The wind is variable.  😂

Eleventy knots at 373 degrees.

Is it done yet? When will it be released? Will it be freeware or payware? How much will it cost? Any updates on the progress? Will it work for Xbox? Can I be a beta tester? How's the performance in VR?

I’ve seen the wind socks in almost opposing directions at opposite ends of our field when the winds are very light with the occasional gust.

That’s a tight wind swirl in that pic!

It sure varies from live actual doesn't it.  And if  you listen to ATIS?  Well.  That would be taking this topic in a wrong direction so I will not mention it.

All over the place (like the rest of us) - knows there's an Update coming.

I've seen double windsocks before on some TPC airfields. I just take an average.

The opposite way from what ATC has you land or take off.

In the scheme of things to get this sim into compliance with reality, ATIS and ATC are clearly part of the "opposition".  LOL!

Now we have to figure out which wind sock belongs to ATIS and which one to ATC 😄
