Apologies if I'm teaching you to suck eggs but to some degree (SWIDT) it's much the same, at least until the actual de-crab, when flying anything long bodied on an approach with the drift on. You fly down the approach with the flightdeck tracking offset to the upwind side of the centreline.
On those if you've got it right then as you flare and push the drift off the aircraft yaws and the flightdeck returns to the centreline..I'm guessing for the Buff guys they flare and accept the offset remains on touchdown
