Fsx Epic Crosswind Landings

Aircraft in flight are subject to the direction of the winds in which the aircraft is operating. For example, an aircraft in flight that is pointed directly north along its longitudinal axis will, generally, fly in that northerly direction. However, if there is a west wind in the air in which the aircraft is flying, then the actual trajectory of the aircraft will be slightly to the east of north. If the aircraft was landing on a northbound runway, it would need to compensate for this easterly component of velocity caused by the west crosswind.

Great video man....love the recreation of the plane comin down on cross winds..question: in order to experience the cross winds you just set the FX weather settings for that or there's like an addon for that?????

@cocolia6828 yes i had to set the winds on weather settings of rex

[lepauvconnnard]

it's not FSX

[guitargamery]

@lepauvconnnard ...lol its what??

[guitargamery]

your positioning on the runway is good but you have some work to do because once you touchdown everything pretty much falls apart.

Amazing!

From what I've heard and been told about crosswind landings this severe is first, Don't do them if you have the choice, two right before your landing gears touch down you are suppose to straighten the aircraft to prevent damaging the landing gears which also provides a smoother followup on the runway, and lastly any landing you can walk away from is a good one. Good job keeping it together see if any of these work for you next time.

Great work. Try also landing at Quito airport with strong crosswind...,

or crosswind landing with engine failure. Those should be some challenges.
