I found when designing KPLN Pellston for FSX and P3D V4.5 that they do not use concrete blocks to construct their segmented circle for the windsock but instead the more modern and cost effective approach I am sure is steel structural framing and aluminum sheet. I was fortunate to download the engineering drawing of its construction with specifications and sizes of materials and with the aid of Sketchup and its engineering toolbox to create it just like the real ones. The segmented circle is 100 foot in diameter per FAA regulations and the segments are eight foot in length and separate by 1/2 width spacing just again like FAA specs. It is freeware and you can use it in any of your airports. If you give me credit for design it would be appreciated but not necessary.

There seems to be an up tick in Political commentary in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site we know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religiours commentary out of the fourms.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politicion will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment amoung members. It is a poison to the community. We apprciate compliance with the rules.
