    Just got rid of the totally oversized stock windsock by creating my own. It also behaves correctly, with each stripe representing approximately 3 knots. So a fully extended windsock indicates more than 15 knots. My upcoming Page helipad will be my first addon with the new windsock!

    ... and because the windsock works so well, I got carried away and tried my hand at a wind-animated flag ;)

    Thanks again, Federico, for the second wonderful tutorial!

    Moving my objects to a shared object library.

    • Less disk space required

    • Reusable

    All objects are adapted and optimized for the use in FS.

    More objects will be added to the library for new addons and updates.
