[HVW] Windsock Version 1

This is a must-have for a beach environment.
The windsock shows wind direction in degrees and cardinal points, and wind speed in meters / second and knots. If a person is into sailing, this is handy information.
2 prims?! Yeah, get it, it's a no-brainer ツ

It's extremely precise with its measurements. Plus, it's FREE! I concur with the other reviewer, get it while you can!

After spending the better part of TWO DAYS trying to do something similar in concept, and failing miserably (oh, how I hate trigonometry...), I stumbled across this FREE AND OPEN SOURCE windsock (but READ THE LICENSE first!!), with zero setup, just drop it and it will work exactly as advertised. And it will *really* work, unlike my own fruitless attempts at extracting an angle from the wind vector and properly transforming it into a rotation that LSL correctly applies to a rotating flag or something. Gosh, these things ought to be *simple*!

Thanks very much for doing this. I do *not* intend to use it for any other purpose but a personal one: figuring out *why* my own code is hopelessly screwed. Nothing like having a *working* windsock that *really* points in the direction of the SL wind and even kindly tells us, via hovertext, what the wind speed & angle is!

Also note that you get essentially the same item (different script, of course) for two-digit figures that do exactly the same without adding anything extra — rather, they *remove* the ability to have a look at the scripts inside and understand how they are supposed to *work*. Oh, and of course they don't have a 'demo' version for you to check — you'll have to trust *them* to be correctly pointing in he right direction! Believe me, it's harder than it seems, and no, what you have on the SL Wiki is not math-techy enough to build a *working* windsock.

So, grab this item before it's gone!

Ah, and don't get worried about the 'primmy' look of *this* windsock: it's *not* made of prims, rest assured, the LI of 2 is just because the flexiprim for the sock itself needs, well, its own prim. The rest is a nice, simple, LI 1 mesh, so you can't go wrong with this.

My (virtual) horned helmet is off to you, Carla — you're absolutely amazing!

I just love this!

works like a charm and can't go wrong with the price! Great stuff!

Why are you giving this away for free? For 0L, I would not have expected such a great object.
