Windsock not showing up

Post by arneh » Mon Apr 02, 2018 12:25 pm

I'm trying to add a windsock to my airport by following the guide.
I've created a triangle at the top of my pole (size about 7 cm radius):

It's called Windsack1 in the object editor:

But no windsock shows up in the game:

What am I doing wrong?

If I look at the screenshot of your O file loaded in the OE, you will see that your Windsack1 has 0 vertices. Most likely there was some problem during the export. I don't recognize your modelling app, but for example in 3DMax, the triangle is created as a shape and has to be converted to editable poly/mesh so it is exported correctly.

Ah, yes, that was indeed the problem. Solved now. Thank you!
(modelling app is blender BTW)
