Wind physics are terrible.

Anyone else see the wind an issues when trying to takeoff and land? Anything over 5 knots and the second you lift the nose the plane is twisting and flipping. Also I is nearly impossible to land with a 10-15 knot crosswind when you touchdown the plane is literally bouncing and trying to flip like a toy.

Indeed. I tried adding some wind to enjoy some landing in crosswinds, but had to switch it off for that exact reason. Approach was kind of fun, but the moment the plane touched wheels it was uncontrollable.

by the way, back to topic:

Just in the last few days I noticed that as long as you add a few knots of wind and\or wind gusts It's fine. I usually try a landing. take note of the bearing, than go to weather settings and set a few knots of wind around 90° relative to my bearing, to spice things up. No problems after landing, with the couple of planes I tried to do this. Also adding some turbulence (not too little) adds some shaking even when flying with autopilot on, feels more like realistic.
