question

I'm running into a strange issue with my custom windsock. At least one of my airports (Fantasy of Flight) is showing the wind around 180 degrees off heading, however the rest of my windsocks are fine. Nearby default windsocks are also fine, as well as my other custom windsocks within a few hundred nautical miles.

I have noticed that windsocks are typically about 15 degrees off heading from the true wind direction, but never have I had one this far off and there is no difference in placement that I can find.

Let me preface this topic by stating the following:

1. All windsocks displayed in the photos below are using the exact same Windsock model from my own object libraries.
2. They are not included in each individual airport package.
3. The Windsock is oriented correctly in Blender with linear interpolation for the rotation animation (0-359).
4. The SimObject XML code is the same, no matter what texture variation is used.
5. The rotation animation code is calling the default "ASOBO_WindDirection_Template".
6. All windsocks are rotated to 0 degrees by hand in their respective scenery placement XMLs.
7. The same weather, wind direction and aircraft orientation were used in each photo: Aircraft faces due East by the compass, clear skies preset, wind out of the East at 11, no gusts.

This is the template being called as pulled from my Windsock's XML:

<Behaviors>
        <Include ModelBehaviorFile="Asobo\Misc\SimObjects.xml"/>
        <Component ID="WindDir">
            <UseTemplate Name="ASOBO_WindDirection_Template"/>
        </Component>
    </Behaviors>

This first photo is my Chunilna Cabin Strip in Alaska. It's Windsock is correct. Minus the roughly 15* off that I mentioned in the second paragraph - but this is consistent with all of my windsocks.

This one is of Snowflake lake, which is just a few NM West of Chunilna in Alaska. Same deal as before.

This one is at Bowman's Beach Heliport. This is on Sanibel Island 120mi (193km) to the Southwest of Fantasy of Flight. The Windsock heading seems to be mostly correct, but it is definitely more than 15 degrees off heading.

After that, finally we come to Fantasy of Flight which is nearly 180 degrees off heading.

I will follow this up with two additional photos. The first is from Lakeland just a short flight (17mi / 27km) to the Southwest. It is a default airport and the windsock appears to be nearly spot on. The second is a weather vane I have using the same default orientation template and same positioning practices as the windsock. It and the windsock (not shown) down the runway are correctly orientated. This airport is 90mi (145km) Northeast of Fantasy of Flight.

Any ideas as to what could be causing this? Everything that should matter is completely uniform.
I can go to each airport I listed here and verify the exact same result 100% of the time, so it does not appear to be intermittent.

Thanks!
