The low wing and T-tail configuration of the F70 and F100, plus an MTOW (Maximum Takeoff Weight) in the realms of half that of more conventional narrow-body airliners, can make the aircraft more susceptible to windy conditions. The low ground clearance of the wings also results in a more pronounced ground effect, and increases the risk of wing tip strikes on landing if the aircraft is not wings level during the flare and touchdown phase (we have added wing scrape sound effects in the event that you do experience a wing strike!).

Users are able to customise the strength of the simulator turbulence in MSFS Settings. The location of the Turbulence setting differs slightly in each simulator: 

MSFS 2020: Options > Assistance Options > Piloting > Turbulence. 

MSFS 2024: Settings > Assistances > Realism > Turbulence. 

Based on pilot feedback that we regularly receive during the beta testing phases of our products, we are told that the default MSFS “Realistic” setting produces wind effects that are much stronger than what would be experienced in similar conditions in the real aircraft. We would therefore recommend setting the Turbulence option to LOW for a more realistic and stable environment when flying airliners in MSFS.

For users who have external hardware that can allow for independent control of the Nose Wheel Steering Axis and Rudder Axis, we would also recommend disabling the RUDDER STEERING AXIS option on the EFB tablet. This will disconnect the nose wheel steering from the rudder pedals, significantly improving directional control during takeoff and landing.
