IYP actually recovered the aircraft fine, but on final approach about 1000ft is
when there was no hope of landing properly. I crashed about 4 miles from the
field.

I'm sure if we can manually land, we could avoid crashing due to weather like
that. One of the faults of IYP, and is probably one of the reasons why MCE devs
won't implement any form of autolanding.

A few days ago I tried to fly a Learjet 45 from Kansas city toBlind and Visually impaired Pilots mailinglist
Oklahoma City, but I had a rude surprise that awaited me on approach
to KOKC. What I did not know and both IYP and RC4's weather did not
tell me was how bad the weather really was on approach to it. I was
getting tossed around like a toy, and 3000 to 4000 foot drops happened
twice on approach, and I eventually crashed into a lake or pond
outside of the airport. It would have been a worse outcome had I
decided to use a turboprop like I was thinking of doing origionally
for that flight.
