1aviator1 - thankyou, I am well aware what VRS is and how it is caused - I was trying to explain that a crosswind or a yaw manoeuvre is very unlikely to produce sufficient airflow to cause VRS in a TR.
The thread is concerned with which crosswind to accept and that is straightforward, you take a crosswind from the retreating side of the disc (from the left on an anti-clockwise rotor) if you are short on power because you use right (non-power) pedal to stop the aircraft weather-vaning into wind.
If you have control authority problems - running out of pedal or lateral cyclic (poor design or a large tail fin) then don't try to hover crosswind.
Winds from the 10 o'clock or 2 o'clock (depending on the direction of rotation of your rotor) can cause the MR tip vortices to disrupt the flow into the TR/fenestron giving yaw and Tq fluctuations.
Winds from the aft quadrants on either side will try to weathercock (weather vane) you into wind - (the helicopter fuselage is designed to fly forwards) - and so will always cause problems with heading control.
