Active runway vs wind direction

[Topgun505]

Ok a really stupid question here.

 

In the ME, when you are selecting wind speed and direction ... are the arrows showing the direction of travel of the wind ... or what direction of origin they are coming from?

 

I ask this because I have a ILS training mission set up and the arrows for wind direction for the lower 2 bands are pointed to the left (what I assume is a Westerly flow) and thus my thinking is that the airfield I'm operating on should have runway 08 as the active runway (instead of 26). I'm needing runway 08 to be the active runway because it is the one equipped with ILS.

 

However ATC is telling me runway 26 is the active runway (and thus the ILS gear is inactive).

 

Am I wrong in reading the wind indicators?

In the mission editor you set up the wind (like any other element; look at the arrow of the icon! :o) with a HEADING, i.e. where it "is blowing to".

Resolved. Didn't realize I had selected dynamic weather later on which over-rode the previous static set weather.
