Brief description of the issue:

Just noticed this trying to take off at Barra. The windsock indicates the opposite wind direction. Completely useless. And yet again I have to ask the question: how can something slip past testing that I literally noticed while attempting my very first take-off at that airport, within a couple of minutes? I don’t understand.

Provide Screenshot(s)/video(s) of the issue encountered:

Here are some screenshots with my aircraft’s nose pointing North trying different wind directions.

Detailed steps to reproduce the issue encountered:

PC specs and/or peripheral set up if relevant:

Build Version # when you first started experiencing this issue:

It seems an easy miss, but then again it depends what the testers are testing exactly. Unless you’re constantly making realistic flights during the tests with set strong winds (or live weather on a windy day), it could go easily missed.

Like you, I immediately noticed the problem on my first take off from Barra. Well, rather I didn’t notice, unless I began my take-off run - and realised something was very wrong as my aircraft started veering Together with the flap bug introduced in World Update 3, after I turned 180° I was practically in a hover in the stiff winds.

I could report via Zendesk but based on RoyalTot’s reply above I assume they’ll make a general fix for windsocks so their rotation will be ignored or overridden in scenery files, or something to that effect.

Hi i noticed this problem with windsocks at EGPR – Barra Airport.
This is the scenery from i guess the UK World Update

I think maybe this is not the only airport with this issue (i already have it with LFMD i bought in the store. I had contacts with the developer and now it’s fixed).
