• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Hi,
you must be able to open your xml with the explorer, then your code is written correctly.
There are some errors in your xml-code.
This would be the correct code:

And this is the code, can anyone help please.

For the coordinates of "12bPilot_SODE_Environmental_Data_Probe" enter the coordinates of the reference point from the airport.

Would look like this in your case...

<SimObject Name="egvnwindsock">
<Placement Lat="51.749986187" Lon="-1.582947224" Alt="288" Hdg="0.0"/>
<Model SimTitle="12bPilot_SODE_Environmental_Data_Probe">
<EnvironmentalDataProbe ClientList="Mat;Windsock01"/>
</Model>
</SimObject>

Maybe it helps.
 
I just tested it again with myself in P3Dv5 and it looks good.
But I don't use a weather addon and I changed the wind in P3D myself.
And my xml-code looks a little bit different.

I have removed the entries in red.
In green my new entries.

But the changes should have nothing to do with the double windsock.
I suspect it is due to an external weather addon.
