10-15 knots crosswind and the C172 is grounded?

How any aircraft in the SIM handles winds on the ground will depend on how certain values made available in SU9 have been tuned in the flight model for that particular aircraft.

See this post for an explanation

Aircraft that have not been tuned can rarely cope with even moderate crosswinds without serious weathervaning.

As you will see from the list, the Asobo 172 variants have not been tuned (will need to rechecked post SU12). The WB mod has had some minimal tuning.

I would just add that I do know there is another value to do with how much the nose wheel can be deflected at high speeds and this WAS tuned for the 172 in SU12 with some beta testers reporting an improvement in crosswinds, but they gave minimal information.
