What is your suggestion?
Have aircraft approaches and departures behave differently depending on Wind speed and gusts
How would it work in the game?
At the moment, landing aircraft sway a bit before centring to land.
Would be interesting to see the METAR determine how little or how much an aircraft wobbles on approach before landing. Just as examples
10lts or less Aircraft would just fly in straight with no effects
10-20kts Aircraft wobble a a bit like they do now
20kts+ aircraft shows a bit more dramatic movement before touching down
Crosswind landing would also cause aircraft to land in a more dramatic landing depend on the wind speed
For the departures, planes take off straight out but with certain wind conditions they ca also have some unstable departures
Why is this a good idea?
Would bring realism, as when the wind is calm, planes don’t have difficulty landing, stronger winds would bring more challenges in stable approaches and landings. Would also be something that the METAR will have an effect on. Would also be a nice variation to the same standard landing we currently have
This could also be a way to introduce go arounds.
Again just an idea to make the game visually a bit more interesting
