Tested with the 'high end' ('study level?') A320 by iniBuilds.

 

I don't have a dog in this fight but have ZERO idea what that video was supposed to show or why I watched a plane sitting on the ground with blowing trees but I love the option to set snow depth!!

This is @flying_carpet ‘s favourite past time. Making nonsensical videos that don’t really say a lot trying to disparage MSFS. They have this weird mission that they need to accomplish for whatever reason and against all rationality.

just check their YouTube channel lol, it’s hilarious.

Is this videos about trees? LOL

Boring...

Ok, so ... some of you are (or pretend?) to be RW pilots. And you don't get what (didn't) happen in the video? How did you get your pilots license (sorry to be this harsh)? I'll give you a second chance/hint: look for the heading of the plane. Look for the direction from where the wind blows. Look for the wind speeds. And do some simple calculations and conclusions. Further hints on request.

No thanks... not interested.

You're saying the wind should blow the airbus off the runway in hurricane force winds?  Not necessarily.

Yeah, realistic, 100+ mph cross winds on a snowy runway..   LOL.  Waste of time. 

I'm a Real World pilot and even after your explanation I have no idea what is being demonstrated. I would like further hints.

I can't figure out if the BOTs are making the thread, answering it or both. 🙂

I genuinely wouldn’t try to entertain this because they have no interest in having an actual discussion. They’ve done this several times and when called out by actual pilots they ignore them and goad other people to get a reaction.

they are in essence a troll. I mean just look at their last post on the thread that was a polar opposite to this one.

I'd rather normal scenarios are modelled as accurately a possible instead of totally unrealistic ones - who would be lined up on a runway in those conditions anyway (real-world pilot and instructor)?

Maybe ... However, it should shake/move at least A BIT - some centimeters or even millimeters. I have set the wind to (max.) 75 m/s = 145 kts in my video. Real video ...

 

Should I try the same with the default CTSL? Or the default X-Cub? Or even the default Hawk Arrow? I did already ... Result?

If you run out of arguments, some people become personally insulting, or come up with ridiculous, insubstantial arguments. Old country saying.
That's the problem with some MSFS sta.s: they don't look close enough. Before setting the crosswind to the max speed, I had it also at (e.g.) 5 m/s (10 kts) - not realistic??
I wonder why all aicraft in a hurricane area get moved before the storm arrives.

Plane heading: 255°. Wind direction: 165°. Difference: 255°-165°=90°. I.e. exactly crosswind - with increasing speed. What should happen with the plane?

 

I just didn't want to make it tooo easy, after all, we're not in primary school here, but in a flight simulation forum, right? 😉
