Field notes

Airport selection supports searches by code, name, or city, and many maps include taxiways and gates sourced from OpenStreetMap. Current weather reports determine the wind and active runway, while simulated traffic can fill quiet skies unless the player enables “Real planes only.” The site also describes hazards such as fuel shortages, engine failures, storms, and fog as in-game complications.
