I suspect the LaRCSim is the most accurate. It is possible to taxi (carefully) with those winds, but takes considerable planning and operation of the controls to make it work out safely. However, that crosswind is double what the aircraft can manage at takeoff speeds, so the aircraft is likely to flip over as soon as you get a significant groundspeed, unless you manage a lucky skid-yaw turn into the wind. You should try for the intersection with the north runway and use that. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
