Justin Case Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Hello! I made a quick video demonstrating crosswind take off and landing technique. An L-39 manual I found online stated max crosswind component at 20 knots but I find that very hard in DCS so I used 8 m/s, about 16 knots. 2 http://www.masterarms.se A Swedish Combat Flight Simulator Community.
Ramsay Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Very nice. I have difficulty taxiing if a crosswind is above 8 m/s and often 'tone down' the real world values I inject with 'DAWS Weather' because of that, rather than because of take-off/landing limitation. I'd guess IRL the plane taxis better or has ground assistance getting to the threshold. i9 9900K @4.8GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 11 Pro x64, Odyssey G93SC 5120X1440

Normally I prefer the way the MiG-15 simulates differential braking but with this wind the MiG was harder to steer even during slow speed taxi. http://www.masterarms.se A Swedish Combat Flight Simulator Community.

Flamin_Squirrel Posted February 24, 2016 Posted February 24, 2016 Nice! Do you hold a RW license? I'm sure you could manage 20kts. I managed a 22kts crosswind landing. Not easy, but you've already shown how to do it in your video: a gentle landing without floating seems to be the key (more important than straightening out with the rudder).
Justin Case Posted February 24, 2016 Author Posted February 24, 2016 Thank you for the comments guys! I'm sure you could manage 20kts. I managed a 22kts crosswind landing. Not easy, but you've already shown how to do it in your video: a gentle landing without floating seems to be the key (more important than straightening out with the rudder). 20 knots is possible but it gets messy unless you are really straightened out on touch down, I thought I'd show you something I could actually master (at least most out of 10 times ;) ). Perhaps I'm wrong about the importance of drift being zeroed out but that was how it felt when I tried it a few days ago :) Yes I have a license and I'm flying the 737, which I suppose differs from the L-39 so my opinions on its crosswind behaviour should be taken lightly. :music_whistling: http://www.masterarms.se A Swedish Combat Flight Simulator Community.
Flamin_Squirrel Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 Thought you might, you can tell you know what you're doing. Higher cross winds are tricky. I found there doesn't seem to be much roll authority once you touch down making it easy to tip over.
