[adrianstealth]

how do we activate the wind socks around airports .

 

can't see them and some how they are deactivated for me, can't find in options

do I have a bug ?

By default there are no windsock(s) at airbases. You have to place the windsock(s) in each mission you create via the mission editor. They are a "Static" object.

But the windstock static doesnt react to real wind right? as far as I know its just a static windsock at +20 knots hehe

It will properly show the wind direction, (so no need to set it's heading when placing it) but the speed/strength of the wind is always shown as very high. The sock has but one strength animation which is great for +8 m/s and above but looks way too strong for lower wind speeds.

 

Still nice to see the direction in relation to the runway and maybe ED will improve on this in the future?

editing?

 

thanks, they should be at airports as standard and have some reaction to wind strength
