I think the Asobo developers who are responsible for the flight model (and in particular the ground handling) need to put down their cheese baggett, Gauloises and glass of wine for an afternoon and go flying in a real GA airplane. Maybe with their managers. If they’re not pilots themselves, go to a flight school and ask for a demonstration of a soft field takeoff, how the aircraft moves on the ground in response to control deflections, crosswind behavior, etc. The new ground handling model of SU15 was presumably the showcase feature of the update but instead it’s kind of embarrassing. We’re long past the era where the highest echalon of flight simming was flying tube liners on Vatsim. With MSFS 2020 and it’s beautiful representation of the real world, GA flying is now an important aspect of the game. A 15 knot wind matters to a C172 more than it does to an A320. Ground handling, crosswind behavior, slow flight behavior, etc. in light and moderate winds are all a big part of GA flying.
