Ground physics - any change in new patch?

So I think Ill side with the Australian Bureau of Meteorology definition for now, until someone comes up with a better one.

You don't need to tie your Spitfire with ropes in CloD with winds below 18mps, or even higher. You just need to use differential brakes and propwash when taxiing.

If your plane starts to slowly spinning with winds acting, use wheel brakes. Wind act on control surfaces, and vertcial stabilizer works like a sail in crosswind. Thank's God for that and differential brakes, or we'll need ground crew in CloD to push our aircraft around...

The planes in CloD don't fly away or spins like crazy even in strong wind speeds. And we don't need a truck to spin a Spitfire using tailwheel, or taxiing will be really hard.

Use brakes. Or give some proof that the behaviour in CloD is really a bug. I don't think so. After all, the Australian Bureau of Meteorology don't said that you can sit on your Spitfire without brakes and with tailwheel unlocked with some wind and the aircraft will not spin.

We need more consistent data to confirm this is a bug. Can you provide some usefull info?
