Your aircraft flies through the air; that's aerodynamics.
Neither your wings nor your ASI can identify crosswind
or downwind; tha'ts geography. They connect only at
touchdown

I was learnt to adjust the airspeed in the following
way:

(normal landing speed 90 kmh)

- when you need to move your stick more than halfway
to the left or right
to keep the plane horizontal, you are flying too slow...

- when you try to fly 90 and airspeed is varying between
70 and 110, fly
110, so airspeed will always be more than 90.

I agree with all that, when the wind is straight on
the runway!

But, I wander if this is true whatever the wind direction
is 90 degrees,
or worst, let say 180 degrees. Is the rule 1,3 Vs
+ wind speed still right
to use,
when your final is downwind?
