Anyone else experiencing this? I was playing Xbox series x and literally thought I had My fuel selector on one side because the plane wanted to roll over and come to a stall while on final. Happened on a vision jet flight and c172. I had to dial the weather back to low just to make things manageable.
Looks similar to that issue reported under SU2, so maybe not SU3 related: Extreme crosswinds and wind swings close to the ground on final
Possiblyā¦.. maybe I havenāt noticed it on days where the live wind was pretty calm but any sign of gust and it becomes completely unmanageable. Anyone have a solution besides reducing wind? I put it at low but someone else said medium. Not really sure whatās the best route to take.
Do you mean Turbulence in the Assistance settings? Thatās how I fixed it.
Iāve noticed the same since SU2. In earlier SU3 beta flights Iāve run into those same issues when flying in hot/warm areas like Hawaii and Key West, Florida, usually on short final as I descend below around 500 feet. My solution/workaround was to turn down Turbulence to Low.
I havenāt flown in over a week so cannot speak to conditions in 1.5.12.0 but the description sounds like what Iāve experienced.
Very frustrating that - realistic isnāt the realistic optionā¦
There is definitely a bug happening. I took off from LOWI in .13 build and as soon as I took off it felt like there was a huge gust coming from my right and it flipped my plane. I was using the new Piper Dakota. There was nothing I could do to stops it barrel rolling over to the left and then i crashed
Have the same bug, it was blowing 30kts almost 100 ft above ground where it was reported calm.
I was landing at YSSY 2 days ago, Live weather A320Nv2, Winds were 28 gusting 34 from 240 - 260 degrees and. ATC put me on RWY 16R approach (I wanted RWY 25). True I never piloted a real A320 in these conditions but the wind positioned me almost sideways (manual approach) at about 200ft AGL.
The wind felt over exaggerated compared to some similar experiences on other flights. Go around and ignore ATC safe land on RWY25 like every other aircraft that day in real world.
Maybe we need a real pilot to test this. Have seen (like many of you) some crazy crabbing in real aviation, once I could see a runaway from my seat on final approach so who knows maybe we are too soft and the reality is much harsher.
With a 30 knot crosswind, at your landing speed, you would have the need to crab almost 30 degrees into the wind to maintain centerline.
As some of the other posts, if the sim is building winds correctly, depending on the situation, you could be running into updrafts (Thermals) at the ends of the runway, mechanical turbulence from the trees and buildings, wind sheer, or even wake-turbulence (if another aircraft just landed or was taking off). Personally I have not noticed any outrageous turbulence (I have mine set to realistic). And yes I am a real pilot.
This is what it looked like. Perhaps it was sudden gust, or wind sheer (however I have never encountered wind sheer warning in sim on xbox and donāt know if it is even simulated). But it threw me around more then ever before in the sim.
Real life conditions were atrocious at the time, which is what made me want to simulate the flight. ATC however was totally off the mark for RWY choice. My FP was choice of RWY25 and set to override in the settings so it should have never given me RWY16R. But it is beta and thatās what makes it fun chatting to likeminded people.
But at this rate, weāll get to version 1.5.30 before we see any real changes. Otherwise, give it another 2 years and theyāll announce FS2028!
I have not noticed any āwrongā winds in the sim, as well.
Have turbulence to ārealisticā, and barely notice any turbulence, especially in airliners.
If you have 20-30kts crosswind in a GA A/C, you simply donāt land/TO there.
As an ATC we had crosswind of 20-30kts the other day, and we had 7-8 go-arounds of airliners in a couple of hours.
So, no idea if the winds were āexaggregatedā, but x-wind/turbulence/gusts/windshear is a challenge irl as wellā¦
Another flight today and the issue persists. All of a sudden at around 150-200ft from the runway a mysterious wind blows the aircraft away. I am also using realistic turbulence settings but there was no other aircraft landing before me. Strangešµāš«
Same here. Itās all I can do to keep the 172 from flipping over at about 200 ft after takeoff. Winds were 5 kts at less than 20 degrees off the runway heading.
Something is definitely wrong with the turbulence on landing for me.
Using the SWS Kodiak 100 it seems to go crazy in the final few hundred feet before touch down.
Itās not crosswind related as twice today I was landing with a direct headwind of about 6-10Kts. At one point I had the wings almost vertical but just managed to save it and went around for another attempt but aborted when I got the same turbulence at about 200ft.
Flying the A2A Comanche Iāve noticed this too. Typically everything is looking good on approach but just before crossing the threshold the plane gets blown off course. I though it was my poor landing skills but Iām not so sure now. This happens in both live and custom weather.
Same for me across justflight arrow 3/3 turbo and 4, new c210t and the new Dakota. I also get it when taking off around 200ft mark too and really have to bank into it to fight it.
Happened at KSSF in the Dakota on runway 14. Wind was 154 at 8 kt. Barely made it, but didnāt crash. TBF, the weather at Stinson is not good at 1615 CDT Jul 6 and there is a convective SIGMET for a large part of Texas.
Yes, same here.
Aircraft was sucked down when flying over a mountain ridge like as there was no more air around it. Resultet in a crash
Wind was gusting to 30kts
sure very heavy winds, but that special downdrift over mountain ridges isnāt realistic at all
