No Wind Barb and other Layers

[stevebiker]

Hi,
although I’ve tried everything, I can’t get any Wind Barbs, or other layers to show up on the map. And yes, I found a post here, but it just said it was solved!
I am uploading a screenshot to show it.

Well, can’t do that here, too bad.

Operating system: Windows11 Pro
Sim: x-plane 12, current stable version
AIRAC: 2507 rev1

Thanks and regards
Stefan

Hi,
yes, that’s exactly how I did it before, but I still don’t see any wind vanes on the map.
Maybe it will work now with a picture.

I believe it depends on the zoom level.

I did get some barbs in the area you showed:

You may need to zoom out:

Try this and different areas zoomed out to confirm you are seeing some barbs.

Thanks, but the wind barbs are so small that you can hardly see them at all. I would have to look with a magnifying glass on the screen, my glasses are not enough. Is there anything you can do about the view?

You could try increasing your map scale!

Here’s the normal 100% scale

And here is 150% scale:

Thank you very much! That’s much better! This way I don’t have to buy new glasses.

Happy to hear that! Enjoy
