No, what I'm seeing is the wind coming from the right and the nose is fighting to stay to the left as if the wind is coming from the left.

You need to educate yourself about the weathervane effect.

The windsocks are sometimes showing the wrong direction. Weathervaning works as it should.

I wonder how many people Continually Increase Aileron Input During Rollout? Its why people question takeoff and landing inputs.

Just a couple of vids.  Hope this helps some of you all on crosswinds.

Also on crosswinds. I think the Pa27 has a limit if 17kts so if you have a 14kts crosswinds you going to get a spicy takeoff and landing 17+ meens you not going anywhere.

The PA27 likely has a "demonstrated crosswind component" of 17kts - but it is not a limit and you can take off and land and significantly higher crosswind components if sufficiently capable.

Here is some further reading to clear up the misconceptions (which are rampant in the flightsimulation layman community) about the certified crosswind component:

This is a constant problem.  I clearly see from the wind sock the winds should be hitting the aircraft from the right yet I'm adjusting during taxi as if the winds are hitting the bird from the left.  Straight into the wind is not a problem (headwind or tailwind) it's that crosswind that's in reverse.

Are you sure you're not weather-cocking in to wind - which is how it is.
