Crosswind landings

Featured Replies

Was doing pattern work (touch and go's) yesterday at my RL home airfield in the stock 152. Had real-world weather enabled. Slight crosswind at about 6 knots. I have to say, he flight physics are pretty darn good. Of my 3 landings, two were pretty good, one was an absolutely perfect downwind wheel-kissing crosswind landing. 

I've found in P3D that some aircraft land well, others don't. For a stock aircraft in the sim to handle as well as this one does, I'm impressed. 

Ground handling is still appalling, but that's another story. 😊

FSX / P3D made you think you were a better pilot than you were. MSFS dialled that back. The realism is refreshing. 

(Yes, ground taxi is ‘game-ish’)

 

Are there "gusts" of wind (and most importantly an effect on flight model), when there are reported gusts? Seems the wind is always stable at "x" speed. Using real time weather.
