Mad approach in XP11 thunderstorm: CRJ into EGCC

[Chock 17,769]

In checking out X-Plane 11's weather depiction, I cranked up the Aerosoft CRJ-200, set up a thunderstorm and then went for a quick circuit, so, no V-speeds set up or anything, didn't even check the weight, just a seat of the pants landing, into updrafts, downdrafts, turbulence, thunder, lightning, hailstones. Good fun, and a very bounced landing owing to having to come in steep and fast because of all the windsheer. Wouldn't wanna try this one in real life, think I'd be diverting lol:

Far out, that was a nice battle.

Wonderfull rain-effects too. Small rain streams going up the windows, that is making sense because the plane is descending, is the effect reversed when in a climb?
