ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:

Mechanical turbulence close to the ground is absolutely wrong. The aircraft often requires full aileron displacement just to keep the wings level, and this condition lasts for more than one second or two, making the approach completely unstable. Such a thing would never happen with a crosswind of 20 kt or so. My turbulence setting is “realistic”. If feels like the aircraft completely lacks aileron authority all of a sudden the same happens with other aircraft I fly (e.g., BlackSquare TBM). Real world corporate pilot.

Weather settings:

Real Wx, but at a location with gusty winds and close proximity to trees/buildings that could cause mechanical turbulence

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

How often does this occur for you (Example: Just once, every time on sim load, intermittently)?

Every time winds are strong

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Load the citation longitude, for instance

  2. Approach to a location where the THR is close to obstacles (KDAB 7R or 16 work)

  3. Set crosswinds of around 20kt

YOUR SETTINGS

If the issue still occurs with no mods and add-ons, please continue to report your issue. If not, please move this post to the User Support Hub.
