Wind sock only on starting AP

Post by n98Bk9-NT3 » Thu Apr 24, 2025 3:15 pm

I’m working on converting my C2 scenery to C3. After some time, I noticed a strange phenomenon on the windsock.

Currently, the windsock is only present at the starting airport, while all other airports lack it. When I landed at a different airport from the starting airport, I could see only poles without a windsock.

I’m not sure when this issue started, but I’m concerned that I may have made some mistakes during the conversion process.

Could anyone shed some light on the cause of this discrepancy?

Thanks,

Naoki

Hi Naokl,

I'm sorry I only saw this question now, has your problem been solved yet?

Do you always take off from the same airport, if so, what happens if you take off from an airport where you landed and didn't see the windsack, do you see the windsack or not?
If the windsack is not visible then check that the triangle is placed on top of the pole.
If that is ok check the airport O file if everything is correct (see images)

Hi, Jan,

Thanks for your attention and advice.
The object file itself does not have a problem, but I forgot to mention important circumstances.

That airport has a runway with a loose C-shaped curve, so I separated it into two airports with different directions.
I am afraid that the overlapping of the two airports might be a cause of the problem. I am working now to prepare two completely separate airports.

I will report the results later.
