Hi there, I am lagging behind by a year or so in terms of training my landing...
I do really suck with Live Data for the weather, my landing is really approximate as soon as the x-wind gets above 10kts. I remember Thorsten saying to do decrabbing, I think I do now (never flew a plane before, virtual or real), but with a x-wind of 12kts, rudder pushed to maximum, I am barely able to land straight. And once on the lane, rudder locked to maximum, brake only on one wheel to maximum, no way, I am drifting out of the lane following the wind...
I really do think this is the wind that makes it hard. Even after wheels stop, I can measure it with the Shuttle's instruments, got a number around 8-10 on the HUD even at rest. And if I put a good weather, the landing is easy. So guys, any tricks to share?
I have duckduckgoed a bit, found this:

for landing at KTTS. I've found peace watching this...
Well, this seems to happen even to the best
