Weather
Each mission uses recorded historical weather near Kobuleti for the selected in-game date and time. The mission briefing contains the generated METAR, visibility, cloud base, wind and pressure that apply to the current flight.
The in-game calendar begins on 1 January 2022 and advances one day at every server restart. Time of day rotates through seven slots and moves forward by one slot per real day. Seasons, available daylight and typical flying conditions therefore change over the shared campaign instead of remaining fixed.
Weather affects ordinary DCS aircraft performance and route safety. It does not change the wiki's cargo-capacity values, but pilots should still leave an appropriate performance margin for wind, temperature, terrain and visibility.
