hand flying and decided to make the turn early so as to not fly over zzzzz as it would have overflown the point. The turn from zzzzz to ZZZ1 is fairly tight and I was concerned we would get spit out on the outside of the turn; so I followed the HUD for the 'smart turn' software and turned slightly inside zzzzz towards ZZZ1. As I started the left-hand turn towards ZZZ1; the departure controller mentioned something about a 'possible deviation' and told us to contact ZZZ tower and gave us a land-line number. I was climbing at normal climb EPR and following HUD cues for the climb. We were also VFR; well clear of terrain (no GPWS warnings or cautions activated) and there was no other traffic in visual range or on the TCAS. After calling tower; we were essentially told there may or may not be more information about this possible deviation. No other information was given to us which increased stress and worry about a 'possible deviation' and its repercussions. Operations at ZZZ are difficult on a good day with the high altitude and mountainous terrain. This SID makes it even more difficult with three heading changes (one to 273; one to intercept the northwest course outbound; and finally a sharp turn to ZZZ1 all while climbing to 16;000 feet). ZZZ needs to put more emphasis on the FMS based RNAV departure procedure to reduce the workload on aircrew and increase safety overall.

Narrative: Departing on the ZZZZZ departure out of ZZZ; per the SID; we took off on a heading of 343. At 9;100 feet I directed the PNF to dial in a heading 273 also per the SID. As we tracked towards the NW outbound course the winds were stronger than anticipated and by the time we would have intercepted the NW course outbound the 'smart turn' function started toward ZZZ1. I was hand flying and decided to make the turn early so as to not fly over ZZZZZ as it would have overflown the point. The turn from ZZZZZ to ZZZ1 is fairly tight and I was concerned we would get spit out on the outside of the turn; so I followed the HUD for the 'smart turn' software and turned slightly inside ZZZZZ towards ZZZ1.
