Weather
Every mission flies the real recorded weather near Kobuleti for its in-game date and time of day.
At a Glance
- Weather: historical records for the in-game date and hour.
- Briefing: the generated METAR with visibility, cloud base, wind and pressure.
- Calendar: starts on 1 January 2022 and advances one day at every restart. A full in-game year passes in about two real months.
- Time of day: five slots, one per restart, always moving forward.
- Performance: weather does not change the wiki's cargo-capacity values, but it does affect your aircraft. Leave a margin for wind, temperature, terrain and visibility.
Time of Day
Each restart moves on to the next slot; after Evening it starts again at Dawn. There are six restarts a day but only five slots, so the same real-world hour gets the next slot on the following day and meets every slot once in five days.
The slots follow the sun, so their clock times shift with the season:
| Slot | Start | 21 June | 21 December | Darkness |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dawn | Sunrise - 0:30 | 05:07 - 09:07 | 08:06 - 12:06 | First 30 min before sunrise |
| Morning | Sunrise + 1:30 | 07:07 - 11:07 | 10:06 - 14:06 | none |
| Midday | Solar noon - 1:57 | 11:17 - 15:17 | 11:13 - 15:13 | none |
| Afternoon | Sunset - 5:24 | 15:27 - 19:27 | 12:20 - 16:20 | none |
| Evening | Sunset - 2:54 | 17:57 - 21:57 | 14:50 - 18:50 | Last hour after sunset, the final 30 min full night |
- Times are in-game time (Caucasus, UTC +4) for a four-hour session.
- Sun on 21 June: sunrise 05:37, sunset 20:51. On 21 December: sunrise 08:36, sunset 17:44.
