Ground effect too strong in windy conditions

Can confirm the ground issues as well (C172 Steam gauge)

Landing at CYUL (IRL winds were 240 @5, so a slight right headwind on 24L). Braking for the first Highspeed taxiway, the C172 was acting erratically. I stopped the plane still on the runway, could not move. Tried reving the engine up to takeoff power to get momentum, the plane was as stuck as a tree.

Even in real life if you get a flat tire, you can limp the plane on the ground (IRL the main gear did delfate on me when I landed a stable appoarch with my CFI, took at least 45 min to get the A&P out with a new tire :sweat_smile:)

In addition (X-post’s): [All aircraft] Crosswind takeoff/landing physics very flawed since release - #141 by monkiesandtools, [All aircraft] Crosswind takeoff/landing physics very flawed since release - #172 by monkiesandtools
