Hello, 

 

I did a few landings with a crosswind for example 25 knots(30 knots  is maximum, the book says ) pretty often the F15E crashed after touchdown and made a roll and lost the Wing. I used the typical technique for X-Wind Landings a Decrab with Aileron into the Wind and Rudder against and I have tried it even with not this technique. I did same X-Wind landings at same conditions with the Tomcat and F16 and the fighters never loosed a wing. The F16 is I think harder to land at X-Wind because the Falcon is smaller and the Tomcat is harder too fly in my experience. I hope you can rework this I would guess it is a problem with the landing gear even the DCS F15C has the same issue.

What works for me is to get the nose wheel on the ground asap. Otherwise the same thing you described happened to me all the time. Whether or not this realistic I don’t know.

Same here, as soon as the (main) wheels touch, the aircraft starts rolling in the wind, lifting its upwind wheel in the air ; it's often controllable, but sometimes it's too much and the aircraft just cartwheels !

Definitively a bug in the FM, imho.

Also, maybe linked or maybe not, the ground effect is exaggerated in the FM.
