Default Landing/take off and ground behaviour

Hi guys, I know that most of you are busy kicking planes out of the sky at the moment, but I was wondering if anybody could spare a minute to give us more info on the behaviour of planes when near to or on the ground, since in the real world is a crucial part of the flying activity (and probably the most dangerous, other than being shot at that is..).

So my questions are:

1) what are the planes like on landing? Do you get ground effect? Are the CoG feeling better than normal? What's the suspensions/tires response on the landing gears (tailwheel included)?

2) regarding takeoff: do you get a lot of torque on the landing gears and on the rudder? Do the planes get affected by turbulence wakes?

3) when taxiing do the planes bounce about in a realistic way according to the difference surface?
