Great stuff, BBall! Very entertaining and informative. I know what I'll be doing when I get home tonight... ...cartwheeling across the apron in a ball of flame, I suspect.

What's your opinion on the 'Turbulence' aspect? I was tinkering about with a 20 mph cross-wind at a turbulence setting of 30 m/s*0.1 and it was nice and squirrelly on finals. Was just wondering how it compares to RL experience. Mind you - not too sure I'd appreciate that IRL - No RCVR button  Viper, To tell you the truth, I've never played around with the "turbulence" option. I'll have to play with it and see what it's like. Sidebar: I was landing in KLAX one day behind a Qantas B747-400. The "Santa Anna winds" were howling, and it was moderate turbulence all the way down final (the crosswind was about 40 degrees at 30 gusting to 40 kts). After he touched down, he exited the runway and asked the ground controller if he could stop and hold his position for a bit. The ATC guy asked why and he said (I'll never forget his response)..."We would like a company vehicle to come out and look us over...we think we broke something." I'll let you know what I find. cheers, BBall

Shep, you give up the Lear in YWG for a 737? Haven't seen you since I was flying the DC-9.
Cheers!

Great post! DCS can count on my purchase of anything they release in the future after DCS: Black Shark and now DCS: Warthog. For real crosswind excitement, try anything above 15 knots at 90 degrees in a DC-3! Cheers! Rick...

I sure hope this inspires folks here to make great tracks (and post them) of challenging weather landings!
