Extreme crosswinds and wind swings close to the ground on final

Yes, it happens in Free Flight with turbulence set to Realistic as well.

Hi Paulofranca89, you really helped me with this. Thankyou very much!

Exactly this! On smaller runway it’s a nightmare to land!

How is this still not bug logged? That’s one of my main frustration with career mode.

We need a fix please. It cripples careermode badly!

I just crashed a plane because of those ground-level turbulence, in the career mode.

That is no fun, after an perfect flight to crash like this, because of this issue in the career mode of MsFs24.

Hopefully they, Asobo / Microsoft, will be able to fix this asap.

At this moment i am not trying to play the career mode anymore because of this.

Here is something you can do for now till it is fixed. In settings Assistances / Turbulence I have set to Medium. Turbulence are still there but muchly reduced.

This works in Free Flight, but does it in Career as well? I’ve seen people say it doesn’t. IDK, I don’t play Career myself.

I only play career. Works for me.

Don’t hold your breath. They have failed to fix it since release. It has always been a problem. One of the big reasons I stopped playing career mode early on.

I don’t think they have even acknowledged this as a problem, which is just absolutely wild to me.

Somebody here a few weeks back said that this is caused by the aircraft, especially smaller ones, not having enough mass/inertia in the sim. As a result they get blown around like paper airplanes.

IDK if this is true or not, but it makes sense. That’s what it feels like. If it is, perhaps that’s why this hasn’t gotten addressed sooner. Maybe Asobo is focused on the wind and not the aircraft themselves. They may not be seeing the problem because they’re looking in the wrong place.

Just throwing this out there. If I find the original discussion, I’ll post a link to it.
