I have a feeling the crosswind and gust components got changed after the emergency rwy change. Notice the gusts over max xwind were not announced after the emergency? Did the winds really die down or were they reported diferently or not reported at all? I have played this game in the past so know they can be different.
The captain will have to explain what he did so let us wait for the final report. I still am waiting for the investigation to be completed before stating any opinion. At this point I don't have one.
