Hmm, I don’t see any “I want this too” button or link on that page.

Oups, my bad the button’s name is “follow” and when the mouse rolls over it’s labeled “I want this too” . PS: I have edit my message.

So I understand how this works, it “points” in the direction you want to land/takeoff, so it’s kind of opposite of a wind sock, which kind of points to which runway you want to use (if I explained this clearly…)
