June737, #1,
Don’t get too concerned about the theory of electronic guidance. The runway is always the primary reference for landing.
Crosswind operations are more art than science, although science provides the boundary conditions.
Getting a feel for the situation is important, as is being in the loop. These aspects are subjective, something which you have to learn with experience, looking - following through, and practice as allowed; knowing where the aircraft (cg) is, and direction and speed of movement.

Re #15 link: has anyone experienced the downwind turning effect during take off?
Would this particular mechanism have an opposite effect when using reverse thrust?
Is this a concern during takeoff in 737s with the larger engines - intake / fan influence?
