Because it's asking you to open the airport in ADE, move the windsock, recompile the airport and save it in Addon Scenery\scenery so it over-writes the original.

...and don't forget to remove the; "Pass either side" sign, at the same time... ;)...!

It's just Microsoft's MO.  Case in point, every Windows release since 3.2.  Why waste money on quality control when you can rush a product to market and get a bunch of disgruntled users to inform you of what needs to be tweaked?  Simple economics, really.

Because when you create software that supports 24000+ airports all moderately accurate your bound to mess a few things up.
