For starters, I am a real world pilot and the issues I am having here seem to be overly pronounced. Whether I am in a BARON, BONANZA or 172 etc, it seems as if the slightest crosswind of 5 knots or greater induces extreme uncontrollability in the aircraft. Keeping the A/C on the runway centerline i…

There’s a pretty spirited discussion here, and an opportunity for you to vote if this is an issue you’d like to see addressed. [image] [All aircraft] Crosswind takeoff/landing physics very flawed since release Aircraft & Systems Please tag your post with #pc and/or #xbox.…

[image] RwpTurnip: Can anyone shed some light on this crosswind effect being overblown? It’s mainly tied to the design decision to reduce max deflection of control surfaces as speeds increase to “simulate” increased forces. There’s other things as well but this is the big one. If on PC open …

I cannot find the file in the BARON. Is this because it is locked by Asobo? Where would the file be?

[image] RwpTurnip: Where would the file be? If you’re using the Microsoft Store/Game Pass version and it follows the same file structure as other planes, it should be your base MSFS folder → Official → OneStore-> Asobo-aircraft-baron-g58-> SimObjects-> Airplanes ->Asobo_Baron_G58, then the fl…

[image] Raynen: If on PC open the flight_model.cfg file for your aircraft of choice, under [CONTACT POINTS] change the value of min_available_steering_angle_pct to 1.0 and you should find crosswinds less of an issue with light winds. From the C172 G1000 flight_model.cfg file it appears the d…

[image] BigCow74: So in effect your change increases the effect the rudder has when on the ground, is that correct? By default as you increase speed on the takeoff roll the nose wheel steering maximum deflection will gradually reduce until the sim only gives you access to 20% of the full defl…

I see. Then I wonder if this will be too sensitive in my case as I have both NWS and rudder assigned to my pedals. So as I’m using rudder at higher speeds, I will also be steering excessively…

This is such a big problem that I have stopped using MSFS 2020 on the Xbox. I just monitor this forum to see if a fix is going to be developed. No signs of that happening.

The weird thing is that I wanted to practice crosswind landings yesterday and the effect was nearly unnoticable. I flew curcuits at EHLE rwy05 and put in a crosswind component at ground level and 500ft (circuit altitude) at 350@9kts gusting 14kts 5 times per minute (to mimic the circumstances in my…
