Weather radar range.
-
Afternoon. Loving the RJ in 2024 and can't wait for the 146 to come across too.
One thing I've noticed in recent days is the weather radar displayed range doesn't seem to match the selected range. Flying into Dusseldorf with storms I didn't get anything depicted at 300 NM until I was essentially overhead the aerodrome - it seems like the display is depicting weather at ~5 NM instead. This isn't just the 300 NM range, all selected ranges seem to be less than expected.
I've taken some comparison images compared to the G1000 weather radar with a rain shaft off the nose at ~ 10NM:
RJ, radar set to 50 NM:
RJ, radar set to 300 NM:
G1000 radar set to 10 NM:
G1000 radar set to 60 NM:
G1000 radar set to 320 NM:

Seeing the same thing, something seems amiss with the radar.
