Perk the wind sock!!!!
Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.

I think it would be cool to have Wind Socks in game.  Nice Idea  :aok

People have been crying over windsocks at the RoF forum since the game was released.  The developers add new aircraft, new functionality, and everyone says, "what?! No windsocks??"

Track IR

Doubt you'd be able to see it unless max zoomed in on a very tiny object in a very specific part of the field. By the time you saw it you'd already be landing (and it would be too late to help).

Remember, in real life you can see a lot of things that a mere game cannot hope to replicate. Real life you can see the swirls and sways of the grass itself as a cue, dust blowing, can "feel" the plane drift under you, etc...
