No Crosswind

Featured Replies

The new NGX for some reason at about 500 feet agl, does not need any crab and will " lose" the crosswind effect. No crab is required below 400-500 feet. The wind is set all the way to the surface. You can see it on the HSI and the heading and track will be matched instead of crabbed even thought there is a 90 degree 25 kt crosswind. Any ideas?

Full names in this forum please. Using default weather with MSFS or an add-on?

Had exactly the same thing. Done several approaches with a 90 degree crosswind, anything between 15 and 30 knots. Disconnect a/p between 1000 to 500ft agl and no crabbing or correction required. Using REX but thought that was just a texture add on.

Never got a response from anyone on this.....Why no crosswind below 500-800 feet with strong crosswind. You can see the crab slowly disappear.

Never got a response from anyone on this....

Maybe if you signed your posts like Dan asked, you would have gotten a response.

 

Try an extreme crosswind- something like 45 or 50 knots and see.

Thanks!

Ya know, I got my name on the post and it sure doesnt seem like mine are any differnet than some of you other guys post. Thats why it says NEWBIE. Im looking for a little help and all I get is crap.

 

Didnt realize it was this difficult to get help. Signed ED Jones.......

 

I've donated over $300 to pmdg over the last few years and when I ask for a little help with their product I have to deal with jag offs like you guys. Reflects poorly on PMDG. I will do my searching on google and delete my account. Good job guys. O yea, Im sure you guys were born genious and never need help. Makes sense now.

I also had this problem, I fixed it by setting the Realism Settings to "Hard" (you can disable crash tolerance" and then crosswind has an effect on landing!

Do you need to do this if you are using a weather add on, such as AS Evolution?
