Stressful day but a good lesson all in all. Thanks Bruce!

Good job with the instruction. I don't want to be right, I just want to help with a couple of things. If we line up the centerline or centerline extended between our legs with rudder only, we will not have the wing wagging. We old tailwheel pilots want students to be tail waggers, not wing waggers. Use the rudder only dynamically and proactively (a gentle but rapid walk of the rudders) to nail any distant target. I jam my thumb next to the stick to prevent aileron movement. When the student looks over, I say no aileron. We don't want to turn, we want to stay lined up. Use the anti-turn control, the rudders. Between our legs is straight in any aircraft, even a Chinook where the pilots are six feet apart. Your slight angle works, but is less definite. The more precise, the more we walk the rudders to bracket the centerline, the less wing wagging problem we have. Yes, the aileron has to bank the wing into the crosswind. Once this is done it is set. So it becomes a rub the tummy while patting the head deal. Any change to drift correction with aileron has absolutely nothing to do with walking the rudders to bracket and nail the numbers. And finally we all crawled before we walked, we moved grossly before we became ballerinas. You have put yourself and your student in the hardest to learn crosswind situation: a light crosswind. A fairly strong crosswind requiring a lot of bank angle will give the student a much better picture of the side slip to landing. Gross is easier to see and easier to fly. Again good job.

Did most of my initial training on a da40 but the classic analog displays instead of g1000 years ago. Beautiful aircraft once you get the hang of it! I remember finding it really hard to roundout and flare the da40 compared to a c172. Roundout it and bleeding the excess energy was critical in a da40 to avoid ballooning. This video brought back many good memories. Thank you.

I think I might be reconsidering.

It took me a while to get sideslip coordination down and the nuance changes if you change aircraft. Once you have it, though, x wind is only limited by how far your rudder deflects.

Is it a good idea to train with Xplane 11 also?

Any training can be helpful but, a large element of flying is responding to the physical feedback that the plane gives you. You won't get that without an elaborate simulator setup. Having said that, the home sims are great for practicing on avionics, procedures and the mental side of flying.
