I haven't noticed any particular issue with crosswinds myself, but the fix seems to be illogical. I can't imagine what disabling wind on the ground is going to do for take-offs. How would the transition work? Has anyone shown that there is anything wrong with Andy's math? I'd like to hear what Andy has to say about this one. In the meantime I would object to this fix.
