Tower 3d Pro Wind Indicator

The arrow is facing the correct direction as it shows the direction that the wind is moving.  The issue is airplanes need to fly into the wind when taking off and landing.  Most commercial weather displays either use a dot or the arrow points inward.  Here is an example wind at 266 degrees:

Yes, in RL I am an ASEL and am very familiar with wind displays. Please note that your picture corroborates our complaint -- the numeric is 266 degrees and SO IS THE ARROW. In the program, they are 180 degrees apart.

Hi, In my opinion, if you consider  the white geometric figure as a tetrahedron, then the wind direction indication is correct. If you see it as a wind sock, then it is not correct.

I must apologize for my above erroneous comment. I thank Sky King for his explanations.
