Hi there, flying the latest Duckworks mod of the Asobo DC-3.
Can’t get this sim model to land nicely in a moderate steady crosswind. (approx. 10kt, no gusts)
Approach with a mix of slip and crabbing.
After touch down there is no lateral control with rudder it seems.
The thing just weathercocks into the wind like a piece of paper, the rudder feels inoperative, even if you smash it fully to counter the weathercocking.
I have not mastered a single landing in crosswind yet, that didn’t end up in the grass.
What am I doing wrong? (yes, tailwheel is locked. this behaviour is before the tail wheel even touches down. payload is usually between 30-50% in my flights, tanks usually far below 50% main and 10% aux)
I read the taildraggers are harder to control in the landing roll, center of gravity behind the front wheels, all that… but no effect of a full counter rudder input just after touch down, still going 60-70 kt forward? Is that really so?
