March 5, 201214 yr Author All the airports should have windsocks (but not all the small airstrips), they can be hard to spot at times (but they are lit at night). And they do all work: This one is at HILO Aha, I've been misreading the wind icon. I thought the arrow pointed to where the wind is coming from. but no, according to that image and the windsock the arrow is actually showing the direction of the wind. Silly me.

March 5, 201214 yr Me too. Oslo Fjord. Great 24 hours races.RayI only raced small 2-man boats in college (FJs and 420s) . . . I was the crew/windshield (I was ALWAYS wet).I raced mostly in Rhode Island (where I went to college) and in Boston. But I was on a nationally ranked team (#2 in North America during my senior year). And both my coaches raced on team USA 1 (and were world champions) Edited March 5, 201214 yr by Arwen ~ Arwen ~ Home Airfield: KHIE
March 5, 201214 yr The easiest way to remember how to interpret windsocks is: The sock points to the runway you want to depart/land. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
January 10, 201412 yr Somehow my Wind Direction arrow is now off on my HUD. Does anyone know if there is a way to turn it back on? I'm flying the T-45 Freewear.
January 10, 201412 yr Oh, too bad. But it was fun looking back to a time when there was so much interest and hope! Steve
January 10, 201412 yr A blast from the past! :lol: The wind indicator is only active for winds over 6 kts., I believe. Best regards. Luis Hot, humid Caribbean paradise!

I'm not familiar with one for Flight. Thank you.

January 12, 201412 yr Probably Dino Cattaneo's T-45 for FSX Acceleration and Prepar3D, converted for use with Flight using the Flight Toolkit.
January 12, 201412 yr I was able to convert the T-45 (Dino Catteneo's) into Flight, but unfortunately by Flight has stopped working all together recently. I'm going to do a full re install today and see if it solves it. Then I will try to get some photos of the T-45.
