av8orDave Posted yesterday at 01:48 PM Posted yesterday at 01:48 PM Not sure whether to call this a bug or just unrealistic behavior. Anyway, flew a mission using a relatively minor (~15 knot) crosswind about 30 degrees off the runway angle. Both taking off and landing were basically impossible. On landing, no amount of rudder would correct the nose alignment to the runway, and when the plane touched down try to correct it to stay on the runway resulted in a wild bank and a crash.

Can you share a replay track or mission file ? Where was this ? Also note that AFAIK DCS ground winds in the DCS brief/ME are at sea level - so if the airfield is elevated, the actual surface wind may be substantially higher.

AusGoose Posted yesterday at 03:05 PM Posted yesterday at 03:05 PM G'day, Above 25 knots crosswind, it will become unmanageable for most people. At 25, it is still going to be difficult. Even 15 knots crosswind is a fair amount, there is work to do! Tips: Flap 50 approaches. Transition from crab to wing down early (~75 feet should work) Needs heaps of aileron (Basicaly all of it) Be bold with the rudder Get on the nosewheel steering after touchdown Don't jam the power straight to full reverse, be gentle as you fly it during the ground roll. It won't look pretty, but can be done. And it will take time to master, stick with it. Cheers!
