ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
Been experiencing extreme crosswinds (from 30 to 60 Ktns) right before touchdown in almost every flight on live weather.
During final the wind seems Ok, but right before touchdown the direction swivel sometimes 90 degrees to the other side and the speed picks up super fast up to 60 knots (super unrealistic)… always throwing me off the runway.

This issue have been happening no matter the weather condition around the airport.
For example today I had calm winds and sunny day at Barajas, on final my winds were 5 to 7 knts comming from the right side but right before the flare it again swiveled to the other side and went up to 45 knots in seconds.

Provide specific location or coordinates:
Europe any airport any weather condition.

I’m having the same issue with SU 3 1.5.10.0 on Xbox Series X. I reduced the turbulence in the Assistance menu from Realistic to Medium and that fixed it. But then turbulence everywhere else seems too calm.

Yes the turbulence since .10 is crazy…… it’s completely not realistic. On low it seems much more realistic. I didn’t try it on medium

I’m also on Xbox series x….. and it also occurs on 1.5.12.0….. I was flying a Cessna 172 and it was literally wanting to turn the plane over on final as if my wing was barely hanging on and the verge of a stall. Not a fan :frowning:

I’m not a fan of the serious up and downdrafts that occur with clear skies pretty much every flight. I don’t think thats realistic. I’m on Medium Turbulence now but Im going to try Low. Drastic downdrafts that could bring down an airliner should be a rare thing.

This occurred to me last night at KCOT. Crashed 4 times at on final approach in the Carneado Mooney M20R. There was extreme losses and gains of airspeed on final and went nose down. This was in clear weather. Its been happening to me late into the SU3 beta cycle.

It happens to me in everyflight also in FS2020. I’ve also just reduce Turbulence settings but nothing happen.

• Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• happens on every flight, at least with Live Weather (which I almost always use). I can compare some of the flights to real world flights in a C172, and can safely tell the turbulence in MSFS2024 have nothing to do with the real thing, being at least 4-5 times stronger (that is, 5 kts behave like 20-25 knots at least).

• l agree. I simply cannot land 90% of the time.

In addition, whilst cruising, the A320 wobbles about alarmingly most of the time.

There seems to be something wrong!
