• Hover the mouse over an object on this page to show tooltips with descriptions.
• There are seven Zone pages. In the 3-dimensional space, a zone is a cylinder with a
maximum radius of 320 nm, ranging from the ground up to 50000 ft. The zones generate the
weather around the aircraft and are accordingly represented on the weather radar, and also
influence the simulated ACARS weather data uplinks. The weather outside these zones is
generated by the weather settings on the Planet page. A zone may be deactivated by entering
four dashes “----” in the Zone center edit field. When a valid airport ICAO code is entered
in this field, the center coordinates of this zone will be moved to that airport. When the
aircraft is within this zone, the aerodynamics and the windshield view refer to this zone’s
weather. In other words, this weather is then the focussed weather. When multiple zones lie
within 320 nm of the aircraft, the nearest zone will be focussed.
