Chiming in a bit late on this thread (the video scared the F out of me) So, I must apologize, as this is an extensive thread.

I have been in the sim at Alteon quite a bit for RNP procedure validation, and we certainly did a bit of crosswind simulation depending on the location.

One thing I had noticed, looking around, was very seldom did I see a sim on full motion, in fact when we went full motion they had some 'concerns'. As a general question, when training in the sim, are they using full motion?

In the sim, I didnt experience the severe gusting crosswinds (as shown in the video) We took some of the settings to the limits, but didnt get that severe gusting effect on full motion. We did get sideways, but I dont remeber the ac rolling around like that.

Again, late to the party, so apologies in advance.
