Flying into typhoon Lekima

Hello all,
Today I went on a flight around ROIG, with @J2S I did it in a B787 IF 2018 livery, where a caregory 4 hurricane Lekima is raging🌀. To let you know this was my first crosswind landing and it was really smooth!


server: Casual server to avoid any violations.
Time: I did it this morning ar 9am


An uneventful takeoff with nice wingflex:


In cruise, nothing happened except that the wings were shaking… Lots!


on the ILS Runway 04


Moments before touching down, lots of rudder was needed here!


Landed on Runway 04 at ROIG with beautiful wingflex. This is my favourite screenshot


Landing was so smooth I didn’t realise I landed myself 🤣. This is my smoothest on my record. Bit ironic because I did it in a hurricane

It is a typhoon, since it is occurring in the Pacific.

I really enjoy that wing flex. Anyways, how are the winds in IF. Cuz I know they are pretty strong in real life, as that typhoon is currently over my city.
