Sim training only. And yes, of course it included crosswind landings up to maximum. I’ve tried several different methods but I obviously can not comment on how this translates to the actual aircraft. Landing gear/tire stress mentioned by yoko1 above is obviously also not much of a concern in the sim. I’ve tried landing fully crabbed in the actual plane with crosswinds up to 20kts which worked out okay comfort-wise (although it did not feel natural to me). But 30+ crosswinds is perhaps a different story.
