@ChaoticBeautyI assume you are ChaoticSplendid over on the official forum? Voted for your morphing question. I hope this time they comment on it.

Got my vote, too.

Not sure if it's as simple as adapting the ORBX method, but they have to fight terrain morphing in some way - finally.

Kind regards,  Michael

morphing do not occur everywhere; some areas more than other; nz is an area where morphing is minimal

I think happens especially in areas where they introduced new high-res mesh.

Excellent - Voted!

How on earth they can put so much work into getting turbines right first, when the ground handling/crosswind model is awful and affects ALL aircraft is beyond me.

Then again, Aerosoft (or Aerosoftobo as I call them) have a Twin Otter turbine in production don't they... there you go.


Call me Bob or Rob, I don't mind, but I prefer Rob.

The community always asks some awesome and important questions as well highlight some technical findings, only to see Martial Bossard act surprised and completely clueless on the topic of the questions like he’s never seen a flight sim before.

He promises to follow up or update us on the next Q&A, which never really happens of-course so we all end up back to square one.

This posting focuses on wind. I am not an expert on flight physics, but I find nearly all planes (at least the small ones I fly) have a tendency to terribly break out to the left or right directly after landing, even with minor (and I think even no) wind present. So I'm not sure if it's a pure wind effect or more.

I've never landed a real GA plane myself but I don't recall this behavior from any other simulator I've flown so far.

Kind regards, Michael

P3D has the same issue, just not as pronounced.  IRL...no...you'd flip the wing first, and you would have to be in some pretty strong crosswinds for that to happen.

Tendency for clockwise rotating propeller is quite normal . So right rudder is attribute of many no wind take offs. The amount of rudder though varies from airplane to airplane. Some more powerful engine will generate stronger torque and slistream so they needed to be properly trimmed prior take off otherwise there could be not enough rudder authority . Milviz Corsair comes right to mind!

However, other than rudder bit sensitive MSFS presents another problem. Say no wind condition airplane taking off little right rudder to keep centerline. More speed more right rudder. Now, let say we have direct crosswind 15 kts. Airplane now will be push to the right and wind will want to lift left wind. So we put aileron to the wind (yoke to the left) and  some rudder to the left so wind wouldn't push us to the right. Instead in MSFS if wind comes from left instead of left we press right rudder because airplane tends to weatherwine. Meanwhile wethervaned airplane starts pushing tail and nose to the wind; hence, we weering left and right fight wind drift and compensating for weathervane!

My point is airplane should wethervane only when they become airborne right after lift off. Then we call it "crab" - nose pointing toward wind and we try to offset drift by offsetting heading toward the wind.
