I believe this was the roughest crosswind landing I ever successfully landed.

GREAT shots !!

But the pilot in me must scold you for not dropping the upwind wing and cross-controlling to land (one wheel at a time) with the nose point straight down the runway Tongue

Seriously though.. that's an excellent X-wind landing in a sim plane

The same thing came to mind. I guess I havn't forgotten as much as I thought I have... Cool

But on the other hand, landing with upwind wing down, one wheel at a time, using opposite rudder with a joystick and not a proper yoke/rudder setup takes a bit of practice.. Wink

Congrats on landing Wink

Nice shots.

The mind is like a parachute...it only works when it's open.

Now you're blowing my mind Wink

One thing I was wondering. Is it better to use full flaps, partial, or none with a strong crosswind?

Thanks for the comments all. Happy New Year to all of SimV.
