Wind direction disappeared from HUD

Featured Replies

The last few days of flying, whether it be clandestine missions, or aerochaches, my weather speed and direction no longer shows up on my HUD. I thought nothing of it for a while, thinking that maybe the mission had no wind. I've checked my weather settings and it looks like I should at least have a low wind. It seems there is really no effect on my A/C but that is probably to do with my current settings. I have noticed that the socks at air fields still do indicate a low wind and direction.This missing from my HUD is probably what some people would prefer actually, but I'm kind of missing it since there's no other way for me to know the wind except finding wind socks now. And suggestions?Cheers.Darryl

same thing here , cant see how strong the wind is and the direction

I think when wind is lower then 3 kts the indicator will not show up.

Ah that would be a good thing to know. I'll go test that by changing the weather.Yeah, should have checked that earlier! It's showing wind now... enough to push my Icon forward while sitting on the tarmac.Cheers,Darryl

Yes, I know someone from the beta posted this bit of information, can't remember what the exact windspeed was when it dropped off the HUD, but it does when it drops below that preset number.
