Hello, I recently purchased the YSSY scenery for MSFS via Orbx Central. Scenery detailing is amazing as always having previously purchased your projects for P3D.
However I noticed the mismatch in the orientation of all the windsocks. They are off by 180 degrees relative to the METAR for both live/custom weather. This seems to destroy the realism as it looks like you are departing/ arriving in a tailwind.
Perhaps you are aware of this, but it seems there is a simple solution to this by editing the xml files pertaining to the windsock.
Something along the lines of changing the heading value of the windsocks from 179.9995 to 0.0000 via the scenery editor (had read it online). I am not a developer, so not too sure on this. Again not sure if it is an "ASOBO fix" as well as the default airport works fine. If it is not, request you to provide a fix/update for this.
Have attached a picture as well.
Thanks.

Thanks. It'll be fixed in next build.

Cheers. Thanks.
Also can you confirm if whether there is no configurator to enable/disbale certain features of the scenery for MSFS?
Couldnot find an option to do so from Orbx Central.

Those old config apps won't work. The files are compiled to a single bgl so swapping around files to turn feature on/off isn't possible.
