FSXA Duplicate "wind conditional" objects being loaded

[Ian P]

Hello folks,

Before trying to resolve some of my interesting visible range issues, I have been trying to set up some conditionally visible objects at the primary airfield I am working on at present.

They all appear but, for some reason, the Runway Caravans appear two at a time - always the same two. If the "active" is 34, then 16 and 34 will both be visible. If 22 or 28 are active, then both 22 and 28 will be visible. Ditto the reciprocal 04 and 10 caravans. I've recreated the entire file, gone through it umpteen times - I cannot see why with winds set to, say 220/08, as they are right now on my sim, I would be seeing both 22 and 28 caravans... But I am.

I strongly suspect that it's me doing something really stupid, so can someone please take a look at the XML file and see if they can spot what it is, before I really do run out of hair to tear out? The windsock and Active Runway "Tee" are working fine.

Thanks.

Ian P.

Hello Ian,

I don't know if it has anything to do with your problem but RunwayCaravan16 is missing in EnvironmentalDataProbe ClientList

That simple. Well spotted Jacques. Thank you.
