I will put in a mention for the vFlyteAir Grumman Tiger...it's a nice ride with a nice panel. I've flown it a bit recently and was quite happy with it.

I got the Tiger recently and have found it to be noticeablyt less docile than, for example, the Carenado equivalents. Definitely an interesting ...

Just tested in the Carenado Baron, the rudder authority just isn't there. Spoke with the fellow responsible for porting these models to X-Plane and he's aware of the issue. Unfortunately, they're tweaked the way they are so they are relatively docile (I suspect it's to match the feel of FSX, since ...

In my experience on FSX, Carenado isn't particularly attentive to the true flight characteristics of an aircraft. I can't speak specifically about this simulation or X-plane.

You should always be aware of your aircraft's maximum allowable crosswind component. This can be found in the pilot ...

I can't speak to the airplane or simulator quality.

What I can speak to is the maximum crosswind that an aircraft must be able to handle.

Per Part 23 an aircraft must be able to handle a crosswind of at least 20$ of Vso. For a M20J the Vso is around 58kts, so the aircraft must be able to handle ...

I find in most X-Plane aircraft that a little toe brake is needed to keep the plane on straight in a crosswind landing situation. I have all the Carenado aircraft and a lot of other payware aircraft and way too many freeware planes to even count and I find I'm using rudder and toe brakes whenever I ...
