Double windsock problem

Featured Replies

Hello and a cordial greeting to all of you! I wanted to kindly ask you for advice on a problem I encountered: in almost all airports both in free and paid ones such as: TDM Santiago, Justflight Palma de Mallorca, I still see the sleeves of wind coupled, and never a single one even with single runway airports!!! I wanted to ask you: is it my problem, with my installation or is it a common problem for you too! Thank you all in advance and I await your more than welcome reply/ intervention!
Thank you again so much!

I believe this is a bug in MSFS. Having said that, IMO this is the kind of thing that should have been sorted ages ago instead of emphasis being on eye candy updates. I experience it at some airports, but not at all, as you have reported.

To be more precise they are coupled together, very close, almost on top of each other, and indicate the wind direction practically identically and together! Thank you very much!

Hi Rock, thank you, yes you're right it's not on all airports, for example I have those of Simwings like: Ibiza, Menorca, Gran Canaria and the are windsock  correct!!!

I have ORBX CBYD but had to uninstall the ASOBO version ti remove the duplicate windsock.

If it really is an MSFS bug I'm quite happy, certainly not because of the bug, but I thought my installation had some serious problems! Guys, is it a bug for others too?
A thousand thanks!!!

Thanks a lot for your replies guys, you are always very kind!!! Now I'm a little calmer knowing about this bug, I thought I did something wrong!!! Happy flying to all and have a good day/night!

Hi,

Yes, it's an issue from the very beginning of MSFS.

I don't understand how they haven't fixed this problem yet.

By the way, the double windsocks not always show the same wind direction!

Regards.

Hi John, for now I have found many double ones but they went in the same direction, so I will also expect the double ones with different direction!!! Thanks a lot!!

Hi, alexstrixevo,

In some cases, the direction that one windsock points is just the opposite of the other!

Very weird.

I have several addon airports where the author released an update after SU10 to remove a windsock.

Example CYCD:

UPDATE : Version 1.2 ( Nov 30th 2022 )

- Fix the double windsocks at the airport .

So it may not be an Asobo bug.. but a changed SDK rule that the addon author needs to adjust for.
