Landing with 25 kts crosswind. According to the chief developer, "...there is a big difference in how you land it, compare to the FSX planes. As the FSX plane would skid with the same angle along the runway, it had to use for the crosswind correction, you don't have to align the nose along the centerline prior to the nose wheel touchdown. However with our model its no longer the case, the plane has to be aligned prior to nose wheel touchdown".

Here are two small low quality videos made with a smartphone from the computer screen. They show something new to FSX: correct stall simulation.

The first one shows a classic power-off wings stall at low airspeed and a relatively high angle of attack. Notice how the plane becomes unstable close to the stall speed, then flips quickly

The second one shows a stall due to an engine loss. The airflow from propellers creates an additional lift to the wings. If the speed is very low, the loss of an engine removes this additional lift and the wing can stall. In this video, the airspeed is about 115kts and the engines are at maximum continuous power (90% torque, 1020rpm) creating maximum propeller-induced lift. As soon as we switch the right engine off, the right wing stalls and the plane spins to the right.

Here is an example of icing and a power-off stall. You can see the ice forming progressively on the wings' leading edge. Note that the icing affects the stall speed.
