Henri_W Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 Hi, I noticed that all windsocks at the ORBX Sumburgh scenery point in the opposite direction compared to what they should do. Is this related to this particular scenery or could it be an error of FSX:SE? Everything else works like it should. I use Windows 7 Professional 64 UK. Kind regards, Henri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri_W Posted January 27, 2016 Author Share Posted January 27, 2016 Hi, Same problem at the otherwise magnificient ORBX Southampton (EGHI) airport. This really spoils the experience a bit. Landing and taking off with what looks like a tailwind, but isn't, is disturbing. Does anybody have an idea how to solve this problem? This definitely is not a problem on many other 3rd party airports I own. Thanks for your advice. Best regards, Henri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penzoil3 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Search "Windsocks" on the forum, and read. There are dozens of posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henri_W Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 Surely I did. And I also read one should mention in this forum for which airports the problem occurs, so that it might be corrected in an update. From what I read I do not get high hopes that it gets a lot of attention from the developers. I fail to understand how one can create such beautiful addons and then neglect such a crucial part. In real life I have a few hundred hours of flying time as a pilot. For the type of flying I did the wind direction could be a matter of life or death. Therefore, I probably feel more disturbed than the average simmer when the windsock indicates the oppositie direction. Anyway, lets see if it is tackled. For the limitied number of single airports released this should not be too hard. If all airports in a regional package have to be addressed this will take more time, of course. However, the single airports probably get visited more frequently by their buyers, so I would expect they get some special treatment. Until this issue is solved I probably have to switch to other vendors for future aiports. Best regards, Henri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Correia Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 These windsocks are being addressed in the quad installers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pavel.K Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 I hope OrbX with LM will found some system solution for region airports. Shift+Z instead of overflying airport to check wind is loosing charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Correia Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 LM won't fix it, they are no longer supporting FS9 hacks which is what our windsock models use. Hence the move to ObjectFlow windsocks at payware airports with the new installers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really looking forward to the updates. The beauty of the ORBX airports is second to none, so it would really be a pity to not enjoy them to the max.

Jack Sawyer Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Hi Ed, when you say they are being addressed by quad installers I was wondering when they are ready will they show up in red in FTX Central or will it require a new download? Thanks for all your hard work at making them even better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Hello Jack, The presence of a new installer will only show up in FTX Central if the version number also changes. Because the installers are new and contain the whole product, they are only available from your FSS account page, so yes, a new download would be required. A better way to keep track is probably the Release Announcements forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A better way to keep track is probably the Release Announcements forum Hi again Nick, I went to the forum and I saw some closed topics. KSEZ, KMRY, & KWYS, now all it says in the title is P3DV3. Does that mean those are the only changes? I have FSX so it wouldn't affect me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Cooper Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Hello Jack, Yes, as far as I am aware, if there is no mention of change in the release announcement and no change in the version number there is no change in the content. Also, as far as I am aware, there is nothing in the new installers for those of us who do not have P3D. Unless there is a specific mention of a change. For example ENJA Quote Hi all, The updated installer for our Freeware ENJA Jan Mayensfield is now available. Richard made some minor changes to the Northern Lights, hence the version number change. You can grab this new installer from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
