At one point we breifly discussed a rules based way of placing windsocks. It actually isn't all that complex, but it needs to be coded. Basically you'd have to put one near the end of each runway and just one in the middle at short fields (off to the side of course, or we'd have a sock in the way). I wouldn't necessarily bother placing it at all rendered airports, but rather just calculate the placement for the airport you are taking off from, at the same time the take off position and tower positions are calculated. This would probably be more reliable than trying to maintain data. You could always have the function check for data (if accurate positions are known) and only generate positions when the predefined data is absent.
