Landing/take off and ground behaviour

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?

1) no ground effect. no tire response. (just sound effects tell you, when touching down - you will not "feel" it) I have the feeling ground has no bumps and no friction.

2) No turbulence/torque etc. Just give full power and it takes off by itself

3) answer under 1): no different surfaces: seems to be kind of "icy"

PS: As the FM is good in the air, I guess they can add the ground, when more important issues are resolved, or it is done "on purpose" to keep landings managable for the casual gamer.
