Has any of you used the Xwind 200 simulator training for crosswind practices? Is it any helpful? Thanks.
 
I'm sure it would be helpful. You can probably do the same at home with a PC flight sim/yoke and pedals.
 
I had my first into to X-Wind landings in a Redbird Sim. Helped get the muscle memory and the sight picture figured out before doing it for real.
 
I'd just go with FSX and a yoke and pedals off Craig's list or ebay.

Or just get in the plane and do it, best choice is pick a smaller plane like a Champ or 7ECA, if you're a trike kinda guy, a 150/2 or such.
