WX Ops
WX Ops: the weather writes the mission
WX Ops scans real-world weather systems every hour, searching for the conditions that turn an ordinary flight into a serious operational challenge.
When thunderstorms, powerful winds, winter storms, low visibility, nor'easters, or other significant weather develops, WayFix creates a dynamic challenge flight based on what is happening in the real world.
Boss Flights are carefully designed. WX Ops are created by the conditions unfolding right now. Airports, and the operational pressure they put you under, change as each weather system develops and moves.
A challenge opens at the airport with a window and a severity; fly to it, or out of it, while the window is open, with live weather on. The simulator's own weather near the airport is what counts, read from the telemetry like everything else, so a challenge that the sim never showed you is unverified, not passed. A pass pays $15,000 to $60,000 by severity, plus reputation and a badge for each kind of weather.
Real weather. Dynamic missions. Your decisions.
- Real-world weather scanned every hour
- Dynamically generated challenges, wherever the weather is
